Hi, I haven't been here for a while but since there have been several incidents happenings which I couldn't figure out, I decided to do an online test to figure out what is finally wrong with me. I scored very highly on Asperger's test; some of the questions were"Yes, that's me!"

-loud, disturbing noises( have to cover my ears when a siren goes by)
-inability to understand social expressions(such as when I irritate someone)
-"immature" interests( that's what I read somewhere)
-inability to fit in a group(social interaction).
-need to spend time alone after social interaction.

Anyway, the main one was a feeling of not having a guide to life-sort of a user manual-like "I don't get it'.

These symptoms come out even more when I'm stressed or overwhelmed. There isn't much recognition where I live of what Asperger's is.Autism is recognized but high-functioning Asperger's hasn't been yet...

I don't talk much about it but it seems to calm down when I'm not stressed and have spent significant time alone.

I hope the dx is right because it would explain a lot of things. I was wondering what you guys do on a daily basis to deal with this?By the way, I'm 47..
