    Anyone feel like a robot?

    Yep. As a young child I was convinced everyone else was a robot and I was the only real one. I grew out of it, but I still have moments of depersonalization and/or dissociation.

    Being too honest

    Going on the assumption I do, in fact, have Aspergers (at this point I'm 99% sure I do), I'm wondering if others here have a reputation for being "brutally" honest. I don't mean to be, but I have a VERY hard time lying, even white lies to make people feel better. Plus, I see no reason to - if...

    Is it possible I have Asperger's?

    Well...if overthinking things is common with ASD, I certainly have that symptom. I overthink things to the point where I have no idea what's real and what's in my head, with no possibility of returning to what's factual. Anyway, thanks for your response; that helped me. Plus, *I* don't like the...

    Worst thing a teacher has said to you?

    Not exactly said, but in elementary school a teacher punished me for not understanding sarcasm (I responded as if it was literal, which got interpreted as snark. I thought it was wildly unfair, and didn't understand what happened.)

    Is it possible I have Asperger's?

    I showed the results to my mom, and she had zero reaction. None. So I changed the topic and we didn't bring it up again. Based on the past, she either thinks I'm being a hypochondriac again (quite possible, if I'm being honest - I overthink things and accidentally make up symptoms a lot of the...

    Is it possible I have Asperger's?

    So, yeah...did this test I saw in another thread, and the results point to probably having Aspergers as well.

    Aspie Tests (RAADS, AQ etc)

    Probably an Aspie. Okay then.

    Is it possible I have Asperger's?

    The link did work for me, and I got a 37 out of 50. I do understand that I can't get a diagnosis or totally accurate conclusion without a doctor or psychologist, but I'm not looking for a diagnosis. What I'm here for is to get an idea of whether I'm like this because of a good reason, and not...

    Is it possible I have Asperger's?

    I'm feeling very conflicted. I've never been diagnosed, evaluated, or anything related to the autism spectrum. From what people tell me, I know I seem slightly odd to others in my behavior, but not enough for them to think much of it. I do know I've always felt different, but I think most people...
