Presenting myself, and a bit of me.

Post Reply New Topic

Hey;

I have not been diagnosed with AS, but I have my suspicious that I do have it. I do have social phobia, OCD and high anxiety as a professional diagnostic. I'm a 24 years old male

A bit of my background history, it might help people understand me a little bit.

I was diagnosed as hyperactive when I was but a toddler, couldn't sleep more than 2 to 3 hours for more than a year, and I even got an MRI to check if everything was right in this big head of mine.
Fast forwarding a bit, my early school days was plagued by being bullied until the later years in highschool, the uni has a bit of bullying but not much. I never liked going school even when I was already familiar with the place, but it was the anxiety of a new situation that crippled me. In fact anything new makes me anxious, to the point of me replaying scenarios after scenarios on how the things might go, who to face and what to say, even more so when it is 1 month bvefore the event. in 2005 I got such a crippling attack that I was shacking, couldn't sleep and sometimes, when I did it was in odd times, all this because I had to go to a enormous place to do a simple exam. I started to take paroxetine to aliviatte the problems, it has helped a bit, I can now walk and go to places that I'm familiar with without having much problems or needing someone I know to help me out. I can talk a bit with strangers, although it takes effort and I keep playing the damn situation on my head like crazy.

I'm also an Involuntary Celibate, yeah..it is that bad so bad that I never kissed and never held hands with a girl before!

Beyond that, I dont like to go out with friends and i hate the idea of even going to the other street(I live close to some commerce) to buy something(I even need to think what to do and then later reply what happened and obesess about it)

I also have an unhealthy obession about planes, trains, trucks, buses, boats, computers, religion and star trek. Although star trek started to have more effect recently, so much that I've spent enough time investigating recent technology advances to see that we are closer to a Trek like future, but still a bit far away. When kid I was OBSESSED with dinousaurs, I mean...so much that I even wanted to marry one

I seem to have a stupid need to obtain anything star trek recently, and pc games. I also seem to obsess in tiny details, so much that I have been told tthat I obsess on it waaaaayyy tooo much!

I only pay attention on subject that I like in uni and when I used to go to school, so much that I even forget the enviorenment around me, its like everything else just disappears, but when I'm interrupted I get upset. Sometimes Angry when interrupted multiple times.

I remember that I've spent 7 hours or more on a drawing to a school coursework(2003 ish) on details and my parents bitching about that I had to go to sleep. I wanted to get the crookes and cranies of a pillar/wall of notre dame completed!


This is a summary of "me", not complete and a lot missing so I dont bore people to death(which it seems I have been doing quite a lot recently), but any questions, fire away!


PS: I'm more of a reader than a poster.

PPS: Few things I forgot to add, I have synaesthesia(The one in which numbers, time and dates occupy a space) and I dont have many friends(although with paroxetine it has helped me overcome a bit and get talking)I'm socially inept to cumbersome! (broek my left arm twice, and I seem to have always a scratch or bumping into things)

Hi there, from a borderline Asperger girl, who has never been kissed. (Half voluntarily, half un.)
You will find a lot of people here (myself included) who will understand your anxieties.

Make yourself comfortable. I'm another mostly-reader rather then poster, but feel free to send me a private message, if you feel so inclined.

Hi. Welcome to WP. I just got here myself, but it looks like a lot of support can be found here if you are looking for it.

Well, hey, sometimes the obvious needs to be said

True!
If "normal" people won't date a dorky geek with lots of nerdiness on the mix; then the solution is, to find another dorky geek with lots of nerdiness on the mix




Holden;

Thank you!
