Hi All,
I'm currently in the process of being diagnosed, but for now are these traits associated with Asperger's?
I fixate severely on things like music, sport and politics and go on and on about them often not knowing that the other person isn't happy with it. It feels like a compulsive urge to tell them about it.
I more often than not feel detached from loved ones and feel like my love towards them is fabricated. Not from the heart. I did wonder at one point if I was gay because of how I felt towards my partner. Sometimes I feel slightly detached from serious situations involving young ones but then over compensate for it.
I find it hard to concentrate and have to organise things properly or my mind will get muddled up and I'll get frustrated. Sometimes I get suddenly angry, frustrated and can be hateful towards someone but never hurt anyone, just minor.
I find it hard to consider how others are feeling. Often I would do something and not understand why someone is upset with me. Just can't comprehend it.
I feel intelligent and can really think well about things at my pace and one at a time, but can easily get messed up if I'm interrupted or overloaded and can appear quite dumb.
I always get told that I'm smarter than what I achieve. This was a major thing at school. I actually once had a special teacher cause she thought I was intelligent but wouldn't show it.
I have a really powerful imagination and I'm interested in writing books etc.
I always thought these things were Anxiety related as I once got diagnosed with that but it feels different.
These things happen more often than not every day of the year.
I have moments where I feel strong love, emotions and empathy towards people but then I detach for often than not.
Thanks for reading this long story. Just trying to find some closure.
