I Have Aspergers Syndrome

I have always been quite contrary to the rest of my peers and other people surrounding me in my everyday life. It wasn't until around 5 years ago that I was taken my GP to be assessed, my parents were under the proposition that my peculiar behaviour and mannerisms were due to my OCD, which I also suffer from. My mother then happened to come across an article in a magazine about the Autism spectrum and the different types and severities of the condition and the symptoms. Shortly afterwards I was taken to my GP and given assessments, and now that I think about it, having Asperger's does explain a lot of things. Such as, my unwavering interest in Mathematics and science, how awkward I am around people, how emotionally detached I am compared to other people and my sensitivity to noise and dislike of physical contact.

Currently, I do not take any, but I have in the past, and yes I'm employed

Do u like changes ? My bf has the same thing. I'm just trying to understand more about it
randompi · 22-25, F
No I don't really like change in general, unless it is for the better. Most of the time I don't really think it is necessary though

Do u have anxiety?
melissa001 · 51-55, F
May I ask what type of job u have?
randompi · 22-25, F
I have had experience with it, however I can't feel it or recognise when it is happening - I am unable to recognise/express many emotions. Generally when I am suffering from anxiety I tend to tense my muscles up and become quite stiff in my movement

And I work in a pub
