Have you ever considered getting tested by a professional specialized in autism? You could learn a lot of things about yourself, and maybe he could tell you some ways to overcome your vices and weaknesses.

I have an assessment next week actually, pretty anxious about it

I already have a bunch of mental problems, don't need another label

Asperger is not exactly a mental problem.
I mean, it can create problems, but is not like schizophrenia

I got diagnosed at age 3. I could notice a big improvement when I got involved in gymnastics and wrestling. I do wish I'd done a team sport like football so I could learn teamwork better.

I actually took one of those online tests, and most of the questions where just the run of the mill "do you like socialising?" shit but there was some very specific things about walking on toes, rocking while stressed, whistling the same repetitive tune over again etc that was scarily accurate.
Is it worth talking to someone about it if I'm not struggling too much?

>ways to overcome your vices and weaknesses.
I'm on the spectrum (mild PDD-NOS that people wouldn't recognize unless I told them) and you never really "overcome" this stuff, you just adapt to work around it to some degree.
Picking up social cues has gotten better as I've gotten older (28 now), but I still notice there's something missing when comparing myself to others.

Any of us who were diagnosed later on either during late teens or twenties?
I wish someone had noticed sooner but I guess i’ve always been relatively high functioning, enough for my parents to brush it off as me just being weird. I’ve never managed to make friends or keep them well (usually the very few friendships I did have when I was younger it was usually the other person doing all of the work/talking and I ended up just following them around sometimes I guess but I ALWAYS fucked up and they got irreparably mad at me usually because I wasn’t talking to them as much as they’d like/isolating myself to which they took offence or i’d say something rude, so not many of them lasted very long at all.) Whenever someone yelled at me it hurt my ears, I would break down and go to the bathroom and turn all the lights off and sit there rocking, my parents just thought I was being a brat on purpose.

I’d say it’s worth checking out user, you should check with your Doctor if it’s something you want to go through with.
