Suggest Therapy For Asperger S Syndrome

Hi my name is Camila, i m from Brazil, 28 years old. I suspect I have asperger s syndrome and here in Brazil doctors are used to only diagnose boys with this problem..so being a girl and 28 makes things really hard. I ve always felt like i was different from the other people...in my intire life i had only 1 close friend and when she dicided not to talk to me anymore it didn t make me sad...I knew i hadn t done anything wrong to her so it was her option talk to me or not. After that I didnt have really close friends, It s not like i dont like to anyone, i do like a lot of poeple that i know, but it s hard to me to get closer and spand much time with them...it s hard to me to keep a conversation...I feel like i just have superficial relationships ....but to be honest i have never noticed it was the way I act, since i was reading a magazine and found an article about Asperger s, i had never heard about that, and the first 3 lines i read i knew it was my problem. I have some special interests also that are quite bizarre, I like to simulate buys on the internet only for fun....specially school uniforms...yeah i know it s bizarre. but those special interests always change in times by times. well I guess i ll stop here...what do you think?

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Ninety percent of Asperger diagnoses are for boys. Not because girls don’t have Asperger’s, but because it’s so much harder to identify in girls that they go largely undiagnosed. Asperger’s is a developmental disorder that’s almost impossible to self-identify because central to the dysfunction is very poor social skills. But poor social skills means that you are missing social cues which means that you don’t know you’re missing social cues.

The following four symptoms, if you have, you can be sure of your Asperger.

1. You are out of step socially in terms of grooming or sex.
2. You are disorganized in surprising ways
3. You are unpredictably detail oriented
4. Moving from one thing to another is difficult

I went through the given symptoms. But I will not fully believe them because, when you believe that you have Asperger, the symptom list would be biased. I suggest you to consult a psychologist with non-biased mind. Please do not exaggerate. Let the psychologist help you with diagnosis.

Hope this answers your query. Further clarifications are welcome.
Good luck. Happy New Year. Take care.
