Hi All,
I was listening to the radio the other day and there was a show on about Asperger. The symptom's they were describing explained many of the difficulties I've had throughout my life. Hyperfocus on things of interest, annoyance with noise and interruption, some social difficulties and shyness, technical interests, dislike of changes in my environment (When I was six I threw a shoe at my mother because she had cut her hair). They, also describe my dad (A research scientist).
I took the online assessment quiz and scored 122 Aspie and 88 NT. Does this mean I'm on the low end or what?
In some ways I think I would have scored higher as a child but as an adult I have compensated by really working at it, but it things like small talk and meeting people are still exhausting. I do actually enjoy people when I start of feel more comfortable. Any books on helping Aspies get over social phobias?

Clothing: Lucky for me my G.F. is in fashion, so she keeps me casual, but well dressed.
How did you find this website? Web search

Plans for the future? See above.
Any comments?

Hello nexus6
Welcome to WP
When I was younger I also hated getting my hair cut. I used to run out of the house everytime someone would say "hair-dresser" (literally)
