Hello. So I was REALLY nervous about posting anything anywhere about this since I am only self diagnosed and am in fact NOT a doctor, but after studying the subject for someone else in my family, I started seeing how these things related to me. When I started bringing certain behaviors to light, my wife agreed. But I'm not going to be a noob and list all of my "symptoms" and unload my personal baggage, nor am I going to look for an official diagnosis (I HATE the doctors... don't get me started).
What I will say is that after reading up and studying on the subject, I can honestly say I feel like things finally make sense. I have also read others say the same thing once the light bulb clicked on. All of the awkward social interactions I've had my whole life, all of the quirkiness and odd behaviors I know I had/have, all of the obsessions I have had and will have, all of the people who think I'm a "prick" because of what I say (I am just bluntly honest!), all of these things finally make sense. I don't think I have as many issues as others, which lead me to second guess myself about having Aspergers, but the more I read about it the more it became certain. The sense of understanding as per why you're always the different one has been an amazing experience for me lately and being able to embrace who I am, how I think and why I can make Microsoft Excel my b*tch, has been an amazing journey.
Now I don't feel like I wasted a day, or week(s)... when someone asks me a simple question and I can't help but turn it into a statistics problem and proceed to make complicated spreadsheets to exploit the paterns and thus try to produce a simple answer...
