Yes things have changed a lot in the past couple of months. My mum, sees me as an aspie n my dad sees my older sister as one.. -_- long story. Where I come from there is no one who is trained to deal with Adult aspergers, because i have learnt things to make it easier on myself in social situations its hard to pick it if you dont spend a day or two with me...


Take your parents and friends views with a little suspicion. You've convinced them after all. It would be a bad logical error to allow them to now convince you, that you are an aspie.

I have the hyper sensitivity, lack of emotional connect, (took me 2 years to learn how a mother should feel towards her son), i dont give eye contact, i get extremely confused, overwhelmed and over stimulated by too many people loud souds etc. also i dont follow conversations vert well.
all these and a lot more im in no mood to write atm are what my 7 aspie friends who were not diagnosed up here in Darwin, Northern Australia, mainly say says that i am an aspie.

One even says i am so aspie i fail at the social conduct of video games... Truely, i cant pass the tribal phase of spore, i was told today that its cause its the social part of the game Steve's like "Ket, you suck, you're so aspie you cant even complete spore." and hes an aspie too.


You have an awful lot of people who know you well for an aspie. Don't take that the wrong way, but it's more common for aspies to have 0 or 1 friends. I can see why a professional would be confused.

What is the impact to your life?

Why does everyone have 6-10 aspie friends now adays? And since when do aspies have a large friend network. :lol:

I refuse to believe we are that common, I have never met anyone similar to myself.

Its not a club....


Very true! I've never knowingly met an Aspie or heard of anyone around me being am Aspie. I don't even have 7 friends nevermind 7 Aspie friends! Lol
