I've done two main tests for aspergers. The result i got on one the first time i did it was 38/50 - A 'normal' person would score about 16-20. The other test i took i got 140/200, considered to be 'likely aspie' and it online diagnoses anything from depression to schizophrenia to aspergers based on 150 questions.
In terms of social problems... I don’t understand people in general and I never have. I’ve never been able to hold down friendships because I’m not interested in the ‘social’ things that they like to talk about. I could be talking to somebody and then get bored easily and not know what to say to keep it going, so I just wouldn't bother, or i would just turn the conversation onto myself. I want to have friends but I just can’t. This is the main reason why I blamed it on depression because I believed this had started to happen after i was bullied.
But since then I’ve realised it was way before then. Even in Primary school, I didn’t have many friends and i was very authoritive and aggressive and manipulative of other children. I was always getting into trouble for not listening or for pushing people. I didn't particularly like playground games or playing make believe. I always thought I was better than others... no idea why.
Other things I’ve noticed. I have had weird obsessions e.g. Power Rangers (big one), beanie babies and Lego. In secondary school it was just computers and talking to people online. I was more intrested in doing my work and it gave me much more of a thrill than trying to communicate with people. Nowadays it's mental disorders though really and I’m planning to do Psychology at Uni
I also have an obsession with car number plates and i have no idea why. I hate noise. When my dad eats it drives me up the wall and I can't be in the same room as him. I hate going to the college refectory because it’s too noisy.
I have a very strong relationship with a boy with aspergers. I class him as ‘normal’ and he classes me as ‘normal’ to him. But he finds people who would be rated as normal as weird. So I’m confused.
Can anyone please help me?
