| I can understand this small talk thing. It is a major component of the NT world. NTs judge you and befriend you based on your ability of small talk. But I have also noticed that NTs do not expect much small talk from you as they expect you to LISTEN to their own small talk. So, even if you cannot p... |

| I'm still figuring out myself and the world around me. I personally think that is a never ending story and also what makes life interesting. For me there are two very distinct periods where a lot of internal modifications took place in myself and one of them is indeed my late 20's/early 30's like mo... |

| Good tip! Thanks. I just thought of it. This ignoring routine might have been on going for years but maybe I didn't notice. Over the years I think my social skills have improved and that I'm now able to detect more of these subtle clues. The main problem still is that I feel lost in larger groups. O... |

The cartoons are spot on. Especially the company, crowd, crowded and "GET ME OUTA HERE!" cartoon describes it very well for me  |

| I just did the test and scored a 3. :roll: From the OP, I don't think you're a narcissist. The fact that you are very much aware of your own actions and don't like them and the fact that you like to introspect are the obvious clues here I think. It might be a cloaking or coping mechanism to hide fro... |

| That sounds very complex. As a first step you could try to get a diagnosis yourself. Then you know it about yourself whether you have Aspergers or another form of autism or not. My parents were reluctant when I got my diagnosis of Aspergers. In fact both my parents had to fill in a few forms about m... |

| I can't seem to get my head around this issue, hence this topic. ( Hope it is not TL;DR ) Since the age of 8 or 9 I basically know I'm different. I was, and sometimes still am, clumsy. I absolutely hate social interactions in larger groups and I hate things I am supposed to do because they are "... |

| I had my Asperger diagnosis in 2011. Both my parents had to fill out an extensive form about my childhood, how I was as a baby, at school etc. Interesting thing is that from my parents point of view nothing is or was ever wrong with me. In the interviews I had with the psychologist I brought this up... |
