Hi, I am new here and I am hoping to meet some people who are more like me, maybe make some friends. Also to learn about Aspergers more.
I am 35, female, from Ohio. My interests are writing, photography, and esotericism. Music helps me cope with life more then anything else.
I am not sure I have Aspergers, I have taken the AQ test and I scored a 39, which indicates I might because the score for aspergers was 32 and above.
I have been diagnosed as major depression, bipolar, schizoaffective, to date. Seen many doctors, been on many different medications. So I am very skeptical now of everything, because my treatment has been a nightmare in the past.
My husband who wants to be able to communicate better with me and help me when I have meltdowns did research and he came up with the idea of me having aspergers, I am prone to believing him more than a doctor I see once a month because he lives with me day in and day out for six years and he I feel would be a better judge.
He took me to a therapist in another city because all of the therapists in my area do not deal with aspergers at all, and this therapist asked me questions and said that he also too believed I have aspergers. I have only seen this guy three times now.
Anyhow, I am sorry I rambled on about all that, I guess I just wanted to clue everyone in about me incase you write or reply or what not.
I am currently going through a very hard time in my life, I have lost two close friends, my grandmother passed away, my grandpa is getting closer to death, and my father has been in the hospital with a stroke. I am very lonely, with the exception of my amazing husband.I just feel like I put to much on him, with all of my emotional needs since I have no one else friend wise.
I have struggled my whole life with social situations. Everyone just said it was because I was an only child, and moved around a lot. I thought that myself for the longest time. However looking back now I see how different I was from other kids, I played with barbies til I was seventeen, and pretended to be someone else like a rock star with my headphones all the time. My father always just said that I was stuck in la la Linda land. Honest words his words. But now I wonder, I thought what I did was just coping, but now I wonder if it meant more.
I also apologize in advance if I offend anyone on here I don't mean to at all, I am just confused and I don't know if or what I am.
