Possible Aspie Woman saying hiiii

[RainbowAura]

hi I have wondered what is so WRONG with me for so long. I wondered why people didn’t want to be my friend and why people dumped me if they did hang around. I wondered why I felt strong emotions and felt out of touch with others.

My mother’s ex councillor labelled me as having aspegers and I researched it and relate to aspergers traits.

I’ve done a few online tests and am classified as borderline. I am unsure on some of the questions how to answer though.

Welcome aboard RA! Many of us havent had the chance to get officially diagnosed yet, but know we have it as our traits are similar to many that post here. Anyways, I look forward to reading more of your interesting post!

I was self diagnosed in a similar way and am now waiting for an official diagnosis. When i first came to the conclusion that i am autistic my head became overloaded with confusion. As time passed i learned more and more about autism and started to find answers to questions that ive wondered about myself all my life. I actually felt relieved.

I also struggle to keep freinds, i cant talk to female's and find myself alone most of the time. That said, you will find freinds on this forum!

Hi there and I am not official either. But very unlikely to be made official, as already my psychiatrist has had numoureous clues and not said anything and I live in France and they do not count it as a real disorder.

Like you, I have spent years perplexed as to why I am on the outside; that no matter how I tried to be a part of the "world", I just missed out and I had a good indicator of something not right, for my sister of two year's my junior, is so confident that within a few minutes of going anywhere, she would be inundated with new friends and by the end of the day or weekend, I just scraped in meeting someone, but always not sure how to keep in touch and thus, missed out on a few opportunities to have friends.

I was deemed a very troubled child when I saw some therapists, but it went no further.

Was in my early 40's when I discovered aspergers and joining here, helped me to see that I do have aspergers, but a tiny bit of me is actually scared that I don't, because it has been actually a sort of blessing, as finally I am understanding me.

There is talks floating around that having a brain scan can determine aspergers or not and in truth, I am petrified of being offered, because I have this thing that they will find me a fraud!

If you're on the border on self-tests, here's an idea that might help you settle one way or the other. The tests are focused on your current preferences, quirks, abilities, etc. But if you're a mature adult, you've probably adapted and changed over the years, so that you would probably test as less aspie than when you were younger. As I recalled more and more about my childhood and adolescence, I was eventually able to get a more accurate reading, basing my answers on how I was before adulthood.
