Didgee Eeyou, thanks for your feed back,

I misworded relationship issues, and like you mentioned social communication issues is a better explanation, I have trouble with verbal/non-verbal communication as well, having to always pause and ask myself questions while in a conversation, worrying about what to say, what the other persons means by what they say, saying something wrong or out of place/irrelavent. And I tend to either miss or take things the wrong way, I have trouble with sarcasm as well. I have a very litteral mind.

I also take my visual impairment and an unfused bone in my left ear into consideration, as well as not ruling out other conditions, I do have social anxiety. and I do understand that AS can and is harder to diagnose in female due to a number of issues. But after doing a research paper in an english class a few years back where ASD was my topic, I read up more on AS and it seemed to make a lot of sense to me, it even made sense to my Mom up to a certain point. Given my lack of social communication skills sice early childhood, my cut off of oxygen at birth for 10+ minutes, lack of showing affection towards others, being hypersensitive to touch, crowded places, and other sensory issues.

The empathy part like you said is misunderstood though, because for me it is completely internal, not external, I care deeply for others, sometimes too much. So that made more sense.

Again thank you for your feed back, Im definatly going to bring this up to the pdoc on the 17th and probably my therapist on this upcomming monday as that is my next appointment.
