am I? am I partly autistic or whatever you want to call it without any speech delays?

Or am I just a f***ed up love-shy introverted extroverted wannabe social phobic who was somehow traumatized growing up?

I really wish I knew I just dont know....I just need to know what's wrong with me because its killing me. Asperger's or not I have never been in a relationship before and I feel like Im scared and I have issues to which I cant comprehend sometimes

sometimes I try ...I try really hard tobe going to say hi to everyone I try to pretend. fake it untill you make it right? I try to outgoing but maybe now I feel like smoking cannabis and drinking have done a bit to make me more social but really just really have just killed a part of myself and now I have no idea......

that would be really cool if I didnt have it......but at the same time I need to figure out what the hell is wrong with me............love-shy defintitly fits except for the rock music thing which I love. very similar to love-shy from what iv read.


other than that what is wrong with me?

Im 22 and its painfull obvious just how far behind I am than my peers......years.......many years behind everyone else my age

Well I don't think you are Asperger himself.. or itself..

but I have no idea waht love-shy is, just because you are shy does not mean that you have AS.

Honestly, I don't really know what a lot of the things you are talking about in your post cause they don't really make sense.

Nobody can tell from just a forum post. You could have AS or some elements of it. Keep investigating.

sounds like 'social phobic' could pretty much cover it.

Do you have any of the other traits of aspergers? Obsessive interests, narrow focus, ritualized behaviour, difficulty reading people etc?

i dont know........

reading people would be a big thing Iv never really seen emotions before in people

Iv had these weird sensory issues with my eyes and theres fabrics that torture me so I cant wear them.

I walk weird and am awkward and clumsy and my voice sounds monotone

and I have an awfully hard time figuring out just who I am.

OK those things certainly fit the profile of autism. Be reassured that you're not alone. I'd say it bears further research.
