What Are The Symptoms Of Autism And Asperger S Syndrome?

I am trying to self diagnose a lifelong set of conditions, wondering if I have a touch of Autism or Asperger s syndrome. The first symptom is that I have always had a hard time with social interactions, never had many friends as a kid, was always in trouble for talking in class, etc... I have a hard time grasping on to new subjects, and usually takes me quite a bit longer to understand basic concepts, but seem to excel at simple math. I tend to say what s on my mind, without much thought to what effects it will have until after I have expressed myself.

Hello,



By what you say I feel that you might be having an autistic spectrum disorder and you will definitely require a psychological evaluation rather than as self-diagnosis. I suggest that you get in touch with a clinical psychologist as soon as possible.



Hope I have answered your query.
