Alfonso, I have no idea man. What would it mean to you if you did have aspergers and, what would it mean to you if you didn't have aspergers?
If I did have it or did not have it, I wouldn't be a mixture anymore. The thing is, because of being a mixture, I never really felt like I completely fit in anywhere. Most other people and I have always been too different, but when I finally thought I had a reason and I came here, for some reason, all because I don't seem to have all the symptoms, I feel like if I can't fit in inside of an Aspie community, I can't really fit in anywhere.Alfonso, if you've felt different your whole life, you may never shake that feeling. I've felt lonely my whole life and I'm a very socialable NT and funny person, I have a lot of friends, yet I still feel lonely. It may never go away.
Also, this site has a culture and there is etique for fitting in (I've had trouble before).
What brought you to wrong planet in the first place? How did you come to imagine you might have aspergers?
A friend suggested that it was possible that I might have it and this friend also has it. When he mentioned it to me, I had no idea what AS was, so I did some research on it and a lot of the traits seemed to fit. I did as much research on it as I could, sometimes reading things over again to be sure I didn't miss anything. After I took a look at the criteria required for a diagnosis, my doubts vanished.
Edit: I made a list of all of the symptoms I have noticed, I've been keeping a list of certain things about me that have always been a bit strange, some of them I was not sure of the cause, but discovered they were caused by AS, so I've got quite a list... Some of them have improved over time and were severe when I was younger, such as problems dealing with change. One small change with just about anything by another person would upset me terribly, but that has gotten much better over the years. It's improved to the point that unexpected changes still annoy me, but I am able to handle them alright when they happen.
Thanks for all of the replies, they have been helpful. My doubts are all gone now.
