Hi, my names Emma. I've been browsing this site for friggin' ages (like a year or more) but only just registered. Not entirely sure why I chose now to join up... anyway...

The whole reason I found this site in the first place is to do with my boyfriend. We were actually internet friends for quite a while and I knew he's autistic. Then Febuary last year (2006) we met up and instantly connected - by the end of the trip we were a definite item. It's difficult because it's long distance but we're managing.

Anyway, since I was now dating him, I figured I'd come find out about this whole autism thing, which is how I found this site. It was when looking into autism that I started to wonder about myself a bit. I was always quite shy and "different". I started to see similarities in my actions and thoughts to people on this site and to my boyfriend. I really can't think of examples at the moment - I'm really bad at recalling memories exactly when I need them. Trust me, tomorrow I'll be sitting on the bus when suddenly one will pop into my head.

So, I'm not sure whether I have Aspergers or not. Whether my suspicions are just some sort of unconscious desire to be like my boyfriend or if there really is something behind it.

Hey.
You've got that thing that I do where I cynically analyse all of my thoughts, haven't you?

I would say you were at least a bit autistic

Hi Emma,
Welcome to WP

Have you ever taken a quiz to see if you may have aspergers? If you haven't then here is one... http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

It is not a diagnosis but if you want to find out if you might have it then taking the quiz should give you a better idea of all of this.

Thanks, Brittany.

That was a loooong quiz. Apparently my aspie score is 120 out 200 and my NT is 79 out of 200. So, I'm likely to be aspie.

Yay, do I get some sort of initiation?

Maybe, but not by Tim.
