| Heya, All I can say is WOW. It is always best to see a doctor and have him perform tests, however, I would print this off and show it to them. I find it hard in recent times to articulate my life and how I have perceived the World growing up but you have ripped out the story of my life pretty much. ... |

| Hi dude, I think it may be a trait. I feel it in any chit chat situation with more than one person. I feel it going down the street but thats because of my cannabis use, which I'm doing something about among other things (long story).

| baatar I know exactly what you mean! :) And bumble yes it does answer my question, very much so. If you are looking for a diagnosis I would say you have aspergers. A diagnosis is never fact, but I would argue in the face of any doctor after reading your explanations. good luck to you xx Daniel |

agreed but theres loads of boxes I wouldn't tick for the Forrest Gump character. Just my opinion of a fictional character.

Duston Hoffman plays a good Autistic representation (although the real life Rainman's abilities are quite rare in cases of Autism), and Sheldon plays a good Aspergers representation.
However, Forest Gump?? he's just a little slow  |
