I am in process of trying to get a diagnosis of aspergers. I am hoping that within this forum there will be people who understand me as I have often found this a problem. People have never understood me for various reasons or have questioned me over and over again on particular characteristics about me that leave them feeling perplexed.
Some points about me:
I like to do things that have a reason or a point so to speak. (i.e. I don't go to pubs and nightclubs to drink or get drunk there is no reason or point, niether is there any beneficial outcome).
I don't always understand when I am being asked a general or Rhetorical question and people then percieve me as rude for either answering or not answering at the wrong time when it is not my intention to be rude.
I like to learn new information, when I learn about something I try to learn as much as possible about it and ensure that my research/knowledge is thorough.
I like looking at and appreciating Art as well as creating myself, I also like cars (appreciating designs, racing etc).
I undergo activities by myself (for some strange reason people seem to think you need people to undergo activities with you alot), I would appreciate being around people sometimes but because I have never been good at maintaining friendships or even sometimes engaging a friendship I avoid being in social situations altogether.
I find social talk awkward (subjects like; the weather, someones day in general when there is no specific aspect of the day being spoken about).
I have difficulty understanding and this shows in conversation and sometimes other daily activities.
I dislike to be touched by people (many people find this strange).
I don't feel complex emotions for people which many have found perplexing and almost alien. (I don't find people attractive or like people in such a way that is strong for me to want any commitment with them i.e. relationships etc). I just see people as people.
I don't want to overload everyone with information but hopefully this is enough for everyone to know a little about me. I am hoping to talk to similar and understanding people even though I don't have a diagnosis for aspergers yet.
Thank You for taking the time to read.
