But Im not sure.

Thanks everybody.

And please I need answers.

Quite a few people have pointed out in your other threads that there's no way you can diagnose someone over the internet. It just isn't possible.

Well... you do have a lot of aspie traits (obsessions, perfectionism), but it is strange that your social skills have been good until now. Did you read anything about social anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder?

Thanks for answering. Hmm.. I've red something about Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder but I don't beleive I have it since I don't have fear of doing something wrong tms.

But I think also that it's weird that I have ok social skills at the age of 0-17 and then when became depressed my social skills became much worst:(:S

Here is things that are againts aspergers also: No motor problems and sensory problems. Also, I can read bodylanguege and facial expressions ok.

m just lost:S

Maybe you managed to learn social skills and acted like an NT until your depression, and then you were too tired to go on pretending? So maybe you are an aspie but managed to act NT until now?

Let's try to make a list of possible "symptoms" of AS or another syndrome, to see which fits the best:
-obsessions
-perfectionism
-routines
-social phobia from 17
-limited body language

Symptoms now:

-obsessions
-perfectionism
-routines
-social phobia from 17
-limited body language
-depression
-low self-esteem
-poor social skills
-I don't like to watch people in the eyes, I always think that they are laughing at me, don't know if I read them right.
-Lonelliness
-This is weird: I can't ''fight back'' or I always think that I must fight back. That many people are laughing at me and I must show them that Im better but I can't do it be'cause of my poor social skills.
-I can't manipulate people and to get other people on my side so I end up being alone.
-Im stubborn
-Im strongly shy
-I don't know who Im
-I always start doing thing ''right'' tomorrow, it's always tomorrow. And I must do them ''right''.
-Obsessed with aspergers
-I get along much more better with one person at time. I can't be social in group and it's difficult.
-I always had this ''one friend at a time''


If something else come to mind I will edit.

But then again: I scored just 20 points on AQ-test.

And it would made more sense if I had social problems when I was a kid and then learned to cope. I understand that for many aspergers it is like that.

I don't know. It's possible I have aspergers but Im not sure:S

I think it's unusual that you had no social problems up to 17,as adolescence is usually where AS is likely to manifest itself if it has gone undetected.Is it possible your mind is looking for a rational explanation for the depression and you have maybe subconsciously developed AS traits after hearing about them ?
I'm no expert so it's of course possible that you do indeed have AS but if you insist on an answer than I'd be inclined to agree with your girlfriend and mum and say No simply due to the lack of social
problems up to 17. If it really bothers you then you are best seeing your doctor,but whatever label people are given is probably less important than how they actually deal with any perceived problems.
The fact that you are aware of having these symptoms should in itself allow you to tackle them and as long as your friends and family are happy with you then that might be worth more peace of mind than any official diagnosis could bring !

Thanks pluto for answering:)

I still think that as would explain a lot of trouble in my life and I fill better as criteria than other conditions. I hipe I will find a specialist to give me his opinion.
