Do I have Asperger's?

Post Reply New Topic

Ok, after thinking about this for a while and talking with my mom about it I'm pretty sure I have AS. It's like I've been living my whole life with a blindfold on, I couldn't see how socially inept and awkward I was, I didn't understand why I couldn't connect to people like others do, and why my brain and memories work so different than everybody else... Why I was always crappy at sports and everything that involved teamwork, my attention problems, bad reading comprehension and listening skills. The worst thing is that I used to feel so normal, sometimes even superior than other people. I guess mind-blindness is a b***h.

I'd greatly appreciate if someone could give me an example of this:

"Difficulty to see situations from another person's point of view"

Also I was wondering, could people easily tell I had AS this whole time or did I just come off as awkward and socially anxious? nobody ever said anything to me... or maybe they did and I was just clueless.

Thanks everybody for your help, I will be considering talking to a therapist sooner or later, I just have to prepare myself, it won't be easy for me.
