"You are very likely an Aspie" (NBPM pt.27)
15 years ago
One of the things my boo 
semjay does is figure out medical conditions for me and such. For example, she spot-on called my low-T problem. Another thing she's saying (that I've suspected/known for a while) was that I fit the criteria almost exactly for Asperger's.
This got brought up on the way home from seeing Tangled, which was a fantastic movie. You should go see it. Maximus the horse is SO much like Qoppa-dope.
I mentioned how my maternal grandma died when I was about five, and the one really strong memory of her was once when my family left me with her for some reason. She was watching me, and I felt really shy and uncomfortable, so I hid behind the chair and asked her to stop looking at me, in a cute way of course.
I found a neat little 150-question quiz on Ass-burgers, so I tried it out. Here's my result:

"You are very likely an Aspie". Yeah, no shit. But the best part is you can see all of my responses to questions and how they line up extremely well with somebody with the disorder.
I'm still convinced the term is just a clinicalization (is that a word?) of unusual personality traits. Ok, so I'm just a little crazy and eccentric. Whatever. I'll roll with it. But I don't like using the term at all because of all the dipshit furries/nerds/losers that use it as a golden ticket to act like a fucktard. "Oops, I pissed on your house, I have Assburgers, so it's ok." It's been abused to death and I don't want to be associated with that, you know?
Still, I do find that it applies to me to a ridiculous extent. Sema's not afflicted with this, so it does cause quite a bit of friction in the relationship. I have routines and aversion to change and very (VERY!) narrow interests, and it drives her bonkers. Like today, I wanted to do some coding for fun, and I eventually got into 'the zone', a.k.a. that hyper-focus super-power that only autism-spectrum disorder and/or radioactive spiders can give you. I was having a blast, then Sema needed help with something. I got all bent out of shape about being interrupted, she got upset with me, and I wasted the next couple of hours mulling over the whole situation (and playing with the dogs). My self-esteem might come back in a week or two. Take my picture and slap it on a Wheaties box, 'cause I just set the record for fulfilling pretty much every Aspie criteria in the book.
I guess what I'm looking for is advice. What should I do about it/What have others done? Do I need to talk to a psychiatrist? Is there a support website to help the poor souls that have to live with schmucks like me?
Tah-dah, yet another astonishing relevation about me. First the low-T, then TG, now ASD. I have a feeling that they're all loosely related. Isn't NBPM fun?

Essentially that is all any condition is. A differ from what is considered the medical "norm".
