is it asperger's

Postby SpaceBar » Sun Jul 31, 2011 6:00 pm

hello all, new to the forum and i had some inquiry

these last couple years i have expierienced some rather intriguing problems.
I am noticing that as i get older, social situations get more and more difficult. for example when i hang out with friends i am usually very quite unless i recieve attention, i then recieve a burst of euphoria and talk for minutes about nothing and then it goes back to silence. now through taking these aspergers tests i am noticing things i tend to do.
when im interested in a topic i will research for hours
i have "nervous habits", biting nails, chewing the inside of my mouth, or biting skin of my fingers.
i have frequent loss of facial function i.e if i go to a bar and i recieve a look from someone i usually will act like i didnt see them and then continue to stare through my perpherals and raise my eyebrows or contort my face.
alot of the symptoms i think im expieriencing im not peticlulurly worried about.
it all comes down to my interactions with others.
now im 21 and i will often hangout with a group of 3 freinds ive known since middleschool.
the only thing is i hate 2 of the 3 people and i hate thinking about it but i only hang out with them in order to dodge a social status of being freindless. I hate them because i feel like there always trying to ditch me or put me down. someone will say something which throws my brain into a continuous rush of thoughts and then i will snap out of it when i hear something else to ponder about. the things i think about will range from paranoia that im being victimised or just ideas that seem completely irrational to others. I also find it hard to talk to people as i will either daze when spoken to or think about if what there saying could actually mean something else. My friends will get annoyed and quite explaining after the third or fourth time. also when im spoken to and required to answer i will give answers that make no sense and i while talking i feel a rush of feeling like just give them what they want and they'll go away.

i have trouble in meeting new people and when i do it is usually th eopposite sex but when i arrange a hangout things go very wrong. It will usually turn into a five hour sleepathon, and if i go out in public i feel paranoid or will have delusions.
example. this weeekend i invited a girl and a few of her freinds to my buddies, instead of being the life of the party that i imagined i was quite and would have random outburts in response to someone talking even if it is not directed toward me. I also had these dominant tendencies where i will be flushed with rage over the girl i invited talking to anothe rguy, the rage i know is unrational but i cant help feeling like she is "mine".

awkwardness is a daily occurance for me and i hate it. i would like to know what i can do or if theres anything to do. this may not even be aspergers so i am curious if anyone has had troubles like mine and what they have done about it.

Welcome Spacebar. Computer geek as well ? :wink:
Most of it sounds very familiar i must say. You say you did the online selfdiagnosis? How did that turn out?
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

You sound a lot like myself and I did the self tests and got 163/37 close to what you got. I have found this a great resource and a great place to vent or talk about anything that most would just not understand. Welcome!

Well the more things you recognize the more likely you have AS. So read a lot :)
