| I don't really remember what kind of kid I was in school. I wonder why that is. I remember teachers seemed to like me (one of my primary school teachers who lived in the same village as me would introduce me as her "favourite pupil" to people years after I went to secondary school). I remember havin... |

3 years ago you did not want to be friends with him, but now you do.
Do you think that's odd?

| I have no idea. I don't know what being a man feels like. But then I don't know what being a woman feels like with any certainty. I only know what being me feels like. I don't fit a typical female stereotype. I probably fit typical male stereotype better - in both dress and interests. I am female an... |

| This is probably why I don't do groups. I have a few friends that I meet with one on one (or very occasionally 2 at a time if we are going to the cinema or somewhere where I don't have to interact much). I think they have larger friendship groups too, but I am not part of that. And that's OK because... |

| There are some songs I can understand, but others I find completely obscure and incomprehensible. As an example, here's the lyrics for a song called The Flood: I understand individual lines when taken separately, but the meaning as a whole escapes me. The flood is probably a metaphor for something,... |

| I have all sorts of weird walks, all depending on what's going on in my head. If I'm walking for exercise it's all about "perfect form". If I'm feeling a strong positive emotion it might be bouncy. I walk all schlumpy if I'm thinking really hard about something (I'll bump into walls when in this mo... |

| Not yet comfortable enough here to show my eyes... maybe soon. People often tell me I look "doubtful" or "dazed" even when I honestly don't feel that way... I have always thought this is all in the eyes. Also - when I look in the mirror my face doesn't look like mine - if I look at bits of it in iso... |

| Thanks j0sh and Yensid - especially the helpful advice to reorder the list slightly. I am prepared for my GP to know nothing, but at the same time I need to show her enough that she will agree to refer me to a specialist assessment centre. The National Autistic Society have given me details of what ... |

| Thank you mv, that is helpful. I am in the UK - and I don't want any access to anything. I just want to know - one way or the other. I am almost certain - this is not a spur of the moment thought, I've been considering this as a possibility for several years on and off. And generally I would be happ... |

| OK, I'm new here (though have been reading for several months) and this is another one of those "Do I have an ASD?" type posts. Sorry. I wrote the stuff below to take to my GP to ask for a possible referral for assessment (I know it will take forever). But I am as anxious as heck that if I show her ... |
