Hello, Im new here. I suspect I have aspergers but I need a proper diagnosis. That possibility has been weighing heavily on me lately and everything I read on this site only confirms my suspicions. I've got a small number of friends, some of whom seem kind of autistic to me also. Eye contact fills me with panic, etc, etc.

Im a musician, and I recently realized that its the only thing Im actually good at apart from collecting trivia. I play bass guitar in a band but writing songs is my greatest passion. Music is pretty much my reason for living. I hate popular music; I find it mediocre and boring. My taste is both obscure and narrow in focus. I wish I was more eclectic but Id be lying if I said I was.

I joined this forum because I want to know if aspergers is the reason why Ive always suspected that something is wrong with me. Im looking forward to reading more, tho Im not necessarily looking forward to connecting with other members. Frankly it kind of creeps me out :wink:
