I cannot get a diagnostication done because it's very hard to get them to go through with one (i've tried) and I am speaking to a therapist but my therapist cannot help. I have done one test and it said that I was medium on the scale of how intense your aspergers is.
I have a very good friend with aspergers syndrome diagnosed from when she was a small child and we can relate to each other 100% and have the exact same problems.
I cannot do anything without help from my parents (but I do get a lot of help so it may seem on the outside like I function normally), I can't make phone calls unless I get forced and I do it with tears in my eyes, I cannot make friends because I don't know how to talk to people and I cannot show my emotions which causes me to get misunderstood by everyone I meet. I am also very childish for my age, after 3 relationships I am still a virgin (i'm NOT asexual I just don't feel emotionally mature enough to take that step with someone), I rarely drink alcohol, I am incapable of doing things spontaneously and I need to have everything planned in advance, I never swear and I am just generally very quiet and careful. My ex also has mental health issues and severe social phobia and we were together over a year until even he started to get sick of how "closed" I am when there are people around and how shy and introverted I am and he started picking on me, calling me names and trying to get me to do illegal stuff by claiming he did because i'm such a wimp. I don't think he meant any harm because he's nice but even he got annoyed with me eventually and his humor is quite harsh but when I got really upset he apologized and also realized I took most of what he said (joked) literally and I basically just told him to f off and leave me alone and don't comment on the way I am.
So I have these problems and I don't know if just normal therapy can help me fix that if I do have aspergers and how I will cope out in the real world on my own without any proof of a diagnose, i'll just have to do what normal people do and right now I have a sales job and it's very hard for me, lots of anxiety everytime and I am so exhausted all the time too and just wanna sleep but I can't do that. I do want to have jobs with people though because those are the only jobs that interest me - the ones that involves a lot of interaction with unfortunately. I am not interested in medication and I have seen what it can do to people. I just want to know what I can do because i'm just lonley and misunderstood and people don't get me the ones who try to know me and how can I explain to them what is wrong with me when I don't even know for sure myself?
