Hi,

My names Kate, and i think, i may have aspergers.

Its become alittle more apparent more recently, as my emotions and personality are so much more different to my friends who are of the same age as me (26years old) i dont feel as mature.
I have always felt different to everyone else, ever since i was young girl. When i was at school, my teachers used to think i was a day dreamer (its even wrote on one of my old school reports). i had a very weird obsession, its very embarrasing, but i used to have a fascination, with animal skulls and i used to collect them lol! (they were already died mind, and i did live in the countryside!! !) I was obsessed with the weather, (i still am) had to watch it everyday especially in the winter as i was also obsessed with snow. I could never concentrate at school, very easily distracted, forgetfull. I was suspended from school and i had quite alot of problems, throughout my teenage years.
Now at 26, I find it very hard in social situations, i constantly feel awkward to keep a conversation going (i never no what to say) and i need alot of me time. I get my words mixed up all the time, which drives me absolutly mad!! I get upset quite alot, in situations that wouldnt bother most people. My house mates are constantly reasuring me, that they are not angry or upset with me, as i find it hard to figure out body language, and i take some things literally. I am now obsessed with music, i eat, sleep and breath it!! Most of my circle of friends have a interest in it also, so at least they dont get board of me, as most of my topic of conversation is about that, which can be quite hard in work, or speaking to somebody who has absoluty no interest. I get depressed quite alot, sometimes for no reason. oh yeah im the most clumsiest person, youll ever meet, hence the nickname stumbelina!! !

I looked it up on the internet a while ago, googled some of the stuff that i do, and aspergers came up, so i really read up about it, and it all sounds so familier, what do you think?

theres quite a few more things, but ive got to go now.

Hi Kate, welcome to WP.
I can't tell you whether or not you have AS, but I can tell you that I also used to have an obsession with weather.
