I need a bit of help

Post Reply New Topic

I'm sure I have aspergers but I want a second opinion.
Gonna go on the symptoms and the reader,yes you,may leave an opinion based on these facts.
DISCLAIMER:Asperger affects everyone differently

•Monotone voice
I've had a monotone voice for a long time,just recently I've learned to add some emotion but it's exhausting so I avoid it.Been called robot several times.

•Sarcasm
I can understand it pretty well because of my savior Google,still flies over my head (friend point it out)

•Lack of innate social skills
Keyword innate,learned some basic social skills but it feels like I'm pretending to be someone else.

•Routine
Can't be disturbed without warning before hand so I can change my planame accordingly,failure to comply and I'll be upset.

•Obsessions and strong interests
Every week or two my obsession changes,one week it might be literature while the other science.The interests are very strong and if I can't pursue them I also get very upset.

-Tonal recognition
Only emotions I can recognize are joy and anger because of movies and then I sometimes fail.

•Pattern recognition
Ability to recognize patterns efficiently because of way of thinking.Useful in subjects like math.

•Analitycal thinking
This reddit post:
"WTF, why would he/she say that when the answer is plain to see... Why is he talking about that.... Where is this conversation supposed to be going.... What is their angle..... How is this person able to keep spouting words which basically don't mean anything..... Why are they doing this....... That's a fake laugh...... That one over there isn't being sincere...... He misused that word..... no, don't correct him because it's considered rude...... No, please don't lean on me, I don't know you well enough for body contact, oh geez, they're doing it anyway..... Auuuuugh... must find exit to conversation without being rude...... cd /socialscripts/adaptive_mechanisms/excuses run politeexcusesforleaving.exe...... running batch scripts..... process complete..... exit"

•Lack of empathy
This is why I'm the one who always resolves conflict;I'm emotionally detached from both sides.
•Sensory Overload:
Ears are sensitive,be in a loud room I get overloaded and instinctively cover my ears.

I had a more descriptive post but I hit submit and it deleted.
While I'm here:
¿Why is it hard to diagnose autism in adults or teenagers?

We here aren't qualified to diagnose someone, let alone over the internet; Ask your local doctor for a formal diagnosis


Diagnosing (young) adults is hard becouse we typically have developed coping mechanisms that reduce the effects of our triggers and which mask our autistic traits. These often become so ingrained that it is hard to 'turn them off' for an evaluation.

He is 13 years old, according to his profile

If he could get his parents to encourage his school to assess him, that might do the trick.

My doctor told me I am autistic.
I told him I wanted a second opinion.
He said, "ok you're ugly too" (rimshot)

Anyways, has any doctor. teacher or family member ever picked up on the stuff you are describing?

If he could obtain an official diagnosis, that might help him when it comes to things like academic accommodations.

Of course, in the US, there is no more "Asperger's." Relatively "high-functioning" people on the Spectrum are usually diagnosed with "Autism Spectrum Disorder, Level One."

Ok, I've taken those tests before scored high autism/aspergers on various tests and I really just wanted a second opinion,so thanks for helping anyways even if your not allowed to diagnose someone.I don't want to go to the doctor since I'm doing fine in school and everything else in my life.Thanks to you guys anyways.

(Edit)Fixed a gnarly grammar mistake.

I know so much because one of my obsessions was this topic and it has lasted around 3 weeks.Still that's good advice and will continue doing further research.
I love being informed on a subject.

(Edit)Thanks for commenting that I'm a grounded individual,learned something new today. (^_^)
