Dear Eamonn,
Yes, I agree it can be hard when you feel like you don't do things well. Even N.T.'s are that way!! Many of my friends will say, you are so hard on yourself. I agree I am but just can't help it!! And I follow your line of thinking that it's hard to say.. be who you are. I think that's hilarious! It's such a cliche! As if it's some defined thing, "Who You Are". It's not in my humble opinion.

Getting back on the topic, as for wanting to be an AS or an N.T. I wouldn't stress on thinking, I must be more of an Aspie or less of an N.T. Just do the things you enjoy and seek them out. Don't worry about whether they fall under NT Or AS categories.

I first learned about sarcasm from the sarcastic tone of voice on television shows. As a child, my family rarely used sarcasm among each other. I have a pretty dry sense of humor sometimes, and I like to use serious inflection and facial expressions when I'm saying something completely absurd for ironic effect. I expect the other person to understand it by realizing the absurdity of what I'm saying. They'd just have to think I'm either joking or am insane.

.... I just had a 'Diagnosis', paid $400 for it and I am still uncertain as to the outcome. The Psychologist (he has a reputation of being the local authority on Aspergers and was highly recommended), after 2 hours of 'chatting' made the observation that I was 'Eccentric', 'may' have had some strains of Aspergers as a Child, and that perhaps 'I think too much'. He made Statements such as "Aspies almost never get married' (Crap) and 'Aspies almost never leave home' (Crap again). I really don't believe he could differentiate between someone who is 75% Aspie to someone who is 95%,

if we are all so f*****g anti-social why do we keep coming to this site to TALK TTO PEOPLE???


Im confused...and scared,and a little bit aroused

I used to refer to that kind of thing as "A bunch of people getting together in a group to argue over which one is more of a loner."

I think calling us anti-social is incorrect. We do not socialize in the way that society views as normal but that does not mean we do not socialize. This kind of statement is what happens when the human mind tries to cope with things by catorgizing them into a limited knowledge base. Humans are way too complex for any set of standards or words to encompass everything about them.

I think it should not be anti-social but that we socialize differently than the ones who managed to be in a position to "make the rules".

Exactly! It always baffles me how I can go from being shy and timid and having low self esteem, to being arogant and aloof and thinking I am better than everyone without any time spent in between.
This is how people percieve me, I mean. They just don't really have a category to describe me accurately.
