Hi I'm Mwiche and I'm trying to get diagnosed

Hi I'm Mwiche and I think I may have Aspergers I ended up researching it one day after a classmate told me he had it and then I was reading up on the info on females with it and I identified with it, right now I'm on the fence because I feel wrong, you see I know a girl with high-functioning autism and my friends brother has it but I feel like me saying I have it is like wrong now I wasn't lying about identifying but is that enough to get diagnosed. I've been reading up on it and it's all I've been really focused on my obsession I guess I've gone to sites for help here is one of them: Think You Might Have Asperger?s Syndrome? | Life on the Spectrum, I am the first comment and there you can see Leigh the creator of the site's reply to my comment. I'm sorry if I didn't do a very good job of introducing myself I really am and if you think I'm lying or anything I understand too :(
 
Welcome, I found a news paper article about aspergers and had never heard of it before this and I completely identified with it and started the process to get a diagnosis, I also went through the stage that people maybe thought I was lying and even started to think maybe it was just in my head, but my partner was very supportive and now I have my official diagnosis.
Basically what I am trying to say if you think you have it you shouldn't feel wrong and you should get the help you need especially if what you are going through impairs your life, to know one way or another is far better than not knowing at all.
 
Thanks I've tried the online surveys that I could find so I will try the ones you have given me thanks a bunch :)
 
Hi Mwiche: your introduction was just fine. I read the info in the link you posted as well. Many of us; actually, everyone here can relate to that need to just take a break from the world & make it stop. Truth be told, I bet that more NTs than we know about are also overwhelmed by the bombardment of noises, smells, jostling & pressures that the world imposes. It IS overwhelming. For us Aspies, it is even more challenging since the world was not shaped by us & not made according to our needs & values (like valuing lots of alone time & not constant socializing!). I hope you enjoy the forum & post often.
 
Hi Mwiche! Welcome to Aspies Central.

I thought your intro was great. It really gave a great and honest description of who you are and how you feel. Your post on the blog you linked in your intro is great as well. I understand exactly what you're going through as I sometimes get exhausted after talking with others after a long period of time; it's something I've been afflicted with for most of my life. It's not a great feeling, but I have found out that if I am talking with people I'm really close to and feel comfortable talking about I'm feeling, they completely understand.

As for trying to see if you have AS, I would definitely do some research and even try talking to people with AS; they might be able to point you in the right direction and find the info you are looking for because what they say comes from their own personal experience. Another tip: ask them if there is anyone they know who might be able to get you a professional diagnosis.

Hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck with everything.
 
Hello I took the RAADS and I scored above the average score for female neurotypicals , what does that mean?. I answered as honestly as I could even though I got bored at times I took it again and the score still went above test threshold, even though I still feel like "am I lying?":(

Alright I've taken the three quizzes the RAADS-R I took twice and scored above the test threshold and I took the Aspie-quiz that gives the neurotypical score and got 150/200 that's my aspie score and my neurotypical score is 44/200 and the Autism/Aspergers quiz was 34 even though it didn't save properly like I wanted.
 
Hello and welcome. We do not care if you have Aspergers or not, stay here anyways. We want you to, and you can be at home here. This is just a place for great people to be open and honest and NOT be judged. You will come to discover in time if you have it or not. The best advice I can give you is: You Will Know If You Have It. Like Sportster said, as you research more, you will know. It will feel like someone else has written your biography, like things finally make sense to you, and like you have found your long lost family. The people that we rely on for an "Expert" opinion are just practicing, and often get things wrong. They also base their opinion on things that they are told. This leaves a lot of room for error.
So believe, Love, Laugh, and LIVE!
Peace
