Hello everyone. I am a girl from norway. I may have asperger syndrom, I and my terapist has been working with the diagnos for almost 2 years now. I feel like I am, stuck in betveen. Like... There are some things with asperger syndrom I can relate to, but also lots off things i cam not. I strugel with eye contact, and i am not good at small talking. But, some things like sensitiv from light, and sound etc... Those are thinks i dont feel i strugel so mutch from.

This is so hard for me. I have always hade that hard feel that it somtehing wrong with me. Is there someon that can relate? Like maby have a mild asperger or something?

I just need someon to talk with.

(Sorry for my bad english)

Girl, 20

Welcome! Yes, I can relate. There are some symptoms I don't have, like need for routines, severe sensory sensitivity, monologuing, and dislike of all small talk and social activities.

Welcome to WP, celllaa95. Firstly, about your English, it's much better than some of the English I hear here in the southern United States. You use good grammar, and you haven't said the word "y'all" at all so feel good about that. :lol:

Secondly, if you do have sensitivity to light and sound, problems relating to other people in social situations, etc..., then you probably do have Asperger's.

I can relate to you by the fact that I haven't actually been diagnosed either. It sounds like you're in the process, though. I have a condition called Septo Optic Dysplasia (SOD, hence the ribbon in my avatar), and most everyone with that condition has severe autism. That's one of the reasons why I'm here. Also, I have the symptoms of Asperger's, so I figure I have it. I haven't sought a diagnosis though, and I'm contemplating whether or not it would be worthwhile.

Nevertheless, I wish you all the best with yours. :)

Welcome! Yes, I relate - and your English is very good. Nobody has all the symptoms, and there are differences between women and men as far as what symptoms are more common. This is something I'm still working on. I'm not diagnosed yet, but I think my lack of understanding social expectations has been a problem... I say inappropriate things and that's bad for work.

Thank you all for the response :) Good too hear that I am not the only one. I kind off never heard off asperger, untill my terapis told me that I maby could have it. I think that, to get this diagnos, is like finding the last pace off a puzzel. I have all my life struggel with anxiety and depression, withoaut knowing way. I have also been diagnose with ADHA to. I think that it all begin to make sense know.

I have another querstion to you guys. Are the somone of you, that continually overthinking? Sometimes it feel's like that is this overthinking that is my bigest problem. It realy bothers me. Overthinking every thing, all the time. It feels like I am going nuts soon.

Good too here that you guys can understan my english :)

Welcome. Yes I overthink a lot too. I've tried learning ways to deal with it, but a lot of the time they don't work well.

I am overthinker too, because I want to avoid all problems.
If I try not to overthink, then I am worried of problems.
But don't worry, because problems come always.
If we do underthink, problems will come
If we do overthink, problems will come.
If we do no think, problems will come.
Any choice, problems still come.
So don't be afraid of problems.
Welcome all new problems.
Life is always problems.
Problems are good.
We will grow :D
