if i have aspergers. I only ask myself this because i came across an article about autism and aspergers. it made me wonder.. i began to wonder if i had it because of the way i was in high school.. that was about 4 years ago.. i dropped out because i didn't have any friends nor did i care to make any... well I've had a few friends but nothing special. I never really said anything to anyone else besides the people i knew and felt comfortable with. could anyone else here relate to this high school experience of mine. and i think... seriously think that if i had known i had something wrong with me then, it would have helped me reach my true potential in school rather than dropping out because i felt like a ghost walking around in the hall ways.. no one to talk to.. i tried my best to avod eye contact as well now that i think of it.. also something a little unrelated.. i would get this feeling around certain people who i felt an instant connection with. as if i already knew who they were.. maybe they were same way i am? a fellow iron man, i call it iron man because of the song by black sabbath "can he see or is he blind?" aspie sounds too silly for me.. i think im rambling. is anyone else in the same boat as me? :?:

Perhaps a good way to start your journey of discovery is to take a few of the online Asperger's tests, like the AQ test (click), Aspie Quiz (click), BAP Questionnaire (click), etc. If your results show the possibility of Asperger's, you can choose whether or not to pursue a diagnosis.

if you're in the US, i suggest you go for your GED. classes tend to be small, so at least the teacher would be paying attention to you.
