Relax, the problem is probably a million times worse in your head than in actual reality

Maybe cos it's true?

It's not always though.

I'm a bit apprehensive telling people, unless it's people I know. It's because I know people have opinion on Autism/ Aspergers - such as it doesn't exist, I don't have it, it's an excuse for poor parenting, etc.

I get shy around people, don't like group work and always live in fear that people don't like me

I just don't know how to feel letting people know

I suffer from all these things.

Is it possible I have Aspergers? :frown:

No one has diagnosed me with it.

The ignorance is strong in this one.

The only way is to push yourself and make an effort. There is no other way of overcoming it.

Maybe. But that's not just the criteria.

Tell me all the criteria. Or at least the most important criteria. Then tell me how I can find out if I have it.

I found out a couple of years ago that I am sick.I was extremely forthcoming about my illness.everyone in my life tried to steal from me or tried to take advantage of me,including family you just have to try to be careful.a lot of people are not genuine.

Not necessarily, Not every person that's shy and hates group works has Asperger's.

Indeed. I know people with Aspergers who want to work in groups, etc. I personally don't; but have a friend who does.

Ok. No one has told me what the symptoms are or how I can find out if I have it. All you have said is 'if you do X or act like Y it doesn't necessarily mean you have it' which isn't helpful.

OP, it would be helpful to know a bit more about you, which would help i.e are you in school, college, uni, do you want advice only on telling people, or how to be able to get over these fears or..? :smile:

You do realise that the OP came on here for advice, not to be diagnosing you, right? if you want to know about symptoms and how to get tested for it, google it. it literally took me about 10 seconds to google it and go onto the NHS website.
