Am i an aspie?

Post Reply New Topic

I always knew that there was something off with me and in the beging of this years i started looking for an explanation, mainly on web but i read some magazines and watched some documentaries too. I really identify myself with Asperger's but i haven't recieved the diagnostic yet even because i don't want to pay an psychiatrist to do so.
I don't really get along with people, i fell really unconfortable in parties( that's why i don't even go to parties), i have some few people who i talk to every day ( i just talk to them because i spend my whole day aroud them university) and not even near them i fell comfortable. I just fell confortable when i'm at home doing what so ever( normally studyng about linguistics ).
I really match some symptoms like sensitivity to sound ( i hate when i'm doing something at home and the phone rings, that noise really anoys me and having to stop what i'm doing to answer it anoys me even more). I see things very logicly and sometimes i don't get some jokes but usually i get them. I don't like looking people in the eyes. I don't like it when people start making personal questions. I do not depend on routine but i really enjoy it.
I would enjoy if you could tell me if i actually am an aspie or if i should keep looking to know what is wrong.
PS- I'm brazilian, so sorry for any english errors.

If you consider yourself to be, then I would say yes. We can't really tell if you are or not (actually I think it might be in the rules somewhere that we aren't supposed to, so we don't get into it saying someone's really not or they're just faking for attention or something), but it sounds like you have a lot of the symptoms. Doctors can get it wrong too. I'm technically diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder even though I'm a textbook female aspie. If you feel like you meet the criteria then I would say you can consider yourself an aspie.

I didn't read the rules. Sorry for that. Now i see that my pool is completely useless since nobody can say i'm not an aspie .
Anyway, thank you for your answer. It was not what i was expecting for but it helped somehow.
