Hi
I don't know if I should be here, I don't have a diagnose and I don't trust self-diagnosis. I found this forum while searching about aspergers because a friend told me that he thinks I have it, he is one of few people who know me well. I start thinking about it because a couple of years ago I took an internet quiz (which I also know isn't a good source for diagnose) and I got a high score for aspergers.
I'm planning to go to a psychiatrist/psychologist, actually during most of my school years I got recommendations to do so because I was somewhat problematic, but my parents had something against it so I didn't had access. Now I'm trying to put my life in order and then seek for help. I may not be an aspie, but I feel there's something different with me. Different in a way it disturbs me to function "normally" and also makes difficult to communicate and connect to people.
I hope I'm still welcome here.
I don't know to write about myself, this is actually one of the reasons I postponed creating an account, making an introduction topic is frightening for me. I'm shy and I have some difficult with self-image, I feel if I say something about myself I'm lying – don't know how to explain this feeling very well. Also, english isn't my first language, but I hope you can understand me well. Although sometimes I can't make myself understandable even in portuguese, my first language.
Here is just some random facts about me: I study architecture at the university, although I'm not sure if it's a good choice. I live in Brazil, I lived in different cities inside the country, now I'm living in a small city in the southeast part, and I had already lived one year in Hungary. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs, I used to have a 4th cat but he died some months ago. I like to cook. I used to read a lot, but as things started to get more confused in my life I stoped reading, now I'm trying to build the habit again but it's difficult.
I don't know more what to say, I'm sorry. Bye.
