    Is this guy into me or just friendly?

    Hi everyone, I have a question. I'm just very curious. There is this guy at my group therapy, him and his therapist suspect he has autism. I am almost sure he has it, but I can't say for sure of course. When we started talking, we got along pretty well. I think he's a funny, different and...

    Seeing patterns

    Sorry for the late response, I sometimes don't get a notification. It wasn't the base reasoning behind my diagnosis, no. You say Asperger's is more of a social impairment where the mind is focused on other things, what kind of things do you mean? Because I can really focus on people's faces...

    Doubting my autism diagnosis

    I think I'm looking for an opinion on whether I might have it or not indeed... I am happy with the responses I got. Yeah I think it's true that I also have to think about it, and that it doesn't come naturally. Considering that, I might be autistic. Thanks. (I even have to think about what I'm...

    Doubting my autism diagnosis

    Why I may be autistic: I have sensory issues I didn't know how to behave at my job (don't have one anymore), I felt inadequate, pretending a lot, never understood that 'silly chitchat' I focus on details When I comfort someone, I have to think about what I need to do I need to think about how I...

    I am diagnosed but I can lie and manipulate

    I was diagnosed with ASD not so long ago. When things don't go my way in my relationship with my boyfriend, I will sometimes try to lure him into a certain behavior that pleases me, like giving me attention when I hate myself and feel terrible and scared. I lie to him and tell him I will hurt...

    Seeing patterns

    Thank you. I've already read this article, but it was interesting to read again. It doesn't say anything about seeing patterns, though. I am also a bit too aware of contamination, my boyfriend says I have mysophobia but it's not that severe. I also have sensory issues, but they have become less...

    Seeing patterns

    I've always wondered what is meant by autistic people seeing patterns when I read about autism. They never explain, I can't seem to find any information about that either. When I got diagnosed with ASD not so long ago, I told the interviewers that I see triangles in things. 'Okay, so you see...

    How is Asperger's syndrome Diagnosed?

    At least where I live, they don't diagnose anyone with Asperger's anymore, there's only ASS. I was diagnosed with ASS a few days ago. They interviewed me for 5 hours and within that time I had also taken three tests. I had to look at several pictures and describe what I saw. They were testing...

    AS/BPD/Dissociation? I view personalities in a fragmented way

    I thought I had replied to you! Sorry. Yeah it could be ''black and white thinking'' indeed. Yeah, I'm going to try to be less bothered by how I come off to them. Perhaps I was in a really bad anxiety state which I couldn't get out of, that seemed to mimic disorders, but perhaps has more of a...

    Elaborate

    Thank you for your reply! That's quite severe, almost crashing your car. It's good that the pills are helping you. I also want to start taking pills, but I first want to wait for a diagnosis. I had thought about the same as you, SSRI's, and I'm almost sure (given my symptoms) that they may...

    AS/BPD/Dissociation? I view personalities in a fragmented way

    I can't express myself well and I have a hard time coping with my own and other people's emotions and their intentions. (I haven't been diagnosed but it takes so long before I get a diagnosis, I just want to see if anyone could relate or understand). I am not able to see the personality of a...

    Elaborate

    I'm now starting to think that it's not OCD at all. I don't engage in compulsive behavior, I don't do things people do with OCD in order to make these things less. Still, the intrusive thoughts are bothering me... Perhaps not OCD, but merely obsessive thoughts.

    Elaborate

    Just a small 'update' in between, I've realized now that it's partially OCD that has been taking over my life pretty severely, causing and worsening the fears that I've had throughout my life. I had never thought (and my psychologists have never mentioned this ever, only once, that I had...

    Thanks for responding! Good to know that there are more people out there with the same oddities.
