do you think that i am aspie?.

My mum thinks I have social anxiety because I find it really hard communicating with people,
but I think that I am aspie
This is a day in my life ( a school day anyway)


I always get up at 6:36 am.if it's later than this, the whole morning just feels wrong.
I get ready in the same order every day and i always leave the house at the same time.
I walk to school a back way, which is longer, but it means I dont see so many people.
I have my earphones in so I have an excuse for not talking to anyone I know if I see them approach.

whem I get to school I follow someone else into my tutor room because I get nervous about opening the wrong door
and I think people will laugh if i get the wrong one.When i finally go in, I walk around the chav table-ignoring their shouts
of "you never talk to us"-walk around the back of the classroom and sit in the same spot every day.
As my name gets nearer on the register I get anxious and say something really stupid to the person I am sat next to so that I can physically answer my name.
In lessons I hardly talk, except for in maths because I always have to help people do their homework and tell them the answers. (or science- I'm usually spilling acid on myself or setting my book on fire or something stupid like that)
at breaktimes and lunchtimes i am listening to music because if people think I can't hear them, they dont say anything.I don't talk to them because I have to concentrate on following the conversation and after a while my mind gets tired of all the people and shuts off.
I have been called "ret*d" on a few occasions especially after today, when I went into my planet and started fiddling with cobwebs that were hanging from a wall.When I came back into the right planet I'd missed pretty much the whole lunch.
One friend I have in school (who has OCD) always says that I am a social ret*d.(she says that she is too and we laugh about it)

some other random things:


I am incredibly clumsy, I walk into doors often and have broken my front teeth 8 times from random accidents.
I hate being touched lightly because it makes me jump and I can feel it for ages afterwards.
I am quite light sensitive and very noise sensitive.
I have an IQ of 130+ and pretty much everyone who likes me calls me "the human calculator"apart from my mum who calls me a human Google.
I live in my own world at least 3/4 of the time
What I have thought for most of my life is that I'm not supposed to be on this planet;that I came from a different planet to study humans.

if you have it
dont use it as an excuse for things and be proud of it.

i wake up at that time without an alarm clock, almost every day. if i close eyes and fall asleep, then it's difficult to wake up again.

I don't think so!

In fact, it's actually mainly because you've been called names, I think!

You definitely have a lot of the signs-which I have as well.

I begin my day precisely at 6 a.m., although my cats wake me up around 4 a.m.

I like to do things at certain times every day.

My strong subjects were English and anything involving research and study. I also like learning languages.
