Does my Ex girlfriend sound aspergers?
Hi everyone, I've recently broken up with my girlfriend, she is now ignoring me, and won't respond to my messages. Throughout most of our relationship I sensed something wasn't quite right with her. Rather than type out a long drawn out thread, I'm putting the following things that makes me think she COULD have Asperger's, or COULD be narcissism. I would appreciate your thoughts please.
Very intelligent, retains information very well.
When I went to visit her, she once said in the early stages of our relationship "I might not talk to you when you are back home." Which I found a strange thing to say.
Regarding expressing words of affection, she said ("You will have difficulty with me then")
She doesn't like been asked the question "what are you doing today?"
Secretive. I.e.. She wouldn't tell me why she hides her online status on a particular social network and Skype.
Told me "I find it hard to express my feelings"
Told me "I know I can be rude and blunt"
Moody
Asked me "Are you sure you want to be with this difficult girl?"
She gets very irritable.
Told me "I don't know how to love, I don't even know what love is"
She once played a game with friends when you all take it in turns to say things about yourself, she thought it was strange. She said that she is very private.
Told me she doesn't miss people.
Her brother told me that during the night her mum was worried I might be cold in bed, this was once, when I was staying over, and that my ex got offended over this. (I'm not sure why, but maybe it was because I was getting attention and she wasn't)
She was teaching me another language but she was harsh/disrespectful and made fun of me during these lessons, even though I was paying her to teach me.
When once I was concerned about another man that I knew liked her she said "would you fight for me?" Like she was making a joke out of it.
Her brother said she "is very sensitive"
Once I noticed an issue had arisen and I asked her brother what was up with her, he replied " (her name) thinks she is the best"
She likes to have photo shoots done of her and post these photos of herself on her social networking sites.
She said "by the time I'm 30 I want to be very beautiful"
She once said "you should be pleased other men find your girlfriend attractive" how this was meant I don't know.
Once said "why do you keep reminding me I'm nothing"
I replied "when have I ever said you are nothing" she replied "many times" I had never said she was nothing.
Intolerant.
Says she hates questions.
Says she doesn't like small talk.
Her feelings for me seemed strong at first then faded. She told me this has happened to her in other relationships.
She would find it tiring if I pursued an issue with her.
She gets offended easily.
Her brother told me she has very high expectations.
Sometimes I would ask her a normal type of question, could be about anything, and it seemed like it was an effort to answer it.
She would often find things strange that were quite normal.
Doesn't seem to easily forgive.
1: Absolutely she sounds Asperger's.
2: Why did you break up with her and then continue to contact her?
3: Would you consider recommending this site to her? Even if she doesn't respond, at least she will have more resources at her fingertips. A person like her will definitely crave information and validation, especially if she finds out there are a thousand people on here who are just like she is.
The characteristics you describe don't really scream 'HFA' to me. There are some things that are symptoms of autism, but they do not dominate what you describe. There seem to be other personality issues here as well.
So for me I would say I am not sure about autism (possible) but am sure at least one other thing is going on. I can't speak to the other thing or things as autism and the co-morbid anxiety are the only conditions I know to any degree.
