Primary Snoring
The introduction should be first. A low-detailed autobiography: I am a female teenager with most peculiar behavior, born in 1993 and soon to turn fifteen, the country I live in is of no importance, though I should mention English isn't officially spoken there. My interest in the syndrome mentioned above can be viewed both as a part of my fondness of psychology and philosophy and as a manifestation of the need to know myself. Either way, let only truth be told and if you think I only pretend to have Aspergers, let me know. I found out about the syndrome the very day before yesterday while reading about G. Orwell's life and personality. The symptoms seemed similar to my behavior now and years ago, in fact if my name was written above most of them they would very well look like a description of that illogical mind of mine. I've always been antisocial, having few or no friends in my kinder garden, pre-school and primary school years. Even now I have about two or three people I can share with, but during holidays we barely meet each other, the frequency of our meetings no greater than once or twice per a fortnight. I always walk alone, I've always walked alone, undisturbed, thinking about things with or without meaning, grinning, frowning or even talking to myself. I tend to go out in the streets and run as fast as I can when under stress or when consumed too much by my thoughts. What do I think about? The main reason I became suspicious of Asperger's syndrome was my inborn habit to become over obsessed with stuff. I love dark fantasy, the tragic and severe, yet majestic and magical atmosphere of it, it fascinates me and makes me think of the unreal and the unknown, so when it comes to science I am also very much interested in the most abstract of astronomy and biology. Philosophy and psychology are also two subjects I can give lectures on. My lack of compassion was obvious and my parents were typically upset at me when I saw them working hard and not wishing to participate and help them. I also needed time to learn what makes other people upset and I can't tell if I have learned completely. Several teachers have told me that when it comes to intellect I am far above others of my age, but my communicative skills are kinder-garden level. Teachers again consider me rude, disrespectful and lacking manners, but I simply have no control over that part of myself. I can't look in most people's eyes, especially if they're strangers or of authority. But I typically do catch myself staring ant a random person's face or body an I am stared back and laughed at. Did I mention I find it hard to relax and talk when in company or when among strangers? I am either too honest or speak nonsense, far more immature and agreeing than I usually am. I even get a headache and need to be alone for a few hours. Of course, things would be different if I could talk about my interests, but whoever would listen? I don't think my reflexes have suffered as I can be quite good in spots. I needed nine days to learn how to cycle, but now I can make most types of maneuvers without using my hands. My handwriting is ugly, but legible and I make a lot of typos. Noises are also a problem, I can't sleep in a room with a clock in it. I get annoyed by a person's breathing, not snoring, simply breathing can keep me from sleeping. And damn, I remember times when even my own pulse troubled me. Last, I keep being told off for playing with small objects like pieces of paper, stone, metal and etc, tossing them around, stacking them, lining them, breaking them or making holes in them. I tend to play with them AND my skin, so I usually have some wounds on my face and hands from such innocent play. Thank you for the attention and wish you good luck with your own problems. EDIT: About the test: () I scored 42 lol. [url][/url] [url][/url] Damn, that was a screenshot. Well, I have your answer. Hello, Well by the description you've given, aspergers is definitely a possiblity. Of course the best way to know is to see a psychologist or some whoever is familiar with aspergers whoever can make a diagnosis. They would be able to tell you more certainly, or if they felt that there were other concerns they could let you know that too. Also with that said however, I am self-diagnosed as well, and I am sure that Aspergers is what has affected me since I was very young. You can learn more about me on my website: And I have even written a book based on my experiences in junior high school, called Raging Horrormoans. I would encourage you to check it out if you are interested. You can find all the info on my site. I also think it's good you're getting to know yourself now. This is the way to become successful if you have Aspergers. You learn what makes you tick, and then you go with the flow. I started a journey in my teenage years of trying to figure out what the heck was "wrong" with me. And then, I just realized, it was just me (laughter.). And as I learned more social skills and how to get along with others, my life became more relaxed, and I am enjoying myself now. But do check out my site, and feel free to ask me questions anytime.

I can comprehend why you might think Asperger's is your issue. I'm not a pro, but I do know that there’s something wrong, and Asperger's seems to fit. Asperger's tends to come along with other issues, typically OCD and/or ADD are common. Your capability to do well is sports is very unusual for someone with Asperger's, but it might be that your interest in how things are done, experhymenting with new things, figuring out how things work or interact can be what has helped you to do so well.
If you want counseling and treatment, it's best to talk to your physician about what you go through. Hopefully you can be pointed to a psychiatrist whoever can diagnose you or at least come up with a regimen that will leave you more able to interact with those around you effectively.
See a doctor and get a referral to a psychiatrist who may be able to officially diagnose you. Good luck.
