I've been through alot in life and I'm starting to wonder if

Post Reply New Topic

I have aspergers or autism.

Things I realize:
I'm 20 and I have never had a girl friend.
I'm always tired and fatigued
I'm not very articulate
There's hardly any emotion in my voice
My walk is stiff
I have almost no friends
I have a non existent social life
It's very draining to socialize with some people. It takes alot out of me
I'm pretty quiet
I'm pretty disorganized and can be lazy at times
And lastly and although no one has outright said it, its been implied by a couple people throughout my life that I'm "ret*d", "slow" or "weird". And not just outsiders but by my own family.

Do any of these strike you aspie-traits?

I am an aspie and I have every single thing you listed, with only 2 exeptions:

1) I am tired/fatigued mostly because I stay up late studying and am sleep deprived. But still regardless of a reason, this describes me.

2) While a lot of people call me ret*d, none of them are my family members. My family members are overprotective of me due to Asperger, so they won't EVER call "ret*d" someone they perceive as vulnerable. But I guess treating me as vulnerable hurts even more than being called "ret*d", at least from where I am sitting.

Other than these two things, everything else is exactly me. So yes it does sound like Asperger.

Is the fatigue thing common with Asperger's? I have been battling fatigue my whole life. When I was a little girl I actually fantasized about being Sleeping Beauty. Not for the handsome prince but because I wanted to sleep for a hundred years. It has seriously affected my life. I thought it was Depression and a subconscious death wish but even after treatment I want to sleep sleep sleep. I'm not diagnosed btw but I meet the criteria with varying degrees of severity between categories.
