i belive an official diagnosis can be good because it leads you to contact someone who is aware of autistic spectrum problem, it may help to find solutions, keys to solve problems.
i consider myself and asperger as having social problems and distortions

there is a whole concept of mind behind asperger that aspies wont construct naturally thought they can construct it consciously
i think someone in whom you put trust and could put trust in, may be an helper because this someone may not give you answers but may help you following your path since you are quite, in a way, blind

my main problem i think is that i cant see what make relationship between human thought there is something i swear, world woulndt be like that the other way, im just unable to see it and ill probably never but
i may make myself to accord to this world as everyone does or i may live in my past, i decided to put trust in someone and this was quite an act of faith but what this person told me made me think that, in a way, she understanded me or at least how i do function, and since she is a NT she may help me to make me understand what the world is behind the black glasses i painted along the years because i want to make my futur.

im going to stop here as this is starting to be a life meaning text and i dont want to write the bible here but hey i just related what i found as my way may be you would like to take your
(i would never write such a thing irl, pfft let it be i dont care)

Yes, I am paranoid.

If I'm in a car, and someone looks out their window at me I always think they are singling me out for some reason. If I'm in public and someone looks at me for more than a few seconds I think that they don't like something about me. I am convinced that the friends I have are only merely tolerating me and that they really don't care too much about me.

Fortunately though, I can usually just ignore my paranoia.

That's called social phobia/anxiety, not paranoia. (i.e. worrying about people judging you negatively etc.)

I used to be extremely paranoid in high school (for obvious reasons; high school is notogious for being aspie-hostile). Anyhow, I constantly worried about bullies stalking me in one location or another, either in school or around the town. In school, I memorized the whereabouts of bullies, and planned my routes accordingly. Around town, I avoided places where bullies typicall congretated. To this day, I still have a quesy feeling about walking past them. The city's transit system used to me the only truly safe place: all bullies had cars and wouldn't be caught dead on public transit.

Yeah I am paranoid. I think most people dislike me. People only talk to me out of obiligation or if they don't have anyone else to talk to. I always think that I am annoying or acting weird when I interact with people. The worst one is that I hear people (strangers) talking and imagine they are talking about me when I am out. I have this big idea that in my local area I am known as a recluse with no friends. Which is sort of true. But I hate going out because I feel everywhere I go I am recognised as the 'loner weirdo'. In fact I often hear voices of people slagging me off when in fact there are no people around, just the hum of machinery or ambient noise. This I find quite disturbing, especially as I can get quite angry about the imagined criticism.

But then all these thoughts related to paranoia are pretty understandable seeing as I have no friends at all and most people I meet do think I am weird. I know I am imagining it sometimes but not all the time. So is that paranoia?

I am probably the most paranoid person on the boards. I know the CIA and FBI are after me for controlling criminals with my evil mind of mine. The lovely government is also controlling me through chips implanted in my body. I know it sounds crazy but its true. My psychiatrist is out to get me because he thinks I'm schizo on top of the autism. I don't hear voices all the time like a schizophrenic though so I don't know how he came to that conclusion. I know what you are all thinking. Man, is she delusional! I ain't that crazy. Oh, I hate thought insertion! It is the most annoying thing on this planet! My brother is very annoying as well. He uses his "Breath of Death" on me. How sweet of him. I also worry that people could read my mind. I think people are talking about me everywhere I go because of my sometimes unusual thoughts and behavior. Sometimes my behavior is so weird that I think I am a bird and can fly and speak a different language which is non existent. I'm so confused right now and forgot something. My memory is great. I also become catatonic sometimes. That is all for now. Can't think of anything else.

Before I was dx'd with AS I was (and often still am by some people) constantly accused of being a lazy rulebreaker because of my sensory issues and meltdowns, which has made me very paranoid about unfair criticism.

I freak out about my friends abandoning me, and I worry about other stuff like university and having a family ALL THE TIME (I'm only 16)

I get paranoid about some things because I overanalyze situations and always look for the "worst possible outcome" scenario and make it more real than it should be, not listening to opinions I read or hear from others. For example, I was scared to eat ground beef for two years after reading the book "Toxin" by Robin Cook. (By comparison, a NT friend only steered clear for a week or two, he read it on my recommendation).

Paranoia isn't restricted to aspies. I know NTs who are way more paranoid than I am, with delusional thoughts. :roll:

I, too, have paranoia. Not of the same things though. All of them started because my 5th grade teacher was giving a lesson about probability and she said that literally anything can happen. Can someone please talk some sense into me? Maybe say the exact opposite of what she said? Please? :(
