Hello everyone o/
My name is Tommy and I'm 23years old. I stumbled upon this site in search for more information about AS. So happy I did. Been reading a lot here and thought I'd finally register and say hello.
I've suspected for a few years that I have AS, but because of an emotional event 7 years ago (I lost 6 years due to depression -she destroyed me for saving her life, long story) I thought my issues could have been due to the trauma if I may call it that. I didn't really think much about the time before that.
Last months my life has been improving a lot, confidence is back, will to do stuff and I got back to school to finish it (with adult schooling). However recently I liked a girl who I thought liked me, so I engaged in random chat about school and such. But now for some reason she's terrified of me, and I have no idea why (-well, I think she gave signs that she didn't want me to talk to her, but I must have not seen it, she freaked out "why are you always following me. I was so confused..). So I've been thinking a lot, and I mean a lot and have come to the conclusion trough heavy research I'm definitely an AS. That and I went to a psychiatrist who laid my case to a team of specialist who agreed I show definite symptoms and I should get myself diagnosed.
Going to call now for an appointment, because I must know it.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi and share that I'm quite happy knowing I no longer need to pretend and try to be 'normal', I can just be me and work around the difficulties. I sort of feel free now.
So yeah, hello
