I'm confused by the way the website is set up--it's confusing. I can't completely navigate my account/profile as of yet, so I thought I'd try writing something... I don't think I have Asperger's Syndrome, but I do possess a moderate amount of the traits, like sensory integration issues, which cause my DPD (Depersonalization Disorder) to worsen under certain kinds of stress; however, I can comprehend facial expressions, and I have a good "theory-of-mind". I believe I have a moderately bad Social Developmental Disorder, because of reasons... that I don't care to go into. *Meh.

Other than that, I have a few neuroses that I have to cope with constantly. I have debilitating Anxiety, Depression that I really try to ignore really hard, and I'm simultaneously a perfectionist or bordering on "OCD", yet very self-destructive without being a self-harmer... I'm a moderate Schizoid--I don't find pleasure in socializing other than in a distance or with my boyfriend, because we're so alike... and I've have had DPD, since I was kindergarten age. Oh... and I've also experienced a mild Psychosis on-and-off since childhood... I wish I had more friends like me that I could relate to, it would help me out [a lot].

And just in case anyone might think I should 'see a therapist', I'm the kind of person that wants help, but I refuse it, because it's too stressful for me :no:

I hope I can delete this post if I change my mind later...
