I think since they can now Dx aspergers (ASD) it would be wise for you to go for it. It wasn't dx'ed until 1994...& i am sure that my H ( who i left 7 years ago) is dealing with undiagnosed aspergers at the age of 62. Honestly the lack of emotional connection along with his inability to communicate or take over financial responsibility when i got major sick...destroyed the already BAD marriage...that his attitude issues caused before we ever got married. Maybe if I had known what i was dealing with & didn't just think he was being a jerk on purpose the marriage might have been different. It's important to know what you are dealing with or not.
ASD aspergers is a spectrum condition....so you may possibly be on the low end of the spectrum...but it's best to know with a dx rather than guess.
I moved 2100 miles away from my H (still working on the divorce) & after finding out his inability to financially take care of himself...I filed a report with Adult Protective Services to get him evaluated & get a conservator to take control of his financial situation so I can get out of the marriage.
If you get a dx...you csn get therapy to help you in areas where you struggle rather than end up like my H. He couldnt talk on the phone. He couldn't handle situations out of the norm. Stuck his head in the sand & pretended the things werent happening. He never did talk to the IRS & never told me about the letter because he didnt understand it. Then he quit paying property taxes then quit paying the house payment but would never talk to the lenders..house went into forclosure before i found out. Hospital bills were never handled because when i was sick i was depending on him to take care of things as i would have if it was him..but he never communicated that he wasn't taking care of the issues.
I'm sure your issues aren't this extreme...but it's best to get a dx & get help in the areas that bother your life so you don't end up destroying it years down the road
