What's up everyone. My name Dan from Tampa, FL and I'd like to get some opinions from y'all if I am an aspie or NT. I understand the only way to know 100% is to get a diagnoses, but this study is only for my own curiousity. This is all very confusing for me, so if you all wouldn't mind taking a moment of your time to help me out based on your experiences, it would be very appreciated.
My interests include skateboarding, golf, and learning about beliefs, dating and relationships, and applied psychology, but don't have any interests that don't have anything to do with anything like license plate numbers.
5'9 155 Lbs, 20 yrs old, athletic build.
Been guilty of obsessing over skateboarding and golf....
also dating dynamics, and psychology (only for the purpose of finding fulfillment in life), and putting these things above all other priorities like family, friends, and God.
Been called a social misfit and off-beat, but also have been described as thoughtful, passionate, and normal.
I frequently take social initiaitve and find it is not wanted.
I went to Florida State for a year and a half, and dropped out because I had problems getting along socially with my peers.
I am not sensative to light or any kind of noise.
I see myself unusually mature and responsible for my age, but I have always had a problem socializing and effectively communicating in social situations.
Have no problem with eye contact.
Do have the ability to make people laugh with me (no at me) and have been called charming at times, and I also the ability to be sarcastic. I do not take everything literally.
I have the ability to "read" people but for some odd reason lack the ability to judge if my actions are being constructive or destructive toward any given environment. This causes many situations where I do not get what I want not becasue I couldn't read people, but becasue I couldn't anticipate the effect my action, or lack of, would have on the environment. Anyone who has experienced this knows it can eat you heart out and leave you emotionally crippled. I experience this everyday and it kills me!! !! !! !! agghhh!! !! !! If I can solve this or cure this, my quality of life would skyrocket!! !! !!
Main struggles include communication, communication, and communication.
Well, there a few descriptions of myself and how I relate to the world. Again, all opinions, constructive criticism (I can recieve this also without taking offense), and comments are appreciated and will seriously be considered.
