Do people notice ppl with slight aspergers?
-
I have slight aspergers. I was wondering because I come off as eccentric to most people. Do people know I have aspergers since the disorder is not well known. I don't want ppl to see me as aspergers. They think I'm probably just a little weird or messed up? Especially since girls are very intuitive is this why I can't have a relationship. I don't know if I cank live a normal life. :( I just need somebody to give me a straight answer. Because I don't know if my friends and family are telling me the truth or there just lying to make me feel better about myself.

Answer:
I can sometimes. I work as a substitute staff member in our local school district. I don't even know the student personally, and I can pick up on certain behavior characteristics. Sometimes I noticed children who play alone in the play ground are different than the other students.

No one will know you have Asperger's unless you tell them. It is not obvious. A few people who are knowledgeable about Asperger's might guess, but most people will not. The majority of people you know probably think you are odd or socially awkward. If by a normal life you mean going to college, living independently, having a career, having a relationship, and other typical activities, people with Asperger's are capable of all these things. It may take more time, effort, and support, though. Keep trying and don't put yourself down.

People don't notice me, and I have solid Asperger's* But that's taken hard work, study, observation and practice. And it's not changed me or my preferences, just better equipped me to meet the standard conventions and expectations of mainstream society (however odd they are). Trouble is, doing that means I'm constantly playing an "away game". And you are pretty much right: more intuitive females tend to spot that slight delay as you process the "right thing to do" and tend to read it as being artificial, wearing a mask. So the other thing I do, more as I've got older and more confident, is be myself. Tell people I think will understand (or at least be prepared to be taught) that I have Asperger's, and explain a few things they can do to make me more comfortable. A bit of adjustment going the other way. That can be such a relief. And a better basis for building friendships or relationships, with the admittedly minority who can handle it. I'm not in the slightest ashamed of having Asperger's but I don't go around announcing it simply because so many people are prejudiced and tend only to do acceptance on their terms, and because others simply have mistaken ideas about it, and are either nervous or start talking to me as though I had an IQ of 60 (which is annoying when it's around 140). *I asked, when diagnosed, if I might be a marginal case... "No, solid." was the reply.

No one noticed i had aspergers for a long time, i was misdiagnosed with adhd. people saw me as weird, and because i had no clue socially, i didn't know how to just blend in so no, people dont tend to notice

Normally, people will not notice. Like you pointed out, you'll more than likely seem eccentric to them rather than anything else. The only people who can tell are those who are more often involved with people who have Aspergers.
