Is this an AS trait?

Post Reply New Topic

I am not sure if I have AS but I think if I do it is mild. I am 20 years old and ever since I was a kid I would get obsessions with movies or tv shows and talk about them and think about them nonstop. In 5th grade it was so bad I got two friends to pretend they were the other characters on the show. We would do this at school and anytime I was with them. I acted out scenes, bought all the merchandise. Needless to say I was made fun of for this obsession the rest if my time in school. My obsession was a Disney Channel show and a crush on the main girl character. That was the worst of it and lasted around 2 years. I now have obsessions with Earthquakes and Forensics

if it feels right for you, there's a lot to know and understand.

I still don't quite understand the spectrum, I know it's very diverse!

If you have access, with insurance, for an assessment then go to a psychometrist ASAP, many people with AS have other conditions, like Bi-polar, ADHD, OCD, depression, SAD...etc. DSM-IV)

The main stress in 'Psychology' - study of the mind, is....

"Psychology is theoretically diverse" and Neuroscience can get both, very specific and awkwardly confusing.

We're all best friends here anyway! welcome.

As a teenager I was really obsessed with cartoons on TV the movies, comic books, and drawing them myself. I used to talk about them all the time and daydream all the time about them and about becoming a successful cartoonist or animator. I was always in trouble at school because I would daydream or draw cartoons in class and I sucked at most school subjects and was even flunking out of ones I should have been good at (English, Science) and kids would bully me because it was all I seemed to care about and my mother wished I would become interested in "normal" teenage girl things (which I hated) So yes, it may very well be a trait of Asperger's because I have it but no one even knew anything about it back then.

If I get really obsessed with a show sometimes i'll become one of the characters without realizing it and start talking/behaving like them.
This means sometimes I have to quit watching shows because I start to lose myself.
