Do I have ASPERGERS (7 MOST Common TRAITS)

Does anyone else find themselves worrying about arguments that haven't even happened yet?

I'll occasionally go through a "dry spell" where I won't have a special interest or an extreme one, then I'll latch on to something soon, and they switch through the years

I feel like crying whenever I watch anything about Asperger's because everything in them describes me. I have always felt like a weirdo since highschool. I definitely need to get a diagnosis before I die. I feel like I need to have that closure and validation.

I know it’s not a clinical term, but I think people with ASD are empaths. They are super sensitive to the energies around them and they can be very overwhelming for them. And they say Aspies don’t understand what someone else is feeling, but that’s because they cannot label it. They FEEL much more keenly than other people, that’s why they’re so particular and have meltdowns.

I’m obsessed with plants, art, and learning languages. And so many things. Lol. I get really really into it.

ive found a way to make yourself look like you are looking somebody in their eye and its super simple: all you have to do is look at their nose and the point of it. the part where you would boop :)

I'm 35 and just always thought my anxiety was really bad or whatever and I found your videos and you've opened my eyes so much thanks a ton great videos

At 78 I’m just learning about Aspergers thru videos like yours. Arriving way late to the table but so glad to have finally found answers to the lifelong feeling of being “different.” My daughter at 36 recently discovered she is an Aspie and thought I might be too. Now I’m spending a lot of time on YouTube learning about Aspergers and really grateful to channels like yours that give me a sense of community. (I’m female, born in New England but transplanted to the beautiful Ozark mountains in Arkansas thirty-five years ago.)

I use to have really bad issues with eye contact, but as i got older i kind of got more and more use to it. Now i tend to completely stare into the person's soul though lmao. This video makes a lot of sense though. It puts a lot of pieces together in my head Edit: this is more of a self diagnosis, but i should see a doctor

1. Difficulties with Eye contact 2. Special/obsessive interests 3. Literal thinking 4. Love routines 5. Sensory issues 6. Repeating people words/ echolia 7. Social cues difficulties

My family insisted "Look at me when I'm talking to you." My masking includes completely staring them in the eyes after years of being forced to.

Literal interpretations of sayings are funny to me because I can see them play out in my head like cartoons!!

Newly found autistic and autism has become almost a special interest to a degree. I'm constantly thinking and learning more about it and I love learning more about it!!! GREETINGS FROM NY

Do you think having other disorders (like OCD, ADHD or depresion) make it harder for an aspie to get diagnosed? Like, they would ask me if I had any special interests but I couldn't say any because my depresion made me lose interest in anything (but later on I thought about it and I definitely had special interests in the past)

I have already been diagnosed.. I got a 49 out of 50 on the test. My wife has me watch your channel, I am obsessed with tech. Thanks for the video.

Along with echolalia comes reciting lines from one's favorite movies... My daughter and I have complete conversations back and forth just using movie lines!

“So I can just sort of overdose on this information” Yes, that is the perfect way to phrase it! So relatable. I am so excited to have finally been properly diagnosed because it is waking me up to this whole world of possibility that there a people who actually understand me and I can understand because we think similarly in that our thought patterns and sensory experience is so very different from the average person. Thank you so much for your videos!

Could you make a video about ocd or how ocd affects you?

Everytime someone says anything REMOTELY negative about me I start thinking that everyone in the world hates me.

I love people within the spectrum. Their souls are so beautiful! Much love to you all!
