Hello everyone.
I was just filling out another aspergers test, and decided to search around for more aspergers stuff. I ran into this forum, and thought I would say hi. I have not been examined for anything as of yet, as I am unable to afford it. I am hesitant to believe I may have anything without official proof, but when I learned about aspergers it sounded a lot like me. I am not sure whether obsessive thoughts and undecisiveness are also a part of aspergers, or whether that is in the realm of OCD or OCPD.
I tend to try to make everything fit in my mind. For example, I bought the video game Final Fantasy 8. I've spent hours pacing around figuring out what roles I want each character to play, which magic should go on which character, which character should get which guardian force, which junctions to select. There are a large group of options in the game and I've probably spent more time going over them repeatedly than actually playing the game. When I move into a new room, it can take me weeks to determine where to put the furniture. It all has to be in order, as symmetrical as possible. If I can not get something to fit in order, it bothers me so badly that I can't get it out of my mind and I can think of nothing but it. It's like trying to put a round peg in a square hole, over and over. Really annoying.
Anyways, that's just a little about my obsessive thoughts and inability to make decisions. As regarding aspergers, I usually score high on tests. I am clumsy and poorly balanced, tripping over my own feet often. I can end up spending days focusing on a particular subject. One day I might start reading up on everything Dungeons & Dragons, I read the D&D wiki, write out character sheets, start reading various D&D books, etc. My hands are very sensitive to certain things, such as cardboard, and my nose can't stand perfume or other strong scents. In social situations such as being introduced to people, I have to fake that I know what I am doing. In conversations with multiple people if I want to say something I hold it for the right time, and I then either interrupt someone, or end up never saying it. These are all from what I read, symptoms of having aspergers.
Anyways, this is probably way too much to read for you guys. I just thought that maybe someone could understand and relate.
