Could I have Asperger's Syndrome?

Hi Jonathon. My son is Autistic, he doesn't like fireworks or sudden loud noises, but then some people whether they are Autistic or not do not like thunder or fireworks. Maybe you should look at he National Autitistic Society ( NAS) website to read more about Aspergers and talk to your doctor.

If you have Aspergers you will be ok. You will need to learn how to cope and to respond to different situations, although you can not predict what people will say.

My son takes things litetary. but people who know you may understand how you respond.

You can talk to the NAS.

Best luck

 

 

Hey not all aspies have a lack of emotion, I think the females have a tonof emotion, more men than women have asperbergers, so they study the characteristics of the males mainly.

go to the doctor, although it depends on who you see. If you are congratulations , I find neurotypical minds boring.

most aspies have anxiety, not all but I think most do.

Jonathan,

Have you been diagnosed with ASD by a medically competent person?  Or, have you been reading up on ASD and making your own assumptions?  If it is the latter, I would suggest you go see a medical professional, and give them the low down on who you are, instead of making the assumptions you now are.

People very well can lead themselves into the emotional quagmire a lot of people find themselves in, wrongly.

Did you kown there is such a thing called "social anxiety", with very similar symptoms?  My point is, go have a competent medical professional diagnose you, and the key word is "competent".

 

I agree with what Yorkshire has posted. Whilst i myself am in the midst of being diagnosed, i hate loud noise, have irritability, absolutely hate being touched, and am much better isolated, i struggle with conversations and show little empathetic nature. I understand humour though, words are my world. Every person is different with Aspergers, my bro has it too, and whilst he had it to the extreme when he was young (ie dinner, no food was allowed to touch the other) he has grown up a kind hearted guy hecan be very empathetic. So pop along to your Dr and have a chat. Good luck. Nick.

Hi Jonathan, i can really relate to your experience of life. I also think I have aspergers syndrome. However, I am quite old, I am fifty years in July and all my life I Knew there was something not quite right with they way I responded to the world "at Large".  I worked two jobs so that I could have psychotherapy to support me through keeping down a job and owning my own home.  Trying to be a regular person and doing what everyone else was doing.  But I did not know that I was suffering from Aspergers. It is only now that my second son has presented with Autism and high functioning Aspergers that I can relate to my experience of life.  My son is 13 and half and is going through a difficult time.
