Could someone help me, I think I might got asperger's.?
II usually get obsessed with one specific subject such as symptoms of a certain disease, the life of a person, how to do something, IQ tests or other kind of tests and stuff like that but all of a sudden I loose interest and leave it just to be obsessed with it again in a couple of months.Another thing is that I can't hold eye contact, I usually look at the horizon or the wall when talking to someone.I can't keep a conversation going, I just don't know what to say next, it's really frustrating I love to be on my own. I do know when someone is getting bored though, it's like I always feel that they don't care about what I'm saying and that they don't want to be with me, that's what I feel like I need to stop talking and sometimes I don't finish my ideas. I like to repeat lines of movies, I hear the same song over and over again, I like people to tell me the same anecdote over and over again untilthey're sick of it. My mom says I'm very picky about food and people get angry at me because they say I'm cranky and complain a lot. I hate social events. I feel very anxious when I'm going to a friends house when I'm on the way there, not when I'mactually inside the house . I don't like to greet or say goodbye to people, my mom says it's because I'm shy. I don't like to walk into crowded rooms, I feel like it's because I feel uncomfortable, like people are watching me all the time, that's why my mom keepstelling me to stand straight I find this very difficult because I feel kind of protected by not standing straight . Another thing is that I usually do this sort of competitions with myself, for example I tell myself I have to repeat some phrase 5 times before somebody talks or before a song ends and stuff like that, I do this several times a day. I want things my way and people get angry because of that. My IQ is about 130. By the way I'm a 16 year old girl. So do you believe I have asperger's?
How do I know if my child has asperger's?
I'm not sure. I was told by his teacher that he doesn't actually have any friends at school. He is very shy. He cried everyday for the first 4 months of school. It suddenly stopped. Then it was everyday I dropped him off and picked him up he would remind me " sign the book mommy" and that was all he would say I mean over and over. I would say yes, I know I did sign the book ok just checking was his reply. I did a class party for him and he sat there with his head down, almost looking embarrassed. He doesn't talk to anybody. Sometimes even with family members he won't talk, or give kisses hello. Instead when I say go say goodbye to grandma, he'll hide between my legs and moan NO and he gets really angry about it. When we are home he always asked to go to grandma's so it's strange to me. He is also overly sensitive. When I cut his finger toe nails he completely loses it. Screaming, yelling, saying I am hurting him. He cries very easily over the simplest things that there really is no reason to cry. We cannot bring him to fireworks shows, he loses it there as well. The last 2 years my husband had to leave and I stayed with our daughter. Another issue, my daughter and son are fighting more I think she is losing patients with him. She is 7, he is 5. They have never played together. Only recently he has gone out front to play with the kids on the block and when he did it ended in screaming and crying because the other kids " wouldn't let him play with the ball" He actually wanted them to stop playing baseball and let him have his turn and then take the ball with him. I was like, " No, you have to play with the kids, they don't want you to take their ball." He wouldn't go field the ball to get his turn, just wanted his turn. Another time, he wanted to play with them, but it was so violent that I stopped it and he screamed at me and ran in the house crying saying he hates me and why won't I let him play? He was swinging a bat at the kids saying it was a sword At home with just us, he is very well spoken, very lovable towards me. I just am confused. We also have major issues with what he eats...he refuses to drink anything but apple juice and that has to be in this juice box with the picture of big bird on it. If it's not that juice box, he will NOT drink it. Also he only eats 3 5 foods. He also holds in his poop. He only goes once every week to 10 days...and it is awful. We try to get him to go and he screams and yells. The next day he usually is so upset from it all he vomits. I am at my witts end here and I have scheduled an appointment to get him evaluated, but I am nervous I guess that they would say, he's fine there is nothing wrong with him, which is great But, I think there is something going on. Just not sure what it is.Well, asperger's was mentioned to me, so I looked it up and it sounds like he has a lot in common with it. He has had no traumatic experiences. He does obsess over his legos, but so do many other little boys. I just worry because he is starting Kindergarten in the fall and I want him to enjoy school and not fear it. He will sometimes talk about his " friends" but I find that these children aren't really his friends, or playing with him....they just look at him almost like they have no idea what he is talking about. It hurts to see this.

I think I might have asperger's. What do I do?
I'm 13 years old, I have an IQ of 137, I'm very antisocial, people think that I'm weird because of the way I act, I find it very easy to remember things such as phone numbers, dates, song lyrics, I'm having therapy because I'm depressed and I find it hard to make eye contact with people. I also have a history of mental health in my family.There is many more than this but I don't like to list it. It makes me feel uncomfortable talking about it.Thanks in advance,Becky JayneBy the way, I have only had one option session with my therapist so we haven't done much yet.
Can people with asperger's be creative?
I have read that Lack of imagination and creative play such as not enjoying or taking part in role play games. They may also find it difficult to grapple with abstract ideas. is a common symptom of aspergers syndrome. but is it possible for children with aspergers to enjoy role play alone, and be creative later in life?

If I have asperger's syndrome, am I autistic?
I understand the difference between high functioning autistic and asperger's, and I know asperger's is on the autistic spectrum but would I call myself autistic?Wow Smitty, for someone with " 28 years experience in neuro psychiatry" you're very ignorant. I am an aspie, and people on the autistic spectrum aren't simple, we're more than capable of intelligent dialogue.Perhaps before making such ignorant and instulting comments you should take the time to learn about autism and aspergers. autism.org.uk
I think I may have asperger's, where do I go from here?
I'd like either have this confirmed or refuted but I do not know where to start.Do I go to my regular doctor or do I seek out a specialist??
Does this girl have a very mild form of asperger's?
she doesn't meet all the criteria. she is social and friendly, HOWEVER, she is very literal. she doesn't understand figures of speech, sarcasm, or joking around. she asks hundreds of questions. the other day she was baffled by a picture frame that was slanted because the stand was crooked. she kept asking " why is it like this?" she is very good at things that require dexterity and skill. she doesn't understand tv sometimes, she doesn't understand that parodies are just a joke and aren't real. she doesn't get concepts at all. she takes everything literally. she has an expression of " duh" on her face most of the time, but she does laugh, and play with other kids. does she just have a low iq? She is extremely good at playing instruments, skateboarding, video games, anything requireing dexterity or some kind of skill.she's 11i think i should clarify, when i say she doesn't get joking around not at someone's expense or irony or sarcasm, i mean she takes it very literally and thinks you are being serious. she doesn't understand the concept of irony or comedy and i think some of you missed the detail that she sometimes THINKS TV IS REAL. like spoofs or saturday night live or sitcoms. she always asks is that real? what does that mean?
Being easily upset is a symptoms for asperger?
I was recently diagnosed with PDD NOS. I tend to be impatient, keep myself busy, and always want to be modivated. If someone says something that makes me mad, I take it far worse than most individuals. I would keep complaining about it, that it would give people a headache sometimes. I don't realize I do that until someone point it out. I can't take pressure, and someone simple seems far worse than me. I also wanted to mention my parents are very protective of me, old fashioned, and we don't have a close relationship because of that. They always put pressure on me, and it's especially difficult having a father who is physically disabled, complains a lot, and depend on me so much. Having meltdowns, nervous, can't take pressure is it the result of my parents or is it from my disability. I know friends who has parents that are old fashioned over protective, and yet she's fine. She doesn't get easily upset like I do sometimes. I don't understand why simple things bother me so much. Any comments would be appreciated.Note Please no rude or negative comments
