Hey Aspies and non-Aspies<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure I don't qualify as having AS, as I do not have an issue with a lot of things in life. I have friends, I socialise, I do a lot of dance classes and excercise and go to gigs.<br />
<br />
Why am I on this site if I'm not Aspergic, you ask?<br />
<br />
Because I understand. There are a lot of quirks I have which the people around me do not understand. I feel naked if I have to look somebody in the eye when I speak to them. I stiffen my body completely if a family member tries to touch me. If I go out with my friends I have to make an itinerary, and I get upset if anybody is late or deviates from my plans. I hate surprises and people making last minute plans or changes. If I think that I am going to be late, I start stimming or sometimes crying. <br />
<br />
My room must have everything in place before I leave or go to sleep. My underwear must match my outfit. Everything must be ready two nights before, at least.<br />
<br />
I have taken several internet ASD tests and they qualify me as well into the Aspie range, but I don't feel the need to seek a professional diagnosis because I do not think my differences damage or even affect my life too much. Many of these characteristics don't involve something bad happening, they simply involve me feeling uncomfortable or upset. <br />
<br />
If anyone has or wants any help or advice, I am always happy to hear your ideas or help.<br />
