Hi Aspies and NT's, I'm new to the forum so I throught I'd introduce myself so that you'll be able to see me as a person rather than some random text.
I'm a 24 year old individual that posseses qualities that seem to set me apart from everyone I know and work with, these include obsessions which I have carried with me since I was a child. I'm seen by other people as different and odd which has been received negatively by people at school and college.
I see the world at a different angle which recently became apparent that I'm not like other NT's at all, this seperates me into a small unique minority of people.
By being myself I distance myself further from other people due to my difference in character, interests and behaviour, this has forced me to ask whether I should try tp blend in by acting 'their' normal.
The behaviour of other people led me to think that only a small minority behave like this, but recently it became apparent to it isn't a small proportion at all but an entire population.
This has made me more confused since my understanding of people is different, and my behaviour normal and acceptable.
People as seen through my eyes all posess similarities in interests and behaviour which I don't feel apart of, nor would want be apart of.
Being made aware of Asperger's syndrome has led me to think that my behaviour and character closely matches the character and behaviour of a typical aspie.
Without ruling out the possibility that I myself have Asperger's I'm willing to accept that I could just be, different. But by being here I'm hoping to find similarities or differences with you people.
Some of my similarities with Asperger's include
Little interest in socialising
Obsessive interests in a catergory of things
Different character that sets me apart from everyone else.
Little understanding of people and their behaviour.
Noise irratability.
Hyperactivity.
Black and White view of the World.
Sensitivity to clothing.
Ability to learn big things easily.
