    Pretending to be 'normal'...!

    I think that's the case for a lot of us - I notice a lot of things I do are just copied from others, it's all scripted. Sometimes I feel a bit depressed thinking that most of what I do is just mimicking and guessing my way through most scenarios in life because it doesn't come naturally to me. I...

    Have you ever been discouraged or critisized for your hobby or interest?

    I love to draw also but I am not very good at it. It's frustrating for me because I have always loved it and have been drawing since I was a young child, but the truth is I have no real talent for it and feel I should be much better at this point than I am. I wish I had a special interest I was...

    Obsessed with golf

    I can't say I have ever played golf, but it seems like a lot of fun. I hope you continue to pursue your hobby in it, if it's something you enjoy whether you're as good as the pros or not it doesn't matter. But the more you do it I'm sure the more you'll improve. I know how you feel with that...

    Details or big picture?

    I tend to focus on the smaller details rather than the whole picture, but I believe that is for two reasons. Firstly it is very hard for me to summarize things, I will always end up over explaining. Secondly is how I can only seem to process one thing at a time. Because I can't remember...

    A new AQ-test by Newsweek?

    I got a 40. I haven't done this one before, but it seems to have the same questions as others I've tried, which I got a 39 on. Close enough together, I guess. Interesting.

    I think I have asperger's, would like some input, and advice with getting a diagnosis.

    Yes exactly, I feel like both of them have an image in their minds which isn't necessarily accurate, but they won't even hear me out because of it. Even though a lot of times I don't get why someone is angry or upset, I don't understand why what I said or did upset them, I do feel sad if someone...

    I think I have asperger's, would like some input, and advice with getting a diagnosis.

    Wow, so many kind replies, and quick too! Thank you everyone, I was worried no one would even bother to read all that, it got so long. I will continue researching but so far I can feel fairly confident in a self-diagnosis, though I think I would still prefer a professional one. So thank you for...

    I think I have asperger's, would like some input, and advice with getting a diagnosis.

    Hello. I feel very frustrated and alone right now, and would like someone to listen to my concerns. Some days ago, I took this autism test at the request of my boyfriend. I got a score of 39. I dismissed it, assuming it to be because of my introverted traits. He said even so, it's not normal to...
