| I want to get tested, but not for services, I want to finally know for sure why I am so different. Like others have said, it provides closure. Before I found out about this I was really getting to the point where I literally hated myself, and now I know that there is a reason I am the way I am, and ... |

| I am not a parent, but I do a lot of work with kids, and I hope to be one day. I have actually always found interacting with kids WAY easier than anyone else. Especially kids around age 5 or 6. It just seems natural to me unlike talking with my peers. And I can usually get them to warm up to me pret... |

| I get those, "am I faking it" feelings all the time too. I just have to look back and remember that who I am right now is not who I used to be when I was younger. I've gotten a lot better at handling things as I've gotten older. But also, I look back at my childhood and teen years, and I remember al... |

| I think that sounds like the same thing I experience, it feels like I am not real, or dreaming, or something. It's very odd...I've read in a couple different places that it's commonly part of aspergers/autism, but NTs can be affected too (it just happens to be more common in people who are AS/AUT) I... |

| I've been trying to figure out the same thing. I was diagnosed with Tourettes when I was really little, but Aspergers runs in the family too. From what I gather, tics are something that you feel like you HAVE to do. And trying not too will just make them worse later. They are very unpleasant, I don'... |
