I was told that is what I wanted that I was so spoiled. :/<br /><br />I'll check into that reading, It will well worth my time. <br /><br />As far as taking things slowly, yes its very important to me. I hope your adoption search yields results and gives you some peace of mind.Joan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775873193806083833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650289478442133391.post-14848818126552305592014-11-20T12:42:08.686-08:002014-11-20T12:42:08.686-08:00There are online tests for Aspergers, though not c...There are online tests for Aspergers, though not conclusive they can give you some inkling to whether you have the disorder or not. You could bring it up with a counselor or someone then to see if you have it. There is some differences between full-blown autism and Aspergers, Aspergers are verbal while fully autistics are not. <br /><br />I go into some of the causation stuff here. Your mother sounded like an engulfer. <br />http://fivehundredpoundpeeps.blogspot.com/2014/03/aspie-in-narcissist-jungle.html<br />Here is a link for female Asperger traits<br /><br />http://www.help4aspergers.com/pb/wp_a58d4f6a/wp_a58d4f6a.html<br /><br />I hope this helps. I understand wanting to take one thing at a time. I've had to take my adoption search slowly even. <br />Five Hundred Pound Peephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05862707335431442713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650289478442133391.post-63128634448562566262014-11-20T11:10:29.542-08:002014-11-20T11:10:29.542-08:00All the things you are describing I have as well. ...All the things you are describing I have as well. I don't really know what Aspbergers is. I have a granddaughter who is severely autistic, so that I know. I heard they are on the same spectrum, but I don't see how. The autism is very visible. <br /><br />My symptoms, I can attribute to being an ACON, before my awakening I just felt crazy. Now I have the understanding of how my emotions were manipulated during my formative years, and that I was to never leave mother's side or lap, and that I was I was told I didn't want to leave mother's side or lap. I can see how that can have a life long affect on me.<br /><br />Maybe I do have Aspberger's, but I can't figure it out because I have Aspberger's maybe. lol. But I struggle with all the same symptoms as you do. <br /><br />I don't want to overdue the reading on Aspberger's, my ACON recovery is all my mind can handle right now, but I think I may research that soon.<br /><br />It's interesting that it seems to tie into narcissistic upbringing.<br /><br />Joan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775873193806083833noreply@blogger.com
