Hello, I'm viska.

I think I have AS but I haven't been diagnosed, so I'm not sure. I have mental health issues right now (I have been in a deep depression for a few years now), so I feel like I need to fix those before I get an AS diagnosis.

Here's a short story that might help explain why I think I have AS. When I was in 5th grade, one day our school took us to "Enterprise City." It takes place in a large, empty loft where they've set up a fake city. The idea is to teach 5th graders about the "real world". Everyone has a job that they do most of the day - they also get a paycheck (in fake money) which they can spend at the shops and such during a break.

At Enterprise City, I was a DJ for the radio station. (I love music.) We charged (fake money) for song requests and song dedications. Lots of people did both.. there was one dedication that was a little bit different. Someone wanted to dedicate the "Weird Al" song named "Fat" to a girl in our class. At the time, I was just thinking.. "Ok, person X bought a dedication to person Y of song Z. So I will go on the air and say it.". For some reason, the implications of doing this dedication on the radio (everyone in the city could hear) never crossed my mind.

On air, I did the (now in retrospect, obviously cruel) dedication.. oblivious of its impending ramifications. The girl ran out of the loft, crying. After I learned about this, I felt really bad... but somehow... at the time, I didn't realize that the dedication would be perhaps something I should skip on, even though it was in the rules. I have a lot more stories like this.

Anyway.. I'm 26 now. I live on my own and I've held down a job for a year. Before that, I was self-employed for 2 years before eventually failing.

I've managed to take care of the financial sphere of my life, but the social and romantic spheres of my life are utter failures.

Here is my picture, taken on the world's worst webcam.

edit: I don't want to post it in public. >_<

Welcome!

Welcome, and congrats on your financial success. I'm sure you will become successful in other areas of your life if you keep working on it. Being financially stable is a good start, don't take it for granted!

Thank you guys. I took the popular online test and here's my result.


Your Aspie score: 142 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 56 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie



So yeah, I don't know.

Diagnostic prediction for Score Prediction
Asperger/HFA/PDD 148 You very likely will be able to receive the diagnosis
Dyspraxia 142 You very likely will be able to receive the diagnosis
Social phobia 141 You very likely will be able to receive the diagnosis
ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder) 130 You very likely will be able to receive the diagnosis

Welcome Viska,

I also have these kind of stories happening to me regularly (last month I got my sister crying). What happens to me the mostly is that I say things that I think are completely normal but that actually are really weird/absurd, that in order to fix what I said I have to make it into a joke.
