I have been in a relationship with my other half for a few months (have known him a good while longer) and am wondering if he may have Aspergers syndrome.

He's in his late twenties, has a successful career and is very witty and good fun, yet sometimes he acts selfish, childish and spoiled. I confided in a friend and they advised me that this may not be the case at all, and he may ...

So for several months now I have speculated that I might suffer from either a personality disorder (obsessive compulsive) or an autism spectrum disorder. After bringing it up with family and my primary care doctor I was sort of laughed at and not taken very seriously.

I'm just asking for suggestions and maybe some possible reasons why I'd be struggling from these issues. I plan on going to a psychiatrist but I don't know if I can afford it.

The reason why I think I may have an autism spectrum ...

For as long as I can remember I was lied to that my entire identity would revolve around the fact that I was autistic, everything I did was always related to my autism, and everything I said or heard were dismissed merely on the fact that I was autistic, you see I got diagnosed around age 4 or 5, in my country this diagnosis is like a death sentence, or at-least you can never lead ...
