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 ?

  • I cant see any contradictions, happy people want to understand themselves too.

    Being miserable is not the only cause of self awareness.

    A diagnosis is someone else's opinion, I dont always agree with what other people say. And people often misread me.

    And I probably wouldnt trust what someone who only met me for a couple of hours said about me. 

    I dont just want a aspy yes /no, I want to understand what it is and how thats relevant to me.
