new and not sure

Post Reply New Topic

I'm in my 30s and just recently started to learn that some traits I struggle with are common in Aspies.
My Aspie score is only 115 and my NT score is 98
My wife constantly has to ask me not to debate which is very difficult since I am always right and I'm sure I can convince other people of that fact as well.
I also have a hard time reading other people and apparently come off as an ass a lot, I realised this recently when talking to my buisnsss partner (a good friend) about our employees having a hard time with my "disputatiousness". What I see as "explaining" others see as argueing and they rend to get offended where I rarely do.

I don't have the typical social anxiety possibly because I grew up in a large family, my parents believed learning to deal with my ADD was better then masking the symptoms with drugs. I was homeschooled meaning my "peers" were siblings and adults Instead of other kids my age who would find me different.

I was also blessed to grow up in a loving home with a foundation in Christ and so I never feel alone.
Other then paying my hard earned cash to a licensed drug dealer are there any other tips to hone in on exactly what is different about me?

Hello and welcome

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Lol, this is me as well (but without the wife).

You can always try asking your friends for an honest take on what they think is different about you compared with other people. Or you can ask your enemies ... debating certainly helps with that. Or else if you want professional advice, you can see a counsellor or psychologist (neither gives out drugs, just advice).

In any case, welcome to WP.
