Just wandering because I think I'd be able to fit in better there. Most aspies here don't have the mood problems, crying, breakdowns, suspiciousness and paranoia that I have. I can't seem to find anything.

You should see a professional if you want a real diagnosis. Schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders can be very similar for some, and you may not be getting the help you need if you have something off the spectrum.

Don't they have bipolar traits like being "two-faced"?

That site looks interesting. I kind of want to hang out there even though I don't consider AS to be a mental illness . . .

You're wrong about that Trident_Infinity. I certainly DO have mood swings, though not on any predictable basis. Look here,
even though you may not have Asperger Syndrome you DO have a mental anomaly like us :wink: . While different mental illness have different issues I see us all as having common ground. Not-to-mention the fact that I know and Have know A Lot of bipolar people . In fact, I seem to encounter and attract bipolar people FAR more often than aspies IRL. Sometimes the conditions do overlap, I wonder if aspies and bipolars somehow have a strange connection.
