Hi everyone,
I'm 26 and have a strong suspicion I may have aspergers which would be of great relief simply because it would explain so much.
Currently living in Australia so a little bit difficult to get it checked out.
Reasons for, I'm extremely argumentative. Since childhood I have been argumentative, with my mum, with family, with my best friend and with my girlfriend.
I can also be extrememly pedantic to add to being argumentative. I was with my girlfriend on the beach and two things happened, the first was she saw water pouring from the ground and made a joke about it being a spring, my initial reaction was simply that it's a burst water main and missed the joke. Another time on the beach a sign said no carrying spears, she joked that I should be careful with mine (sarcasm because I don't own a spear), straight away I corrected her that it's actually quite common for people to go spear fishing in Australia.
Something that really resonated with me was that sometimes people with Aspergers can listen to someone else's argument or conversation, listen to the first few words and then form a response off of that in the hope I can talk again as I've completely lost interest in what they're saying.
Just a few things I instantly related to through reading about aspergers.
