Ok, I know it's a developmental disorder (or rather a syndrome because obviously those diagnosed can use it as a plus and not as a negative in life or something like that), but one learns through that and it affects throughout life. Oh, basically I'm wondering how it is that one know if they had or have this syndrome. I've been diagnosed with ADHD and Bi-Polar, and probably would have been with Depression if I would be more honest with psychiatrist, but I have had problems even with those that try to be professional even though I know that they are just human and probably didn't even know that their comments were unprofessional and in some cases mean. I know that I should talk more with psychiatrists especially of problem that I have with them, but have a hard time with that. Which makes no sense because I like pointing out mistakes, but I think that's in people I know though.
Not sure where to start to help out though. I don't appear to have a problem with looking people in the eyes now, but do remember that before I was in the military I looked at the ground a lot. People used to think I was always depressed and I would just tell them I was deep in thought. Not that that wasn't true, but I think I always looked at the floor. Oh, I think I read something about the memory, I have an odd memory. I can remember stuff from years back, but can't remember something tells me right after they tell me. Oh, I respond to people sometimes well after they tell me something sometime, I've attributed it to having a hard time breaking apart words and sentences, but that doesn't seem to happen that often I think. It's just that sometimes I hear someone say something and seem to think that it's a single word that I just don't know, but upon realizing that it's not then break it down. Mostly now I just get the person to repeat themselves as though I didn't hear them. I think a lot of people think I'm deaf. Oh, I've had problems with sleeping all my life. Now I have less problems sleeping probably because if I stay awake past twenty-four hours my body reacts very badly. I think staying up every weekend most of my life and for about six days straight (due to having three jobs in which two should have been part time, but weren't) might have caused that.
I'm going to stop now because nobody is probably going to get through any of this...

Welcome to WP!

Tim

Welcome

You'd be surprised!

Welcome to WP. Take a good look around and join in... that's what I did and I've been doing some pretty intense morphings throughout the insect and bird worlds by the looks of my post count... but don't worry... they don't hurt at all. One minute your a butterfly, the next you're some bird banging his head against a tree.

If that makes any sense!

I was just about to ask you where you got the name Tim from, but you were putting your name and not trying to say mine.... My bad... Thank you... I'm not an Aspie (is that right?), but might be maybe. My Primary mentioned it so I'm just researching. Well, he mentioned a month or two or so ago and I'm researching now. I read up on it, but think I'm biased so sent the page to my parents, but don't know how that's going to go. I'm not to good with therapy or whatever, but have been told many times that I need it. I was even ordered once, but refused. Didn't think anyone could do that in the military, did you? Actually, I didn't directly refuse, I just didn't go. I didn't do that much though, mostly I followed orders.

Isn't the butterfly supposed to be the end of that statement, or the end of the stage of development? It probably doesn't matter, I think I see what you mean, sorta... You are flying along just fine or fluttering, and next thing you know you are strengthening and straightening, but hitting trees hard as opposed to the butterfly just bumping it. Of course, you could mean that you are hitting your head in frustration against the tree. Is that what you meant?

Good try... but perhaps you should just watch the tiny boxes and label underneath your name as your posts increase.

HINT: right now, you're an emu egg

Oh, this is about levels of posts? Sorry, about that. I thought it was something to indicate something else... My bad...

Hey, no worries. I was being playful, which is not always the same as being clear.

Oh, someone said there was an online test for Asperger's. I know that one can't be too sure unless you are diagnosed by a professional or something, but oh well... I'm off to find it...

Actually this is only the 137654th time I've seen this question, not even a seventh of the way to a million.

The sure way to know if you have this syndrome is to get professionally diagnosed. I don't know what there is around your area for that and it usually isn't free either, so my advice is just join the board if you feel that you identify.

Not sure yet, my problem is standing still though. One of the symptoms is to stick to routine, but I'm not a routine type person I think... I feel trapped if I live in one place for too long. Maybe I'm just messed up. Damn, I've not been getting good sleep all weekend, I have to get up for work tomorrow, and I have to go home... Well, I'll write when I get chance... I'll do test then too...

Hey, Jayon! ... One of his behaviours is to read the same post over and over exactly 137,653 times

Ah... Well, how many different posts have you read not counting reading a post after it has been edited if you have read it the first time before it was edited?
