Hey guys

A bit about me:

I've kinda suspected I might have something up with me for many years.
I'm 27 and always had trouble making new friends; been a bit socially awkward; been a bit obsessive; and been into guitar, computer programming, gaming, fixing things, car engines etc. forever. I stutter sometimes when I'm speaking or I speak too fast. I hate speaking on the phone sometimes, mainly when it's something to do with work - even though I worked in call centres for 18 months and was fine there. I'm great at speaking on the phone to friends and family.
I procrastinate a lot, to the point where it damages my career and studying.

Here are a few of my quiz scores:

Actionpam quiz:

Agree: 4,5,6,7,12,16,18,19,21,22,23,26,33,39,41,43: 1 point
Disagree: 1,3,11,15,17,29,38,44,47,49: 1 point
Score: 26

OkCupid, broad autism phenomenom test:

You scored 100 aloof, 79 rigid and 81 pragmatic

and the Aspie Quiz:

Your Aspie score: 136 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 81 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

I don't know if I have Asperger's, I don't know if I should go see a doctor. Should I maybe do some more of the quizzes?

Well, perhaps it is likely, but as is always said don't necessarily treat the internet quizzes as fact
In any case, you are welcome here, so welcome! :)

Welcome to WP! What clan are you from? I'm from Shaw (Macintosh) on my mom's side and Douglas on my dad's (I think).

I'm a Guthrie on my dad's side and from the Irish Mooney family on my mum's side. I'll be getting married in full Guthrie tartan next summer :)
