I just found out that I have asperger's. I am good with the fact that i have asperger's. This is new to me. Can someone help me understand it a little more?

Hello morgeny. Welcome to WP!

Have you thought of looking at the Wikipedia entry and elsewhere on this site?

Hi. Can you say more details? Were you recently diagnosed?

yes i was recently diagnosed with asperger's

Did your doctor talk to you about it?

no school psychologist and my mom

OK... You want to know more about it. Usually Aspies will have a few of these in common:

* Lack of or partial eye contact
* Stimming (doing a repetitive action to concentrate or relax)
* Intense interests
* Difficulty understanding social cues, jokes, double meanings etc.
* Meltdowns (when outside stimuli overloads you, and you feel disturbance)
* Needing to switch off after social situations
* Difficulties with socialising and initiating
* Preferring not to 'small-talk'
* Sensory sensitivity (to touch, clothes, lights, taste etc.)

Do you relate to some of these?

yes some of them
like preferring not to small talk and difficulty understanding social cues

I forgot needing a routine and difficulty adjusting to changes, it's also a main one. And there's also being rigid with rules, and not being able to tell lies or white lies.

yeah those too
