    On the fence about whether I'm autistic

    Thanks. I think I'll try to find one of those. :) Another thing I mentioned in that post that I maybe wasn't as clear on is that I don't really show emotions around other people.

    On the fence about whether I'm autistic

    Okay, well, good to know that my original diagnosis is probably the correct one, then. :) For what it's worth, I took the Ritvo Autism RAADS thing. http://www.aspietests.org/raads/questions.php?show=889495e9153896&locale=en_GB Social and Sensory columns are in the yellow, but everything else...

    On the fence about whether I'm autistic

    continued from above SENSORY ISSUES: Loud and shrill noises are painful to me. Extremely bright lights can be as well. Sometimes when driving at night, other people’s headlights can reflect too brightly off of my rearview or side mirrors, but this isn’t always the case. When they first started...

    On the fence about whether I'm autistic

    I’ll apologize in advance for the length. This is going to be long. But certain family members, including my wife, think I might have Asperger’s syndrome or some form of high-functioning autism, since Asperger’s isn’t being diagnosed as of 2013, apparently. This has on-and-off been an issue...
