Autism, Asperger's, and gaming.

I would venture to say atleast 50% of the the emu community is asperger/autistic.

So you're not alone.

As a spectrum condition everyone falls somewhere under the diagnosis.

Long time ago I correctly diagnosed my friends GF as having asperger(they went to the doctors and got the diagnose just a lil later on)
I had no idea about asperger, I just googled all the quirks and it matched up.
Good luck!
And hope you doing well Cecily <3

Interesting troll thread

Modern culture is obsessed with labeling and identifying everyone. Stop it. Just be you and enjoy yourself.

Not sure if OP was trolling or not but whatever.

I heavily suspect that I have aspergers/autism/whatever and was never diagnosed. I understand they don't really diagnose adults with it anyways.

I was looking into the symptoms when we suspected the same of our son. Everything just clicked. My whole life just kinda clicked together and it explains so much of how I am. On the one hand, it was very relieving to know there is a reason that I am the way I am. On the other hand it was depressing to feel like it's never going to change and I'll always be this way. I've been able to lead a mostly happy and fulfilling life despite the struggle so I guess all is well that ends well. I guess I've gotten really good at 'faking it' over the years and I doubt most people who know me as an acquaintance would suspect.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nope, no trolling. Thanks for being the one of the few to take my post seriously.

I Was away for the remainder of the week on a camping trip. When it comes to social situations I too have become extremely good at faking it. However there are many times where I'm pretty much unable to understand some social aspects of peoples lives.

I too am not officially diagnosed but am currently seeking counseling with an Autism specialist to get a better understanding for how to work around the issues. I can relate that it's good to know why, but yes, it is also kinda deflating to know that I have limitations.

We have a lot of transvestites on this server. Not sure about autists though.
