| Probably because it's normal for a lot of younger teenagers to be withdrawn and have social issues but many will flourish into social butterflies but for people with aspergers/autism it's a continuous battle and there's more factors/symptoms to deal with too. So that it's "Oh he's shy" could turn in... |

| That's a good question, I'm pretty sure I have aspergers but I'm pretty sure I have OCD too, but I don't understand how anyone with aspergers could NOT have at least OCD to a certain extent because our symptoms consist of on-going (obsessive) thoughts and unjustified paranoia around things relating... |

| I kind of enjoy it, I think it's good my topics of interest tend to be pretty interesting at least somewhat universally (Well at least I think so). I'm glad I'm not obsessed with stamp books or figurines or something. (No offense to those that are though) :lol: The downsides are I'll tend to become ... |

| Are there any downsides to this? I have been debating for awhile now. I'm pretty positive I have aspergers. Also, I'm pretty sure my mom and grandfather on her side have aspergers too because they are not very sociable either and display some traits but are not diagnosed as having it. I'm 22 and hav... |

| As unconfident as I am with my social skills I do not like people to speak for me, it actually really aggravates me when someone does because I think that they are assuming just because I am not very sociable that I am incapable of giving an answer to a question. No, my answers might be kept simplis... |

I'm just fascinated with water in general, from it being a basic essential to life, to just relaxing and watching the rain and lightning, to swimming, to ... |

| I don't really know what to tell you with what you have provided, not all people on the spectrum act the same although we have a lot of similar characteristics, just like neurotypicals. Maybe how you were dressed, how you greeted them and what kind of questions you were asked and how you responded t... |
