II usually get obsessed with one specific subject such as symptoms of a certain disease, the life of a person, how to do something, IQ tests or other kind of tests and stuff like that but all of a sudden I loose interest and leave it just to be obsessed with it again in a couple of months.Another thing is that I can't hold eye contact, I usually look at the horizon or the wall when talking to someone.I can't keep a conversation going, I just don't know what to say next, it's really frustrating I love to be on my own. I do know when someone is getting bored though, it's like I always feel that they don't care about what I'm saying and that they don't want to be with me, that's what I feel like I need to stop talking and sometimes I don't finish my ideas. I like to repeat lines of movies, I hear the same song over and over again, I like people to tell me the same anecdote over and over again untilthey're sick of it. My mom says I'm very picky about food and people get angry at me because they say I'm cranky and complain a lot. I hate social events. I feel very anxious when I'm going to a friends house when I'm on the way there, not when I'mactually inside the house . I don't like to greet or say goodbye to people, my mom says it's because I'm shy. I don't like to walk into crowded rooms, I feel like it's because I feel uncomfortable, like people are watching me all the time, that's why my mom keepstelling me to stand straight I find this very difficult because I feel kind of protected by not standing straight . Another thing is that I usually do this sort of competitions with myself, for example I tell myself I have to repeat some phrase 5 times before somebody talks or before a song ends and stuff like that, I do this several times a day. I want things my way and people get angry because of that. My IQ is about 130. By the way I'm a 16 year old girl. So do you believe I have asperger's?
I think I might have asperger's. What do I do?
I'm 13 years old, I have an IQ of 137, I'm very antisocial, people think that I'm weird because of the way I act, I find it very easy to remember things such as phone numbers, dates, song lyrics, I'm having therapy because I'm depressed and I find it hard to make eye contact with people. I also have a history of mental health in my family.There is many more than this but I don't like to list it. It makes me feel uncomfortable talking about it.Thanks in advance,Becky JayneBy the way, I have only had one option session with my therapist so we haven't done much yet.
If I have asperger's syndrome, am I autistic?
I understand the difference between high functioning autistic and asperger's, and I know asperger's is on the autistic spectrum but would I call myself autistic?Wow Smitty, for someone with " 28 years experience in neuro psychiatry" you're very ignorant. I am an aspie, and people on the autistic spectrum aren't simple, we're more than capable of intelligent dialogue.Perhaps before making such ignorant and instulting comments you should take the time to learn about autism and aspergers. autism.org.uk
Does this girl have a very mild form of asperger's?
she doesn't meet all the criteria. she is social and friendly, HOWEVER, she is very literal. she doesn't understand figures of speech, sarcasm, or joking around. she asks hundreds of questions. the other day she was baffled by a picture frame that was slanted because the stand was crooked. she kept asking " why is it like this?" she is very good at things that require dexterity and skill. she doesn't understand tv sometimes, she doesn't understand that parodies are just a joke and aren't real. she doesn't get concepts at all. she takes everything literally. she has an expression of " duh" on her face most of the time, but she does laugh, and play with other kids. does she just have a low iq? She is extremely good at playing instruments, skateboarding, video games, anything requireing dexterity or some kind of skill.she's 11i think i should clarify, when i say she doesn't get joking around not at someone's expense or irony or sarcasm, i mean she takes it very literally and thinks you are being serious. she doesn't understand the concept of irony or comedy and i think some of you missed the detail that she sometimes THINKS TV IS REAL. like spoofs or saturday night live or sitcoms. she always asks is that real? what does that mean?

Could I have Asperger Syndrome, or am I just introverted?
I took an Asperger's quiz where 33 was likely. I scored a 35. I didn't take this test seriously and will probably get a screening eventually.I looked up some of the other symptoms and such and It seems like I match with several however, I'm not sure whether the reason for my behavior is my introverted personality or potentially asperger'sSince I was young I have been socially awkward. I don't get along with people usually even though people seem to like me and seem interested by me. I don't try to keep them as friends even though i would find it good because usually in the end they dislike me. I tend to be extremely blunt but I don't mean to be most of the times. Right after I've said something, most of the times I don't understand the others reaction. I don't understand peoples emotions, I feel most emotions are uncalled for and shouldn't interfere with conversation. I can understand how others feel, I think. I can understand the definitions of the feelings but I don't understand why people must act on them or show them. I don't get when to stop talking. I often begin talking about something no one cares about and I can go on for a very long time. I don't understand why people get annoyed or mad at the things I say most of the time. My very few friends tell me I talk weird. I express myself oddly, and I apparently lack emotional intelligence. I don't think it's true. I come off disconnected to most people. Sometimes people think I'm sad based off my facial expression when in fact I feel quite happy or content. I try not to talk to people, I don't get social interactions or why people want them so badly. When I was younger I tried to make friends first through 4th grade but they were all failed attempts.I am some what clumsy.I took a look at GILLBERG'S CRITERIA FOR ASPERGER'S DISORDER and out of the options I would say I have most of them.I find it odd to diagnose inability to interact with peers, but looking back when I wanted to interact because I wanted friends. I couldn't, I would often stay completely silent, or nod, even when I knew, maybe I should say something. Eye contact is awkward for me. I either don't make it, or I make it too much. When the latter happens I'm thinking. A normal person, or rather, most people would look this person straight in the eye the whole time, and so I do that, it's extremely forced and I find it makes other people feel weird.When I'm talking I make unnecessary pitch and tone changes as well as speed changes. I lack facial expression most of the time. My parents and others constantly tell me, I need to show some expression, so for about two years I would constantly look at myself in the mirror while I talked so I could decide what expressions make sense and what expressions don't and what expressions I should never use.That's all I can think of. There are probably more things but I can't quite think.I'm not sure if I am empathetic. I can feel for another but I just don't care most of the times. Empathy is more than just understanding but actually caring and feeling for another. If this is true then I am not empathetic.All of this could also be because I over observe and over analyze. I tend to analyze absolutely everything and I also try to think of absolutely every possibility that could happen based a lot so it could be my over analyzing messes me up.I wouldn't say it makes my life hard to deal with, I'm not sure how I can explain this. My lack of social interaction doesn't make my life hard to deal with. It makes it hard for me to do things when I'm outside. I go through strides to avoid people. When I'm checking mail, or taking out garbage I try to check to make sure no one is outside or near so I don't end up in conversations. It makes my social life hard to deal with, which I'm not sure is completely true being that I don't have one, would like one, but to actually go and do things to get one makes me extremely nervous, to the point where I just give up. I don't have a job right now because I don't want to deal or work or talk with other people. Building relationships with others worries me becasue in most of my past attempt I've failed.I can easily express myself in places like this. I can't do that in reality, at times I completely shut down when it comes time to say anything dealing with myself.It took a lot of time for me to type everything above. In reality it is very hard for me to express feelings, I just can't do it or refuse to. I involuntarily refuse.I can pick up on moods of my mother and father, which is a more recent thing. I can pick up on moods of one of my friends because she'll start crying.Other than my parents and that one friend, I usually can't pick up on emotions.I can't put myself in the shoes of other people, then again I'm not to what extent.I don't understand completely lol.I can say " if I was x I would do x" but that's all based off how I feel and what I would do and what type of situation I feel I would be in, so I'm not sure if that's putting myself in another person shoes. I perchance lack empathy and sympathy.
Stop intensive thinking- Asperger's syndrome?
Hi, I have asperger's and for like 5 years I have been intensively thinking about a particular subject or special interest which is about how people perceive me and I basically just daydream about people giving me attention all the time etc. I know this is a weird special interest but I just wondered how I could start thinking about other things and not just this all the time?
I think my husband has Asperger's Syndrome should I tell him.?
I have been reading about asperger's and I think my husband has it He talks slow ina monotone voice and it takes him a long time to say what he is trying to say. Doesn't know how to act normal fact we actually joke about it when we go out if he is gonna act normal because he does try and it is very awkward for everyone.He has always seemed very uncaring and lacking emotion. He is a very smart guy and i know he really does care deeply for his family should I tell him I think he has this? Is it better just for me to know and try to manage are lives with more understanding of him?On the very slight chance he does agree with me he would never see a doctor about it.I understand the comment about me bring the only one to notice. That's not the case.Everyone has always been confused by the things he says or the way he acts.There was a period before we met when he was diagnosed scitzophrenic but he claims he was tired and stressed. I have no reason to think he is scitzophrenic. That is the reason I know he will not go to the dr now.
Asperger's syndrome in girls, more should be done?
I am a girl and I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome last year. I am relieved that it's just at low level but I think more should be getting done for girls with Asperger's , until recently is was only boys getting diagnosed and my mom kept asking the doctors to run tests on me in elementary because I had trouble fitting in and was showing the symptoms but every time they always came back with 'only boys get asperger's ' . My Mom is training to be a social worker and will qualify next year, I am planning to write a book on how I cope. So what I want to know is do you agree that more should be done? My mom told me there are girls that are even older than me out there who feel like I did before I was diagnosed. They struggle to fit in and don't know what's wrong with them and self harm themselves and things because they don't know why their different. Please if you can help.
