Post Reply New Topic

Hello, I am 13. I was reading some posts about Asperger and found that I had similar behaviours so I wanted to know if I had Asperger.

This is a list of the things I do.

- I am a normal kid with a huge interest in learning new stuff.
- I don't have real friends just a few people that I stay with
- I am not emotional and think logically.
- I have difficulty to understand feelings.
- I hate loud noises
- I like to be alone
- I like to sit in strange ways
- I don't like human contact and have difficulty understanding it
- I am very good at school
- I love maths, physics, biology and other nerdy stuff

That's all I could think of but there are much more I just wanted to know if I had Asperger or not. Thanks for your help.

Bonjour, GoogleGlass. Bienvenue à Wrong Planet.

Your described characteristics are related to Asperger's Syndrome, but you might want to compare them to the characteristics http://www.tonyattwood.com.au/index.php/about-aspergers described by Tony Attwood, Ph.D. His published characteristics are comprehensive and might help you recognize more of your own.

Bonne chance.

Since you feel like a normal kid, unless others are telling you or showing you they disagree, I'd just let that be.

Is there anything positive you'd gain by this label?

When I was younger I didn't seek a diagnosis because I thought that it wouldn't really do any good. I thought I would be the same person whether I had the label or not. But once I got older I a realized that the diagnosis did do me good, because it taught me why I am how I am, and how all of the unusual things about me are kind of interconnected in a way.

AspieUtha I went on that site (that is very good) and found that I had these "problems":

- difficulay making friends
- advance vocabulary
- fascination of advance topics(science, physics, computers...)
- sensitivity of bells and loud noises
- tendency to make literal interpretations
- remarkably honest even when it hurts others
- problems recognising embarrassment
- difficulties proceding social info
- and sometimes physical + emotional exhaustion after socializing

Otherwise Waterfalls I feel like a normal kid but some people have called me weird quite often.
wowiexist I think that a diagnosis could help and if it is positive I would accept it


Thanks for helping

I think that with all the similar characteristics I might have Asperger.

But prapse I'm wrong could you help.

I Went on some other sites to search more info and passed some test on Internet.
All the results and info told me that I had Asperger so thanks for helping me.
