| I definitely do things that are repetitive that I have to do.. like washing my hands MANY times a day because I don't like the feeling to be different if I get anything on them etc but I don't think I have OCD and as others have said the repetitive routines and behavior are likely more symptoms of AS. |

| I used to have a problem with this where I would debate something until it was clear in my head or until we came to some sort of resolution. I could never let things go and I could especially not let it go if it was a case of 'agree to disagree'. This would obviously annoy many people - in my head I... |

| Thanks - I've put the appointment off for a couple of weeks as I have a few things to do tomorrow that the stress of the appointment was putting strain on. I've decided that I'll definitely go or this will eat at me forever. I'd be happy if they said that I had aspergers but did not want to pursue a... |

| I've had people randomly crying in front of me about their problems and me feeling nothing. Not that I want to feel nothing emotionally for them, I do see why they are in a bad situation etc and can offer advice but it just doesn't make me feel anything. I have also been told I am very unsympathetic... |

| Hmm you make a good point MrMeaty thank you for sharing that, It does make me think about why would I want to carry a label that can potentially affect me negatively if there is no real need for it.

So now I try not to talk about something if I find ... |

| Oh sorry I thought you had already paid her, Well go in with a number you think it is worth, it probably wouldn't even cost much to fix if it is just a dent. If she asks for more then just tell her you can't afford it and will have to go through the insurance to sort it out. If you tell her this she... |
