I have been dating this guy for three years. We only see each other about three times a month, he is working on his Nursing Degree so lives in a different state.

Part of me feels he needs to know that I believe I have Aspergers, it seems to be a habit of mine to just stop talking to people out of the blue and I don't want that to happen with him, I want him to understand why I am the way I am sometimes. Which happen to be some of the qualities he says he loves in me.

On the other hand I feel like he will dis-miss my feelings, because he took some psychology courses and the teacher put it in the students heads that almost everyone presents signs of Aspergers. I casually mentioned Aspergers not long ago because of my son, and he brought up his teacher saying that.

The other part of me wants to wait till I have an official diagnosis, but that could be months away because of the waiting list. I've taken numerous online tests, which all point to yes. Even the AspieQuiz on Rdos.net..

Your neurodiverse score: 135 of 200
Your neurotypical score: 77 of 200


What do you think? Should I wait, should I tell him?
What would you do?
