Hello. I don't really know how to start this out, but I am a girl who has been "diagnosed" with aspergers but tested negative (is this the correct term?). Anyway, this happened about 4 or 5 years ago. At the time I was 9, and me and my parents simply believed that I wasn't autistic. However, right now, I have figured out that I have quite a few symptoms that were unique to autism. First, when I was younger I HATED eye contact. It didn't come naturally to me at all, but I later learned that I had to use it. Second, I have a very strange diet. I don't eat fruits, vegetables, anything that has been "mixed" with another good group. It's less a dislike rather than a "phobia"? However I don't fear the food I just hate being near it. Third, I noticed that I forget words and letter very often. To combat this I always retread my last sentence. Also when talking, I mix up my words with my thoughts. This happens around 4 times a school week, though. I've notice other symptoms, such as a lack of social instinct when I was younger and fear of permanent change. There are some other symptoms I also have. However, I was tested negative for autism, so I fully understand that I may not be autistic and that is fine.
