New to all of this... might be partially aspie but not sure

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I'm Garrett and I'm a 27-year-old guy. My mom told me last week that after pondering it for about 2.5 years, she finally decided she should tell me that she suspects I may have some traits of Asperger's and that I should look into it for myself. So over the past few days, I've been doing just that, and I've compiled a list of various traits and online quiz results that show what aspie traits I do and don't have.

Please feel free to look over what I've put together and share any thoughts or insights you may have. I'm always looking for more/better answers to questions I've had about myself -- such as, is it worth pursuing a diagnosis with my limited set of symptoms, or not?

I'm glad that this community exists, and hopefully I can contribute to it in some way. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

Hello Garrett

Welcome. Hopefully you can get good input.

Hey Garrett welcome.

Welcome!

Hi Garrett, welcome to Wrong Planet. From the information you provide, you seem to have some traits. But online quizzes only go so far, and no one here can give you more than friendly advice - so the only way you'll get a definite answer is to be diagnosed by a qualified psychologist. It's a big step, I know (I did it recently myself), but I suggest you give it serious consideration.
