Hello my name is Marc I am almost 100% certain that I have Aspergers syndrom because all of the information which I have studied on the internet combined with observations by friends and family very much indicate that this diagnosis is correct. I am 55 years old so therefore I have found out about this much later in life than many other people. When I was a child and teenager there was very little known about Aspergers syndrom and autism but now there is much more understanding about this.
I have had some aspects of my personal behavior and general psycology which caused myself peoblems in my life with other people in both personal and socail situations. Here are some examples of what I mean. First, Even when I was just 2 or 3 years old I have been extremly sensitive to noise and I still am this I found out is true for many people with Aspergers. Secondly I have done many many socially inapropriate and even imbacilic things in social interactions and relationships with other people. Third, many times but not always I am not able to tell to what degree a person is angry at me so even sleight anger I can interpit as hatred. Fourth, many times but not always throughout my life I have have not been able to understand except in the most superficial ways human motivations and behavior this caused me many troubles in my life.
Fifth, I have had through out my life also immature behavior where even now I will act like a child of 7or 10 years old when I am under psycological stress.
I was suicidal when I was 12 years old so therefore my parents sent me to a psychiatrist.
Psychiatrist have caused me much harm and suffering and I am not a fan of the Psychiateric profession. I am still suffering now from the harm which they caused me.
I have many interests Computer 3D Art, science, literature, making fractals, listening to shortwave radio etc. I want to learn more about Aspergers and if other people have gone to similar as mine.

Hi! Welcome to Wrongplanet!

It is a shock to me why AS wasn't even discovered until a few years ago. I wonder why we have come to the conclusion that Albert Einstein had it.

Yes, we, as people with AS, can be unintentionally rude to other people. That's because we don't always grasp social skills.

I think you will fit in here with us perfectly. I hope you enjoy posting here!
