| Probably not, because there are a lot of NT girls with self-esteem and other issues in their teens. NT girls can get really obsessed about a particular boy and having his kid. NT girls have widely varying maturity in their teens too. NT kids often think they're grown up and can handle anything at 16... |

| I'm afraid of it and even thought people were treating me funny at work after it happened because no one likes me or wants to go to lunch with me and they always see me going to lunch alone, etc. Now I'm afraid to be quiet at teh bus stop for fear the people waiting will think I'm going to get viole... |

| I do have that, but feel l ike I must have AS as well. AvPD is something easy for an Aspie to develop, I think, because of social problems and rejections, etc. that seem to be common among Aspies, at least more common than among the general population. How did you stop thinking it was AvPD and star... |

| Come live where I do. No one has the slightest idear or interest in Asperger's Syndrome. My supervisor knows, but all she knows is what I have told her and we just discussed the other day she has no idea how any of 'all that' impacts my job performance. She is just grateful that I police myself and... |

| Not sure I follow everything the OP was trying to say. But his first point of us finding aspies everywhere reminded me of this: http://www.scpnet.com/paper2_2.htm Did 'Stonewall' Jackson have Asperger's Syndrome? . Yeah, that's exactly what I mean! Michael Fitzgerald is finding Aspies everywhere am... |

| I'm sorry, Dontwanttoknow, my attention span's not good today and I think I've missed the point - you say you're concerned that you're having trouble finding a good job because of your Aspergers, but then you said you can't get diagnosed? It sounds like, for your peace of mind if nothing else, it w... |

| Oh no, not another one. I'm really getting tired of this. Agreed, no diagnosing, no speculating! =) Even if he was lonely in childhood, doesn't mean he was AS. Do we know why he was lonely? Maybe he lived in an out-of-the-way place in Wales. Not everyone fits in everywhere. Exactly! He could have b... |

| I'm probably going to get kicked out of here for this, but why does everyone keep coming up with Aspies everywhere? It's like finding Commies in the 1950's or something, only it's supposed to be good. I'm getting so sick of having to think this one or that one is AS--I can't just watch a movie or TV... |

It was a very emotional episode f... |

| It's bad and I hate it. If there was anything good about it, like new ways of solving problems. But all it does is cause me social problems and make me awkward both physically & mentally. It sucks. I have none of the "good" AS traits. I even have some NT traits, usually bad ones. I don't see any... |
