I'm dating someone with aspergers, what should I need to know?
Hey, I have met this lovely cute guy who is very attentive to me, sweet, a little shy but still lovely. He said to me on one of our first dates " btw I have aspergers, just so you know" . There is something different about him but I can't put my finger on it, we are getting on fine thus far but I was wondering whether there is anything specific I should know that he would struggle with? I don't want to accidentally upset him in some way or put him in a situation he is uncomfortable with. Basically I don't want to ruin our great chemistry by not understanding his condition.If you have aspergers what do you find difficult about relationships and what do I need to know?
Just found out my friend had aspergers?
a very mild case apparently, but should what should i do?
Do i have aspergers?????????
I'm 17 and have ADHD, but also have very very strong Aspergers traits. I have an IQ of 138 and feel superior and smarter than everyone around me. I like using long and unusual words but i'm very immature and childish.I wouldn't say i plan things i'm going to do later, but i don't like it when i have to stop or suddenly change what i'm doing. I hate making quick, snap decisions. I have a short fuse and say insulting things and usually leave my mum in tears without showing any remorse or guilt. when i was little i used to have a weird obsession with churches and flags. At the moment i'm completly obbsessed with famous guitarists. I hate social events and situations, hate making eye contact and can't deal with change. I've always prefered staying at home doing my own thing rather than going out with my friends. I didn't really have many friends at school because i found it hard to have conversations with people who i don't know. I like to think that i don't have best friends, i just have friends. I usually ignores people unless they're talking about something that interests me, in which case i obsessivly go on and on about that spacific thing. my interests are Video games, Football and Comic books and Cartoons. At the moment i don't work and don't do any housework or anything. I'm scared of becoming an adult because i'm not ready to deal with the responcibilites. Do i have Aspergers?I really want to get to the bottom of all my problems but i don't want to sit down and talk with someone i don't know because then i'll just feel anxious and panicy. Can someone please tell me what i can do to try help myself.

Is this aspergers syndrome?
My nephew is 16 years old. He grew up in a difficult household his dad abused his mother in front of him. When he was 7, he was diagnosed as having aspergers. Once his mother left the abusive situation with her son, most of the symptoms disappeared. When he was 7, he was obsessed with ships, tantruumed violently, did not play any sports, but was fairly good at them nonetheless. He was also fairly socially awkward but for some reason he was in a normal school and was apparently fairly popular. Now he's in high school, and is taking several AP courses. He is extremely confident, mature and smooth talking he has plenty of friends and not a single one of them knows or suspects there is or was anything wrong with him. He's an " A" and " B" student looking forward to studying criminal justice at a prestigious college. My question is two part First of all, we believe that he was misdiagnosed in the first place, because as far as I know, no one can outgrow or develop out of aspergers syndrome completely. I know that bipolar is similar to aspergers, but my nephew doesn't have mood swings. Am I right in suspecting a misdiagnosis? And if I am, what could it really have been? Also, an aspergers diagnosis just about prohibits a law enforcement career most agencies' biggest concern is maturity so how should he go about getting rediagnosed? He has already recieved an academic rediagnosis but his mother still chooses on keeping the state financial benefits of him having AS.

I'm nervous about a possible aspergers syndrome diagnosis, does anyone have any advice?
I am 32 years old, female and live in Michigan. Awhile back ago a friend of mine made several comments about my constantly interrupting, my intense focus and obsession on my interests, the inability to know when I've done something wrong and apologize and the fact that often I'm unable to read someone's mood based on body cues facial expresssions, and the fact that I've overtly honest, even when it has the potential to hurt the person I'm speaking to.A few weeks ago another friend mentioned that she was reading a fanfiction online and noticed that the main character, who has aspergers, sounded an awful lot like me, and suggested that I take a look at the criteria for symptoms and diagnosis.I did, and I was astonished to see that a lot of the things that I'd always assumed were just me being odd, quirky, or misunderstood actually were symptoms.I prefer to be alone, I have obsessive interests that I will talk incessantly to anyone who will listen to about without realizing that they might be bored, I have extreme sensory sensitivity, I only have one friend, have trouble maintaining potential new friends, I cannot hold down a job, have trouble with eye contact, have rigid routines that I like to follow, am socially awkward, and tend to take sarcasm or other things said literally.However, my mother is unable and unwilling to participate in an evaluation assessment and since the syndrome wasn't recognized until 1994, I'm finding it highly unlikely that they'll be able to delve into my early childhood with any degree of certainty. I have my one friend and another friend that I'm not as close to that I could ask to give input, but nothing solid.I don't even know where to begin looking for someone to help me...I have no insurance, and very little money. I'm also concerned about finding a specialist, since it's recommended that you find someone in the medical field that specializes in autism spectrum.I'm highly frustrated and scared at the outcome. The primary reason for me seeking the diagnosis is that I fit almost ALL of the symptoms and have had them since childhood, and I've had intense difficulty in finding keeping a job. The aspergers is affecting me in all areas of my life and if diagnosed, I would be able to get access to resources that would allow me to possibly find a job that's appropriate for me. If you have any suggestions or would simply like to give your unprofessional opinion on whether or not I have aspergers, I appreciate any and all correspondence. Thank you for your time.

How Do I Find Out if My Brother Has Aspergers and Why Do My Parents Ignore It?
My brother is 27 and is very socially awkward, terrible at managing money, has never really had a girlfriend, and has a bad temper and appears depressed. He also has a learning disability, doesn't listen, and tells stories that seem to have no end or purpose, and lies a lot. I'm convinced he has Aspergers Syndrome but my parents won't admit there is anything wrong with him. What can I do to help him and get them to realize that this is a real issue?
How does he have Aspergers?
a person iam very close to was diagnosed last year by his physiologist, how does he have Aspergers? the only things i agree on is that he likes things organized and likes watch cleaning shows and sometimes has a temper and can act a tad immature. But when the physiologist diagnosed him he said he was mild that it was barely even there so he has it very mild. this person im talking about is not socially awkward at all and doesn't it find it hard to maintain eye contactand has good common sense can laugh but sometimes takes some things serious but not all things but then so do i? and can show feelings and emotions?? has anyone else heard of this very mild case of Aspergers?
Questions about Aspergers?
After exhaustive research, I think I may have determined what has made me such a social outcast my whole life. I believe I may have Asperger's. I have these little routines I do constantly, for example, before bed I check the doors and then go to the bathroom, then I check the doors again, even though i know i just did it. If I dont check again, it would stress me out until I check again. I have lots of quirky little rituals like that. I am also very antisocial. I am shy to the point where I get anxiety. I never know what to say, and when I do attempt to talk I cant make eye contact and i fumble over my words. I am very clumsy, always tripping and dropping things. Also, I read that people with aspergers typically have a few interests that they intensely focus upon. With me, I dont have just one thing i " obsess" about, but every couple months i start obsessing over something else, and it is a very intense focus where i forget about everything else i like.i dont know if this makes much sense but im describing it the best i can. does this sound like it could be aspergers? if not, what does it sound like to you?
How to help a friend with Aspergers Syndrome?
Hi, my best friend has aspergers syndrome, I met him last year and he seemed perfectly fine and was surprised when he told me he had it. However, in the last few months he seems to have deteriorated quite badly, i have helped him through many problems and they seem to get more frequent and over smaller things, for example the other day he got upset about not having a cupcake which led to a bigger problem. I seem to help him through his problems and to be honest it really puts a lot of pressure on me, and the help doesn't seem to be long term either. I want to know a way of helping him in the long term, and wondered wether anyone knows any solutions? Also, he doesn't see any type of psychiatrist or anything like that, he used to but he says he doesn't like them, however i wonder whether it could be good for him to see one? Oh and I forgot to mention that he's 16 years old. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give as it will be greatly appreciated.Thanks, James
