Could this be Aspegers?

Post Reply New Topic

I know you cannot recieve and accurate diagnosis online, but I want to hear your guys input. I am 14, and I know there's something wrong with me. Whether its Social anxiety, Aspegers, or both. I do have severe purely obsessional OCD btw. First off, I can talk to my parents just fin e,
And have the most normal conversation, everything flows well, and I seem perfecly fine. Im introverted so I don't particularly enjoy hanging out with friends, but I did have many friends in the past. I can act very normal around my friends. But that's just my friends and parents, I CANNOT talk to my relatives, or strangers.whenever my relatives try to talk to me I freeze up and stutter and say something stupid. I'm really tense when I talk to them. And I end up just saying "yeah" "haha" etc.. So I CAN socialize fine with SOME people, but everyone else I can't.

I also used to have very strong interests. (Kind of died down by now) I was obsessed with maps, weather, and countries. I wasn't particularly "Very obsessed" (like only thing I talk about), but whenever I had free time I check the weather because I'm interested in it (still do). But my strong obsessions are gone now. I also hand an "imaginary land" that I would daydream about all the time.

I also can understand what other people are feeling, which people with aspergers say they can't.

Again I'm very introverted and I enjoy being by myself, not 24/7, but a lot of
The time I do. I also used to be scared of loud noises and I still am (not as much). I used to cry whenever someone scored a goal at a hockey game because the noise would scare me( when i was really young)Now I really don't care for loud noises, but whenever my m starts the vacuum I get really annoyed and leave the room. I'm just sensitive to hearing I guess.

I also have TONS of anxiety issues. I'm scared to talk because I think I'll say something stupid, and made fun of. I have to force myself to talk with people. I know what to say to them, I'm just scared too.

I also get frustrated easily.
Thanks for reading guys, is of Aspegers? Social anxiety disorder? Or just my ocd making me think I'm an aspie? Appreciate the feedback

brief test based on the criteria docs use to diagnose Asperger's:
www.iautistic.com/test_AS.php

Also when I said "I had many friend in the past", I just moved so i don't have any Frieda yet where I live, I didn't lose my friends.

Sounds like maybe social anxiety with just a touch of autistic tendencies, but I am no authority!
Have you taken the Aspie Quiz and the EQ and AQ tests online ? They are not a diagnosis, but will give you a better idea.
Also, your profile says you have diagnosed Asperger's, you may want to revise this if necessary.
And Welcome!

It works for me, the link does.
