Same problem here, hello/goodbye both seem uncomfortable for me. I am ok when someone comes and says hello specifically to me, then I can usually respond all right, but I have had many uncomfortable encounters when I could not work out how to greet someone properly. Goodbye actually tends to be more...

I will add a factor not yet touched on: Do the traits that you exhibit have a clinically significant impact? In my view (and I don't pretend that this is universally held), you don't qualify for a diagnosis by merely presenting traits, the presentation of traits must be significant enough to have a...

Do you then think that the term Aspie should be used in much the same way that people use the term depressed? i.e. depression is a clinical condition that you can get a diagnosis from a doctor for, but there are different degrees, and many people would say they are depressed without going near a doc...

I don't know if it is just because I get overly depressive, or because I am used to not being able to make friends, but I really think that I have let go quite a few (potential) friendships, and possibly something more serious. As I find people never make it clear how much they like you, I tend to o...

Does anyone else get words or phrases stuck in their head? All day yesterday I had this word going round and round my head and I couldn't get it to stop. Thankfully I can't remember what it was. I'm free today, no words are stuck. I often get this with a single line from a song, which goes though m...

You could Google up the accurate online test for AS, and see what you score on that. Not sure which test you mean? I scored 39 on the AQ, and on the Aspie quiz I came out with 165 Aspie, and 33 NT. Apsie Quiz is the one she's referring too. The first time I took that quiz I got 140 and I'm diagnose...

I am a 23 year old guy, and I have been wondering for some time whether I have AS, though I don't particularly want an official diagnosis, and want to ask a few questions. I have been reading these forums quite a lot, and the more I read about experiences of Aspies, and take relevant tests, the more...
