Thinking I may have Asperger's?

Post Reply New Topic

I had posted a topic yesterday about a question on possibly being an Aspie. With that answered I thought as though I should ask and see if any of my symptoms relate to Asperger;s. I have also taken a test from RDOS and it says yes I may have a good chance of having it.

They are as follows:

-hate change or when things do not go MY way

-touching or moving my things and i don't know where they went

-i dont feel for others emotions unless i look directly into their eyes to understand what they are feeling

-i am good at socializing with the "dorky" or "super nice" crowd but anybody else intimidates me too much to even bear talking to them

-after 3 min of chit chat unless it interests me highly i seek for ways to end the conversation asap

-doing things alone to me is the better alternative than a group because I feel as if everybody just slows me down or is annoying

-being interuptted from my video games or movie that im watching can enrage or anger me highly

-peoples dramas and convos seem petty and pointless to me?

-slow uptake on some jokes

-i prefer to only talk about my interests or political issues rather than about who did what in class

-i can only focus on one thing typically

-loud noises, bright lights and people "bumping me" annoy me soo much!

-dont understand point in small talk about non life changing things

-i repeat the same thing many times and can rant and rant about topics that i love, and overtalk the other person because i know what they are probaly going to say ahead of time

-go from overconfident to super shy randomly periodicly throughout the day

-sleeping issues from racing thoughts

-very vivid, constant day dreaming at all times of the day!

-i have issues starting big time consuming things and if i do i have issues caring to finish them, particularly if they don't interest me

-i like lists of everything explaining everything when i do something or i will get off task quickly

-if i get upset i tend to go into depression for awhile even if the matter is trivial to some or just plain major!

-have terrible handwriting/understanding grammer (though i catch everybodys grammer)/aglebreic math work

These are some of the things.


If someone could please help me to determine if these look like possible symptoms I would greatly appreciate it!!

Sounds like it. I share pretty much the same 'symptoms', and writing this at 4am pretty much proves it. But the question i have for you is does it really matter? I was always labelled as a little eccentric, the strange little boy playing on his own, in his own little world. If it matters to you to get labelled, then go ahead. If it's not important then don't. It didn't change how the people who care about me act. Just be yourself, that's all that really matters.

A lot of what you mentioned sounds like me too.

Getting (self-)diagnosed helped me because it finally explained/put a name to my "weirdness." For my own sake, it helped. However, it didn't change who I am.

Thanks guys
