Do I have Asperger's?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, my English is not so perfect but you will understand. I'm 32 and suspect something is "wrong" with me for years. As I like to investigate psychology came across Asperger's and finally thought this is it. Almost all symptoms describes me. Biggest problem for me is eye contact and thinking that my part of dialogue is so bad that other side don't think I'm adult and smrt enough. Also this is much worse if I have to speak with stranger or some serious talk. My question is what do you think I have Asperger's and is there any technique to overpower this. Or in other words how to live with that?

If you want to know more... I don't have any contacts with anyone who I didn't see more than 2-3 months, not sure if I like anyone but also don't dislike anyone I came across, like music especially piano, hate small talks I find them very exhausting and annoying...

Who knows?

Are you in a country where you can get assessed for Asperger's or autism easily? IF so, then go get yourself assessed.

You seem to have the general "symptom-pattern" of being Aspie and having high-functioning autism.

But if I were to actually diagnose you, I would be a total nut.

Not so easy in my country also my job is in danger if I have any kind of psychological disease...

Don't get assessed, then.

Are you having trouble with your job now?

If you've kept your job for at least a few years, then I would say you're probably not too pathological.

Many people aren't "social butterflies." There are many people without autism who are just quiet people, and who don't make many friends.

Autism is not a "psychological disease." It is a "developmental disorder."

I know it's not psychological disease, but as I'm not very good at English that was the only thing I could think of. I'm not some weirdo closed in my house. Actually have wife and two kids, some friends and and small social life, good relationship with my family but struggle to keep all that alive. Also have same job for 10 years but not in the same company (4 so far). Thanks for quick and kind responses.

As long as you can support your family without too much stress, then I would just "leave it alone," and live your life.

I would continue to read about autism, and to "hang out" with autistic people online---or maybe even in person. But I wouldn't obsess over it too much.

You may be autistic; you may not be autistic----but whether you are autistic or not probably wouldn't make too much of a difference.
