Psychologist or Psychiatrist?

Hi Crumble

From what i've been reading they seems to be alot of variations of symtoms, each persons individual ways/ interests and querks, these seem to be more individual to each person looks to be more the social side of things that has the similarities 'in my opinion'. The online tests seem to gauge mainly social interest and interaction so if you are regestering a score that suggests possible ASD then i suppose everyones story may well be different, everyones interests are different as true for people with ASD and NT's.

The information online for Aspergers seems to be fairly limited from what i can see and even more so limited for Females with ASD. suicidal

My own suicidal thoughts in the past 'from what i can remember' iwas feeling like i needed a good sleep and for my mind to have a rest, everything felt so hard and such an effort. These thoughts past on there own though remember thinking it was daft to think like this but the logic that told me it wasn't wright was over ruled by emotion.

I worked for 2.5 year in Tesco on nights when it was closed, past up the opportunity to go for managment 'because id have to go on days and work with customers'. Worked in McDonalds for 7.3/4 years as a Maintenance man, Drainange and Plumbing for 6 month and Bannatyne's gym as a male Domestic for 6 month though i wasn't popular here because i spent most my time repairing stuff and servicing the pool filters and i've also worked for myself doing Fencing, Pluming and odd jobs and a Taxi driver for 1 1/2 years. Ive always had more than one thing on the go, but iv'e always had trouble with in efficiency in these jobs and have always lead me to come up with suggestions to improve function which has brought me to a lot of confruntation with managers and staff.

It was the Taxi that got me in the end, so much contact with the public and lack of predictability. Over the last 6 month i was only able to average 2-3 shifts a week and was treading water financially until i got to a point that i found it almost impossible to leave my room.

I've always looked at things logically and never associated emotion with how i feel, still don't really, makes it hard to explain your thoughts so i can understand with how you say 'I feel like a piece of lego that has been unstuck from the board and won't quite fit back down anywhere'.

I'm ESA as of a month 'reluctantly but necessary' at the min, they put me on Citalopram, has given me more sleep and reduced my anxity alotthough i find myself still wanting alot of space and routine.

Sometimes i want something interesting to do and other times i want to go into my own mind to think and anilise things and get annoyed when people talk or sounds destract me.

The libery might have more reading on Female Aspergers and can probably order in any books you'd like.

I'm not sure if there is a PM function on here.

Keep us all up to date and make your posts as long as you like ' i know i struggle to keep mine concise.
