I was diagnosed with Asperger's too when I was a child. Nobody ever told me what it was, they pretty much ignored that they were told that, and I never understood what it's supposed to mean. I never concerned myself about that, just that most people always seemed to think differently than me and were a lot more mean spirited than me... :unsure:

Exactly what I told myself when I was young (but I was never told about that at all, in fact nobody knew what I had). At that time, I thought that I might be an alien, or a robot, for being so different.

The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

Were you ever officially diagnosed, fafner?

In any case, it sure looks like you know this disorder as well as anyone. It's amazing how you can recognize it so accurately (well, I suppose it's very easy for you, but for me it's amazing! :lol: ).

Why am I not surprised? :D I's so great that you found a job that suits you so well! :)

I didn't even try to talk about that to a doctor. I'm sure I will be bumped from doctor to doctor without any able to be really sure. On my side, I have almost no doubt (too many correlations with almost no reason to think otherwise).

You know, about 10 years ago I could have written what PuppetMasterKuruku juste wrote. And 10 years ago I had roughly the same age as him/her. So really no surprise here :p
However, I didn't say I thought he/she had Asperger syndrom, even though I had exactly that in mind ;)

And since I know from experience that you need a threshold of at least 99.9% to be sure of something, I guess that says a lot! ;)

BTW, without having any clue that you might have Asperger syndrome, I had noticed that you tented to be extremely logical, and you know what? I like you just that way! :wub: It makes for different and interesting discussions! :D

Well...

...it looks to me that you might have autism or some other pervasive developmental disorder. I recognize in you the same hate for bureaucracy as I have [...] I have Asperger syndrom...
Maybe, when you read something like that, it's not enough for you to jump to conclusion, but for the minority of us here who doesn't live with Asperger's ( :lol: ), it looked just like that. ;)
