Am I an aspie/autie?

[JesusOfSuburbia]

I have a hard time with making friends and I have extreme emotions, for example: My friend leaves the table and I think its because of me and I get really really anxious. I am very different than all of my peers and I have a deficit in creativity. I am also extremely unorginized at times. I have been told I am extremely intellegent by many people. I also dont understand others emotions and I am not afraid to hurt someone if I need to. I had a speech delay when I was young.

Facts
IQ: 130-150
Vocabulary level: Lower Bright (111)
Aspergers symptoms: I show most

There are many, many traits that come with Aspergers, and quite a few of them can also fit other things, so really, you need to read and research all you can and objectively see just how much does fit you. I do not tend to think anyone over the internet can really say whether you do or not without actually having some real life interaction.

There is also an only test/quiz that can help you with a self diagnosis of Aspergers. I was formaly diagnosed first, but took it anyways and I am most definatly an Aspie. Mikie

Like all those people said up there - Asperger's syndrome is very complex and has a lot of traits.

Try solving an online quiz! It's not very precise, but it will get you thinking.

They only take about 10 minutes if you're a deconcentrated person.

Could you tell if someone had asperger syndrome if you have it yourself? I cant see me knowing if someone has it unless they told me, but i dont know if thats an aspie thing or a me thing haha

I have usually been able to tell since researching a lot, and just being aware of my own traits. I once posted in a topic someone had started about this on another forum, and there were quite a few others who said they could usually identify someone on the spectrum. I just find that somehow, those on the spectrum tend to have certain mannerisms, a certain thing about them, that stands out among those not on the spectrum, to me personally.
