I think I have autism spectrum disorder

I'm at a bar right now and I can't approach anybody. I feel like I have nothing to say.

Joke..Funny stuff is everywhere, just be careful and know your audience.

Did you go alone?

 

[B0redandl0nely]

No with a friend. I'm diagnosed bipolar and take lithium so I don't know if side effects might be causing my problens. Like maybe it is dulling my personality a bit. I drank quite a bit on top of everything. When I wasn't talking to people, it frustrated me so I went out to my car and I banged my head with my fists cause I really wanna talk to people but I feel so dull and blocked.

What are your interests? What do you enjoy talking about?

 

[AlexKaiser]

Just get the target to talk about themselves. Bring up something that would get their mouth running. They got a tattoo? Ask the story. They here alone? ask the story. They tell you their night was hard, ask the story.

Pick things from the stories they tell you and keep it going.

Get off that anti-depressant crap. You need to eat right and balance yourself naturally.

The whole "chemical balance" thing was made up by people who sell (wait for it) chemicals.

I enjoy asking people about themselves. I like sports, music, movies, health and fitness but lately I haven't been interested in much of anything because I've been so miserable living in my parent's house. I seem to complimenting girls more than getting the story. Does that sound like autism?

I'm worried about having autism. I don't wanna be autistic. Maybe I should see an expert to tell me either way. I can't stop thinking about the possibility of being aspergers.

It's hard to be confident bringing a girl home when your home ain't your own.

If I recall correctly complimenting girls is a bad idea since everyone does that? Make your compliments a rare delicacy for them.

I don't know what you want me to do...

I'm not totally sure I have it. I've just become really awkward. Do I seem like I have it based on what I'm saying? Like I have people right now in front of me having fun and playing games and I can only post on this forum. I notice myself just smiling when I can't hear people. The bar is loud.

 

[B0redandl0nely]

I don't mean loud as in it's bothering me. I can't hear people or project my voice

 

[B0redandl0nely]

Like no one is talking to me. It's scary

Post a picture of yourself, I can usually tell if they have the accursed A just by looks.
