Author Topic: I think I might have Asperger's?  (Read 2720 times)

i give you a solid "maybe not"

you're at least socially inept though by your account

There's something wrong with me and I want to know what it is. The closer I am to knowing the closer I am to getting rid of it and not having to randomly feel like stuff at 3AM in the morning because of something stupid that happened in relation to who I am.
what do you feel is wrong with you

Psych Central is a stuff place to take a quiz for something
Online quizzes aren't to be taken seriously anyways

It's easier to treat these sort of things at a much younger age so being 20 will screw you over by a ton

BTW they do therapy for autism

I suggest you think about ADD and bipolar disorder first though

tbh if you really do then it's not visible

Some of the treatment might include staying off the BLF


ya know, to get the Autism levels down
I know you're joking, but I actually left the forums for an entire year before I came back because I was bored, among other reasons.

Maybe leaving the forums gave me Asperger's. :cookieMonster:

To sum it up:

  • I can't operate socially like most others can. Missing social cues and not really able to have a conversation, like I stated above, and a few other examples, omitted to shorten the point.
  • I have trouble doing simple things. I have trouble doing things period. The thought comes up but nothing'll happen beyond that. Again, eating being one of them.
  • I tend to think too much about things or make them more complicated than they need to be, and in discussions, I lead others along a train of thought that can't really be coherently followed. I'm lucky that, on the internet, I can at least make things more clearer and succinct. This is an issue for me in programming because I end up stuck figuring out how to do the 'right' thing when given an arbitrary decision. This applies to a lot, actually.
  • My head's just a mess of incoherent thoughts in general. I can never materialize a proper, clear thought. It's probably the reason why I talk really fast and go off on random tangents in the middle of my sentences, along with (lol look at what I'm doing right now) finding the need to add bits at the end of my statements for the sake of clarifying information and trying to remove any misconceptions... which tend to pop up anyway.
  • Harsh, very severe lack of empathy and understanding of others' feelings, and an inability to feel interested at all in what happens in others' lives. I've hurt someone. We ended up splitting apart because of my overly cynical behavior that I somehow thought would help him in the long run. I'm ashamed of it.


None of these can be magically 'fixed' but I'm tired of being who I am regardless. I have a job, so I go outside often enough to gain decent enough social skills to operate in real life, but the broken core of my behavior hasn't changed at all. Ever.

I've thought about both. Keeping my options open here. I am on ADD medication, and it helps to keep me awake, but not much more than that.

autism is generally overdiagnosed, not underdiagnosed

Are you an only child

oh yea also how often do you socialize irl and go outside, because it could just be that you're a major introvert

I'm most definitely introverted. Probably dangerously so. I don't go outside very often. That seems pretty obvious. It's painful to think the solution would just be "going outside more" when my presence is already damaging enough to others in the first place.

Are you an only child
I lived as one, yeah. Just me and my mom until 3-4 years ago when she married my dad.

Honestly if you were aware of your behavior around others while you interacted with them
you could make yourself better


It takes yourself to change yourself

And I feel as though that's all I'm going to get out of this topic. Being aware is a thousand times more difficult than one might think. Thanks anyway.
