    I suspect my ex of 4 years has Aspergers

    Hey there, I have recently broken up with my boyfriend of over 4 years. I suspected he might have Aspergers about 2 years ago. I didn't discuss it with him then as I didn't know enough about it but he does seem to demonstrate a lot of the traits. Also I didn't know if I should bring it up as I...

    Should I tell my boss?

    Hi, I'm 46 year old Trucker and recently diagnosed with Aspergers and High Functioning Autism. The only person I have told is my missus. I have not told anyone else (other than you guys on here). Do you think I should tell my boss in work about my Aspergers? I do sometimes have issues with...

    Introduction

    Hi, my name is Justin. I joined this forum because I think I'm on the spectrum. After taking the AQ test with a score of 31 and the RAADS-R test with a score of 174, along with finding about how I was when I was a child it seemed to me that how "I am" could finally be explained. After doing more...

    trouble understanding descriptions the way they're supposed to be understood?

    I've found that I've always had a problem with imagining a setting and characters? Sometimes it's impossible for me to formulate a picture of a visual description and most of the time it's, wrong. In book fanbases I've noticed fanart seems to all have the same general idea of what the setting...

    My Asperger's so far.

    I couldn't speak until I was 4! I use to cover my ears and stuff! And I was low developed I think. But, I had Much Therapy, and I was able to be mostly, what you would call 'n*rmal,' I will never be "n*rmal," I have anger issues, but I can control them for the most part, I just hope I won't hurt...

    Thoughts of a restless mind (long post)

Thank you in advance for reading.) My name is "Ryn". I'm 23-year-old woman who currently resides in the...

    How to Propose to an Aspie -- at least, this one

    I have a PLATONIC friend in the building that I've known for almost 2 years. We have things in common, like music and computers and really strange senses of humor, he's a great cook, so we've been eating together for the whole time, etc. He's an old hippie and but there's an ounce or two of...

    What is the difference between Asperger’s and high-functioning autism?

    Even though they are supposedly different, I often hear people on this forum use them interchangeably. So it would be helpful to know if they are differences as well as any similarities.

    How do you make a distinction between obsessions/compulsions caused by OCD and by aspergers/autism?

    Just wondering because I think I may have either both or just one.

    I’m 17, and I think I may have autism/aspergers.

    Even since I was a child, I have exhibited some behaviors that I have never understood or been able to explain. But recently, I’ve been researching about autistic spectrum disorders and realized that a lot of the symptoms associated with it are ones that I feel/have. I even took an online autism...

    Not fitting the DSM V Aspergers Diagnosis

    Hi. I have just joined this forum. From my reading I don't fit the DSM 5 autism/Aspergers diagnosis but am probably closer to the new Social (pragmatic) Communication Disorder. This post may be a bit long though I will try to avoid a tendency to overdetail.. At 72 years the main value of...
