Hello, I'm new, I'm 22 male and attending university in montreal at the moment. My shrinks diagnosed me with nvld a while back and they're pretty sure I have aspergers...I guess when a lot of people think about aspergers, they figure someone like the rainman who's really good with numbers..I can't do math worth a s**t. I did those tests and my math is in the 45th percentile and my reading composites in the 99th percentile...My overall I.Q. is a dead average.

I also have severe narcissistic and obsessive personality traits that make it hard to even connect with other aspergers like people...and so I can I've never had any kind of close relationship in my life..besides my mom.

anyways, here are things that I like:
band:shellac
author:celine
movie:spinal tap

...it's really nice to meet you guys,
nick

Hi. I've always wondered if it is possible to overcome? work around? narcissism.

Welcome! I was born in Montréal (Mascouche) and now live in Kingston, Ontario, after quite a few moves all over Canada (Québec, NWT, Québec again, Ontario).

Hope you find some good info and maybe make a few friends on here!

I have begun to wonder whether it even always is.

Welcome to WP, Nick! Nice to see a fellow Canadian on here.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
