Hi, I am 18 years old and undiagnosed. All my life I have had problems making friends, and never knew why until I started becoming friends more with people who have Aspergers. We seem to get along better than the "other people." I have a lot of symptoms that relate to Aspergers. I have no idea if there is a degree or level to it though. All my life my mom has never really noticed it since I guess I'm an only child and she was just used to it? I had to talk to her about the way I think and feel about things and it caused us to wonder well maybe I have Aspergers. I am getting tested soon though so i can know for sure. However things I already know i have is ADHD, and OCD.

The most recent thing I can think of that signified I may have Aspergers is my friends seeming to grow up while I am stuck in this phase. I seem to be stuck in time or in my youth if you know what I mean. When I noticed changes in them I confronted them about it. Everyone of them knew they have changed and gotten over it, but I never did. I couldn't grasp the idea of maturing. If you were to meet me, I would seem like a regular human being I suppose, but there are a lot of things I do that people look at me funny for. Let me put it this way: When I do something it seems normal to me, but others look at me as why did you say, think, and/or do that? You know?

I remember being at a friends house one time and I had something happen I don't remember what it was, all I remember was being called retarded. Which I know I am not at all.

I hope maybe giving this description can give others a chance to relate to me and maybe signify similarities that can determine more whether or not I have it.
