When you suspected you had Aspergers. How sure were you??

Post Reply New Topic

I'm about 80-90 percent sure.

I was about 90% sure. Now it's gone up to 99% since, although it doesn't explain everything, it explains me better than anything else.

99 percent sure, but I haven't been officially diagnosed yet. It would explain so much and the symptom list fits completely. The only thing I am unsure about is emotion--for example, I feel like I have empathy.

I wasn't too sure when I was little, but my mom suspected it. I guess I just listened to her. After joining Wrong Planet, I'm positive, because I've learned so much more about AS, and it amazes me how well I fit in here, where I've had problems fitting in on other sites. :S

YES...I definitely seem like a weirdo on most forums and it was great coming here and feeling like I do fit in

Exactly. :D I don't want to sound vain, but it's like I've found a community of Specters :D I'm sure you all feel the same way about yourselves too!

99.9% sure. If it's not Aspergers, I don't know what else it could be. I had so many classic symptoms as a child I do not know how it could have been missed. At any rate I am not, never have been, and never will be, "normal" although I do a pretty good chameleon act at times.

Closetaspy, they probably didn't know about it...it was 1944 when it was first discovered or something, right?

Yes, and this was the 60's. But Dr. Grandin is ten years older than me (I have met her!) and they knew right from the start with her that it was autism. With me they said Perceptual Disorder. It was never defined except my mother said, the way I perceive things, the way I look at life, is not the way life really is. !? And then people wonder why I have a problem with self-confidence, even after all these years I am still not sure of myself and probably never will be. It's like a compass with no magnet, the needle just spins and spins. How do you know what is real and what is not? How do you know what is true? How do you know you are not making things up? I don't know about anyone else, but that may be one reason I shun eye contact. Because I am afraid of being unmasked, exposed.

87% sure.

I go from about 0% to about 80% and have been since I first heard about AS nearly 7 years ago.

99 for me....^_^

I was never sure. I was diagnosed before I even knew what it was.


But off and on I feel I have it and then I don't. It depends on what I am reading about it. If it's with symptoms then yes, but if it's with personal stories or about characters having it or people having it, then no off and on.

I can't even rate my percentage chance because I'm already diagnosed before I even knew about it.

I get 99% sure reading info on adult aspies, esp females, then I consider going for a diagnosis and look at the DSM criteria and am filled with doubt and feel like a shy weirdo trying to have a medical excuse for being lazy - I'm all over the place really.

I was like 100% sure cuz it explained so much about why I act this way.
