Saying Awkward Things

I’ve been introspecting lately, and I’ve noticed that a recurring theme in my life is that, for a quiet person, I’ve said a lot of socially unacceptable things throughout my life, even when I was little. I’ve alienated more than one or two friends for life with some strange things I’ve said. On a possibly related note, I’ve never had a girlfriend before and, since I was little, have had some really odd ways of expressing my attraction. So there has to be some kind of diagnosis for all this, right?

A small degree of autism sounds like it fits what your are describing.

@SW-User I took an online test. I scored 24 out of 50. I had to pay $3.99 to read my results. It said 0-25 indicates few or no autistic traits. I also read an article describing 10 signs that you might have Asperger’s. About half or maybe a little less of the traits I thought, that definitely sounds like me, but the others didn’t seem to describe me at all.

@Theyitis yeah thats why i said small to not get you worried, becuz its a spectrum disorder meaning if u are high on the spectrum u cant function in society but if u are low on the spectrum u have some quirks but u can still function in society (why they call it high functioning autism)

So its a spectrum and they can talk about it and write about it all they want but its a thing in the brain and noone can measure it so noone really knows how low the spectrum goes. To me it sounds like you are super low on the spectrum and on the fence tbh so its nothing to worry too much about, just keep in mind ur like this in social situations and correct urself when needed, if u feel the need to apologize for something awkward u said its best to do it right away and explain u have some social quirks, thats it and than move on.

Also if u do happen be low on the spectrum and you married someone else who was, ur kids will end up much high on the spectrum, keep that in mind just in case
