For the past week I've been constantly worried about my mental condition. Recently I've lost much motivation and interest in high school, ( I'm a 15 year old sophomore ), and this year I just haven't felt well. Boredom in most all my classes, amounting to me staring off into space unknowingly and unfocused, or just drawing out some surreal art onto my note paper. I'm dissatisfied with the lot of my teachers, feeling that they dislike me and give me dirty looks while I somewhat doze off in their classes. However, in the past few weeks, my parents have taken notice at this, and decided to schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist in the coming days.

Me, being a very paranoid person, fear the worst in most occasions. I have a friend at school who I trust a lot and said I have signs of Asperger's or Autism. All of my life I have never been social, since the beginning of grade school. I had very little friends, and was disinterested in speaking to them outside of classes. One of the people I always considered my best friends since elementary has high-functioning autism, and I have always felt a social connection to him because of our shared situation of being somewhat isolated. I've always been very sensitive to smells, even foods people considerable good. Also, I'm a very picky eater, to the point of unhealthiness. I sit in silence if I can, and make very little eye contact when talked to by strangers in classes. I spend most of my time in my room, listening to music, because I've always loved music. I feel like I'm rambling at this point.

Essentially, I have some friends, but I am very distant from them most of the time, and prefer to be alone often. I have my ticks and habits, being usually the quietest person in the room, and the most awkward. I am just concerned that I possibly have an Autistic Spectrum condition. I was just wondering if anyone could give me an opinion based on the little information I could think to give. I appreciate it.

I actually have a lot of the same traits and i have Aspergers. But you shouldn't be worried. A diagnoses doesn't change anything. You are still you. It just means that if you need it you can get help.

I got diagnosed at about the same age. It helped a lot in school and everyone was very understanding.

Thanks you for the comment, I just have difficulty getting my mind off anything if not resolved I suppose. Much appreciated.
