Do I have autism ?

Easy

I have thought for several years that I am high on the autistic spectrum,

I have very few friends and dont want any, I dont find it unusual to go a week without any conversations, I find emotions annoying and pointless etc,

but I also have very low anxiety, I never get depressed or lonely, I have no fears or phobias, and I am quite happy being me.

Reading this forum it seems a lot of people are anxious or depressed,

I didnt expect that, I thought Aspie's were unemotional ?

    The odd thing is, Easy, you say you don't want a diagnosis, or to put a label on yourself, but yet you clearly took the time to find out about Aspergers and other ASDs, to find the NAS website, the fact it has community forums, and to post this thread.

    Maybe, deep down, you do want that diagnosis, and that label?

    dont think so, 

    I want to understand myself, and similar people, 

    as I see it a label is for other people, it might help them.

    Also very skeptical about diagnosis, I think I know enough about it to get whatever diagnosis I want, it probably depends a lot on what I say.
