Thank you for your replies and your kind words. I was pretty sure you would understand. I try to avoid places like facebook and twitter, because people will message me there and want to talk with me, but I can only maintain a conversation for a very short time before I run into a roadblock, and I honestly don't like people to think I'm trying to ignore them when I'm only at a loss for words. And I absolutely can't do chit chat and small talk, it's impossible, although I can go on for hours about something that interests me. I've always been like that and I can't seem to change it. That's the reason I like forums, because I can simply post what I have to say and leave it at that. I haven't been able to figure out where to go where there may be people like me, who's minds don't quite work like the average person's, so I thought finding a website like this might be a good idea.
I have a lot of what might be considered typical AS traits, and I have them to an extreme degree, but I also have a few traits that might be considered the exact opposite of AS traits, which helps to balance me out just a tiny bit, but it's still pretty much impossible for me to function as a "normal" person. I've taken many AS tests on the internet and they all say the same thing, that I most likely have AS. I haven't been to a doctor about it, yet, because I honestly didn't know why I was so different than other people. I uploaded a pic to show the results of one of the more interesting tests that I took.
Sorry for such a long post, but it feels good to be able to get these things out in the open in a place where I won't be looked at as a strange person. lol
And, by the way, you can call me Not Strange, or Just Different or you can call me Ember, which is my name, even though I'm a guy. Actually, I'm more agender, but that may be something for a different forum.
