Self Diagnosed Aspie Questions

Post Reply New Topic

My particular problem is I dont find the strength to go and say hello and in any case we dont share the same social setting. Infact I dont think I would consider myself least bit social. I just cant bump into her to say hello. I always imagine well constructed scenarios with each line of word I say well constructed and delivered on time. Nothing I say must be illogical or without reason but I do know what to say when and how to make people laugh. My eye contact skills (im not sure if thts a skill) are extremely poor. The probability that we bump into each other for eg. in the library or anywhere else is 1/20,000 (20,000 being the number of students in the university).

One thing is for sure I do have some ASD related mental ability (I can never call it a disability). I spoke to my mother this morning just to ask her how I acted when I was 2-5 years old. I was shy, quiet, didnt speak much, didnt like people much, self-indulged, made up stories that I would implement in toy games and I use to hate it when someone touched by perfectly stacked ABC blocks. I would spend hours in the corner of the house playing and didnt like being disturbed. I wasnt too fond of other children.

I am glad that I have found a logical reason for not being NT.
Thank You & God Bless

My last psychiatrist said that the cut-off point and the AQ test wasnt exactly the best of tests for Aspergers.

I usually score between 29 and 34, low = answer pessimistically, high = optimistically. So, statistically i'm around 31.5, but that does not mean anything since the test go through all types of quality of life reducing symptoms, and some may be severely impairing your ability to function socially with others. And some traits are really not a problem and can sometimes be seen as a strength instead.

To the OP: The best assessment can be given to you by a psychologist. The AQ test does not weigh so much and the other test isn't a scientifically approved test - even though its probably better than the AQ test.
