Hi everyone,

I've wondered off and on for a while about whether I could have aspergers. I initially didn't think so because I don't exhibit enough behaviours/characteristics, but I realize there's a spectrum and I could just have problems with socializing and relationships which is what made me suspect I may have aspergers in the first place. It wasn't until I was older that I became introspective enough to recognize some of my own behaviours.

I was going to post some images of my results from online aspergers tests, but as a new user I'm not allowed.

I took a test 2 separate times with similar results
I scored 94/200 for aspie traits and 107/200 for neurotypical traits
and the second time 102/200 for aspie traits and 111/200 for neurotypical traits.

On eye emotion recognition tests I score average-to-slightly-above-average.

I guess if I'm an aspie then I'd be a fairly high functioning one.

Anyway I just wanted to make my first post before I go to bed.

It seems like a bit of a long shot, but it's still possible that you might have Aspergers. It's definitely worth looking into more.
