Well I mentioned I was diagnosed with Asperger's, and that was a few years ago. There was some therapy sessions before/after this diagnosis, and also I was trying some medications at the time to, but meds never seemed to work for me and eventually I stopped going to any appointments/medications I was taking because they just weren't helping

I didn't completely agree with the diagnosis then but it was only after I stopped going to the appointments and eventually doing my own research that I came to the conclusion that it's not what I have, I do have problems making friends but its not that I 'can't' make them, it just takes me a lot longer to warm up to people. So i'd lean towards what social problems I have as being social anxiety or effects of having it. When I was diagnosed I was in high school and we went over how I was extremely quiet and didn't have friends, mainly due to always switching schools (parents getting divorced/financial reasons), but that's not to say I can't communicate with people.

And in sophomore year of high school I transferred to a private online school and graduated through that, obviously that shows some indication of me not being able to function in a social environment like that.. So i'd say there definitely is some history of reaching out for help and the online schooling seems to prove that in my mind.
