Always important to remember that you shouldn't worry about these things until you've been properly diagnosed.

I have to say Wow also -- I scored 38. I was long ago diagnosed with something called Avoidant Personality Disorder, which in recent years I've been told is considered to be on the low end of the spectrum that contains Asperger's and autism. No wonder I'm weird!! The fear of people is a serious and life-screwing problem, but I have to admit that I make my living working with language and computers, both things that require working with complex patterns. I guess if I can make a living with it, it can't be all bad -- LOL!

I was zero too, I have been working with autistic kids for nine years, I didn't know if some was rubbing off, it feels that way...

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
