Hi all,
I don't know if I have Asperger's or not, but it seems to match me in a lot of areas.
I read Tony Attwood's "The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome" a few years ago and wrote my own report based on me and my findings. I have about half or a little over half of the signs. Most notably are my professional and odd use of speech, and my poor social skills. However, I don't seem to have an obsession.
I ignored the fact that I may have it for a couple years, but then I seemed drawn to this again, and I just recently read "Asperger's from the Inside Out" by Michael John Carley.
Whether I have it or not, something is wrong.
I say to myself that I want meaningful connections with other people in my life, but it could also be argued that if I really did want it, I would have it by now.
I flip back and forth being feeling energized that I can make changes to produce the results that I want in my life, and then I rarely do anything about it, and I just lay in bed, spending the majority of my time doing nothing.
That is what I have done in the past, and I don't want this to continue. I'm tired of feeling so lonely. I'm going to try to learn, try to do better, even if I don't know how yet.
I suppose I'm posting because I want to connect with other like minded people, to connect with at least someone to start. And to use it to begin to connecting with others in the real world.
