Angnix,
This won't really "prove" anything one way or the other, but this is how I self-diagnosed:

However, IMO, if you think you're an Aspie, you're probably right, so "unofficial" or not, welcome aboard! |

| I identify a lot. I spent most of my life feeling like there was no one else like me anywhere, that I would always be alone. Now, I know that there are many others with very similar experiences. I was never one for really wanting to "belong" anywhere, but that is still quite comforting. It's also re... |

| Just think about the violent history of humanity and then consider the fact that our genetic makeup hasn’t really changed. The desire to fit in is so strong that people will suppress their personal moral judgment in order to join in group cruelty. If enough people partake in cruelty against specifi... |

| To me, it feels like being more of an "observer" than a "participant." I would always watch things (especially social situations) very closely, but rarely got involved in them. Example: I remember, when I was quite young (ages 5-10 at least), when I went to my local playground my favorite thing to d... |

| It's not really about pleasing him, as in changing yourself...but when you're with someone you care for, you might change your behavior in small ways to accommodate him. Ideally, he would do the same for you. In a perfect world, the idea would be to become better people for each other. Yeah, in a p... |

| Hi randomgirl. Welcome aboard. The fact that you want to understand your guy better rather than try to change him (or run in the other direction) speaks volumes. It's really nice to hear when someone cares enough to make that effort--that alone says that you really love him. He is one lucky guy to h... |

| Thanks for the welcomes, guys. :) eon, to answer your question, I was sent to several therapists before I was 10. None of them could figure out anything concrete. It would be interesting to get hold of my old records. I'm pretty sure that the phrase "social anxiety" was in the therapists' notes some... |

| Hello all. I have been looking at this site for several years and finally decided to join. I self-diagnosed about 6 months ago. At my graduation, one of my professors told me that he'd guessed I had Asperger's the day he met me, more than 2 years ago (someone in his family has it as well). I don't k... |
