What are examples of symptoms of asperger syndrome?
A counselor asked me today if I'd ever been diagnosed with asperger syndrome and I haven't. The counselor didn't go into more detail about it. I looked up some of the symptoms of asperger and I can't be sure from the vague descriptions given. can someone give me personal examples of asperger?
Does it sound like I have asperger syndrome?
I am a 16 year old girl.I have few friends and I am very awkward socially.I stutter a lot when I speak.I can't make small talk with people.I have a very hard time making eye contact.I have narrow interest I'm obsessed with reading biographies, and I have an big interest in history and geography .I am very sensible to certain noises since I was a kid I'd always hate loud noices, I'd even block my ears when flushing the toilet lol .I hate when people I don't know touch me.But I do have empathy depending on the situation..like If a friend tells be they broke up with their boyfriend girlfriend I really won't care but If someone died I will .And I can see non verbal pretty well.People think I am rude because I am not social and I don't always act like other people do.And I obsessively walk in circles in my house while listening to music . If I don't do it it doesn't feel right.I will put a movie on pause sometimes to go walk around in the house for like almost an hour.Does it sound like aspergers or not?
How do they test you when you suspect you have asperger syndrome (high functioning autism) in adults?
I have had my suspicions for a while but especially recently after reading a book with a person suffering asperger syndrome. A lot of his quirks were similar to mine, except mine weren't as severe. Except in high school where I stopped talking to almost everyone, by 15 I was barely acknowledging the teachers Due mostly to anxiety, started to improve after leaving school, but due to poor social skills and total disinterest in social situations it was 4 years til I got a cleaning job So I was thinking about getting tested and am anxious about it and was wondering what tests they'd use?
Could I have asperger syndrome or is it something else?
I have posted this before but didnt get much answers I am a 16 year old girl. I have been told by people parents,sister.. that I sometimes seem autistic but I've read about autism and Arpeger syndrome and I think that Arpeger syndrome describes me a little better . I have only few friends and have trouble keeping them . I am extremely awkward socially. People think I am strange because of the way I act and talk. I stutter a lot when talking,repeat myself and not always finish my sentences. I don't notice if I talk to low or to loud until someone tells me. when speaking I don't have much intonation. And I don't like talking to people about something I don't have an interest in. I have empathy but not as much as other people seem to have. I always seem to be in my own head. I obsessively pace in circles around the house or anywhere really , it helps me think and if I don't do it I feel very uncomfortable. I do it a couple hours a day and sometimes if Im watching a movie ill have to pause it to go pace in circle while listening to music. I am horrible with eye contact. I have narrow interests it changes sometimes but usually it has to do with history ex. history, world wars, the Holocaust, people's biographies, economie, crises in different countries at different times, news... . I can't stand when people talk too loud and hate being touched for a long time ex. hand on my shoulder... .I sometimes come off as shy and rude for not being super social.. . Do you think I could have Asperger syndrome? what else could it be? I know some of the things I said are maybe not actual characteristics of Aspergers but I thought I'd just say it all .
Do i have asperger syndrome ?
okay hi. so im really shy in real life. I use to be really good at making friends, but then in third grade i kind of just..got separated from all my friends and just faded into the background. I had two really good friends outside school, but they moved away. Its really hard for me to talk to people, honestly. Its so hard for me to be made fun at school. It gives me so much anxiety. Giving project presitations school is so hard. I think i almost went to the nurse just to avoid doing them. I nearly started crying when the teacher told me i couldn't stay up for lunch to do it. I didn't want them to laugh at me if it wa slike..dumb or something. Its hard to talk to people..I dont want them to think bad about me, you know? i just idk..i have friends, lol. On the internet, i have alooot. Its not scary talking to them because i can just change my face and name and bam im starting over. If i mess up, people aren't going to be so forgiving.. do i have " asperger syndrome?" or am i just really shy or have social aniexty? I don't do things over and over or wear the same clothes every day..noises don't bother me. i don't like doing the same routines every single day either...? I don't talk alot either lol
Questions about asperger syndrome?
I am 19 and my whole life people have said i have this syndrome but I never considered going to a therapist doctor about it. I have all the symptoms though. I want to see if people are right. But where do I begin? Like, do I go to a doctor or a therapist? And what types of tests will they give me? Then if I were actually diagnosed with it, would I take medicine or go to therapy?
Can having agoraphobia lead to asperger syndrome?
i know someone who has agoraphobia since they was 12 and now they 21. they been a hermit since 2002 . since they have locked thereself away over time they spelling has been reduced and they was top of the class for spelling. they beginning to get asperger syndrome symptoms. they used to get bullied in school but not for having it they got bullied for being shy and quiet. this still isn't diagnosed and still i want a 2nd opinion rather you just saying go to docs . they got no friends because they grew up being a hermit and skipped school at 16 so no qualifications. as 7 or 8 did have a few friends who wasn't real friends just kids from school who use to bully or tease and a couple who drifted apart assuming you was clingy and needed them. when they put a sentence together it doesn't make sense like it's not there first language which is thoughts disorder which comes with asperger syndrome. also they have past life regression and delusions of fake memories of a past life and talking to figments from a dream believing there the people from a past life and even talking to them . they alone in the house always feeling depressed because they a loner and a reject to society. i am they only friend. he also believes that he was in love with this girl from a dream from his past life and when not dreaming always feels depressed and lonely and that she hates him and that he feels his dream state is more real than his awakening state. because his life sucks. his only resource is going online and people always being mean to him in chatrooms because they bored and don't know him which he takes personal. he has many other problems that he feels his too late to mend and just feels like giving up. since not really going out it's like his brain cells are being reduced or something. he also may have schizo affective disorder also linked with asperger. so now read this answer the question thanks.i'm not saying agoraphobia lead to asperger syndrome directly but the fact they was hermitized. i also know that it develops in early adulthood so it's possible he was born with it . he just didn't realize and didn't take effect till early adulthood and when he hermitized himself.

Is Asperger Syndrome genetic?
I was diagnosed with asperger syndrome when I was 7. It's a social defect. I've never been any good with chit chat. Anyway, my mom believes my grandad who died 7 years ago had asperger syndrome. Nobody else in my family has or had it that I know of. My granddad was never diagnosed because in his day asperger's was much less known than it is now. People just thought he was unsociable. I never knew him well but from what I heard and saw, whenever we had something like a big family dinner, he just sat alone quietly just like I was doing, not saying anything, or walking away in the next room to be alone. He didn't show up for either of his son's my dads wedding, when everyone else did. Also, aspies tend to have a big interest in one area, and he had one interest in tractors, owning about 20 of them that he had on his farm. So he did very well for himself because of his fixation on tractors farming, but just like me, he was very withdrawn.
