It took a dog bite to find out I'm an aspie!

Greetings!

Here's my strange but true story!

I was out walking Monday evening, 4 small/medium dogs escaped their home, jumped on me, one tore my jeans, another bit me, (I'm ok though). Mom asked if I wanted to go to the police station , I ask if we could go the day after instead, I didn't want this to ruin the rest of my day, asked if we could go the day after, and so we did.

The person working there (dispatcher maybe?) asked why we waited until that day to make the report, I told her I just wasn't in the mood, didn't want to deal with it.. and my mom explained to her that I was Autistic... that was news to me!

So later that day I was walking with my mom, and asked "I never knew I was autistic", and told me I had a form of it called Aspergers. she was as surprised that I didn't know as I was to find out. I had heard of it, and but didn't really think it pertained to me for some reason, I figured I just had social anxiety (which there still could be). but the deeper I looked into it, (like being alone, , insomniac, no eye contact, clumsiness/lack of coordination, and other weird sensory things, Aspergers did sound like me.


so yeah there you have it. I'm more relieved to know more than anything. I'm not really ashamed of it, I'm just glad to know this about me.

Welcome to Wrong Planet. I'm glad you weren't badly hurt by those dogs.

Couldn't have scripted that one I guess
