| I've been acknowledging that for the past 20 years (since I was about 20) I've had certain thoughts about gender dysphoria that I am seriously considering transition as an MtF transgender. However the thing that bothers me, is that I have an informal diagnosis, a pre-assessment, as having all the si... |

| Over the years, I've accepted by heterosexuality and masculinity. I am a straight male. Or so I think. At the start of the year, I decided to re-examine my life in the context of understanding that I may be on the spectrum somewhere -not yet 100% confirmed, but more than likely. Over the years, I've... |

| I can't figure myself out. Im trying to make sense of hugging from an Aspie perspective if that is indeed truly me. If I am Aspie, then my reaction to touch doesn't make sense. I like holding hands, I like being touched, I like hugs. I want to initiate more, I want to hold hands, I want to touch, I ... |

| I have this lovely friend who is inconsistent as hell and I can't read her. If you send her a text, literally one minute she might reply straight away, next time it might be a few hours, next time a few days, next time, no reply at all. She says "Im busy", but she's not too busy to read th... |

| So one thing Im confused about and one of the things why Im convinced I can't have aspergers, is the fact I don't take things literally. Watching my favourite film, there are the phrases like Greeter: "How do you do?" Aspie: "How do you do what?" Greeter: "Put the kettle on&... |

| Oh good god yes. I get this so much. I don't know why. When I try to be a friend, it's like something goes off in their brains and they back away. When I stop trying to be a friend, they warm up and start hanging around. It shouldn't be this difficult. The friends I have though, the good, longstandi... |

| You're really focusing on the computers. Forget the computers. It's not the computers. My relative suggests that Im socially awkward because Im a hermit and lack experience.

| Ok, but if we look at Social Isolation or Activity - whether that be computers, books, whatever.... Do people get involved in socially isolating activity because they're not very good socially, or do they get involved in activities and become socially isolated because of it. I guess what Im saying, ... |

| Talking to a relative about my possible diagnosis, they say it can't possibly be Aspergers because people with Aspergers have problems reading emotion like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory but 100 times worse, and as they say Im not like this, then that cannot be me. Then they go into how Im socially aw... |

| I don't find I get that problem I must admit. Once I have my recipe, I find out all I need - times before I might have made a tick list, actually no, I still do. I put a list on my phone! Forgot about that. But I find my recipe, list everything I need. Tick off everything I've got, go off and buy ju... |

Someone gives me a recipe, I cook it fine no problem. That doesn't seem to be asperger type behaviour from what I understand from the re... |

| Since my "pre-assessment", I still don't see myself as Aspergers. Why did they say I was? When I speak to people, they turn around and say "we suspected but didn't want to say anything" or "makes sense". How can I have it? Am I a good actor? My current doubts, I read ab... |
