Heya guys,

Its only recently that I've found that I may have ADHD or asperger. Currently the GP diagnose my condition as Dysthymia as I have complaints on mental fogginess, unable to concentrate in a conversation, behave inappropriate in social situations & etc. I didn't knew I had a problem but I am socially withdrawn and and used to isolation, playing computer games. But when I have decided to be more social and know more friends (other than my close friends) to realize that I was deeply socially inferior and never understood why they didn't want to stick long with me.

I've took MBTI and came out to be INTJ , forming 0.8% of the population, rare. I anaylse alot in my brain and hardly be able to explain how it works. I literally live in my head and reply people in my head. o.O I see through people, lies, society and know if people are manipulative.

I'm also a Indigo child, New age stuff. I detest authority and rules and lost in this world/society. I believe in chakra healing and collecting crystals to make me feel better in some ways.

I've been drawing alien and ufo non stop during class as well as been fascinated on ET , astrology.

I am obsessed with astrology and label people by their star signs. I analyses their character through that.

I can't sense jokes/sarcasm at times , i feel people are nervous around me. Thus I am quiet and reserved most of the time in groups. obviously that's why I can't make friends

After anti depressant pills, my dreams went from vivid to lucid. I didnt want to wake up and had excessive sleeping up to 12-14 hours. I am constantly deprive of sleep since young due to over active mind.

I am expressionless most of the time, people call me stuck up, aloof, proud. So I keep smiling and joke / act in a drama way to counteract, which may be inappropriate at times for example a work discussion.

I hate small talks

my IQ is above average at 120-130 on different IQ test.

.
.
I need to improve myself to be more NT & coping skills
to be continued as I'll be visiting my psychiatrist soon for further diagnose

Pardon my english

Hi mrfoggy, welcome to WP!

Your English is fine

Hello and welcome! Enjoy your time here.

Hi, welcome Your English is understandable. No problem there.

Thanks yigeren, fizzyorange & ErwinNL.

Does anyone share experiences of "repetitive behavior" ?

Welcome to WP! What exactly do you mean by repetitive behaviour?

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hey mrfoggy welcome.

Welcome to the site

extract from aspie website

" These behaviors differ from tics in that they are voluntary movements in the motor sense; voluntary in this case does not imply that they are easily stopped. In fact, there is considerable support for the notion that these movements have a calming or regulatory effect on the nervous system. "

as for me I may have repetitive speech issue. I repeat some things i said

Ok, so it sounds like you have echolalia.

I have hand gestures that I do when anxious, and ones that I do if I'm excited or happy. I also bounce my legs, tap or rub my head, and flick my fingers. I rock sometimes. I also frequently pace or shift from foot to foot.

That is also called "stimming" here. I have certain hand movements that I do.

Hmm ecoholalia sounds different to my case ..

It's something like I can't move on to the next conversation and keep looping in repeated questions ignoring the person if he is interested or acknowledge.

Hello, welcome to here
