For anything such as ADHD, bipolar, Asperger's so on...
Or know anyone who has something like that?
At college they tried to diagnose me with AS. Have you met anyone with it? What are they like? I expect to get flamed for this but, you have asked for advice so I offer it here. Please don't accept labels or professional jargon. The professionals will keep inventing new mental illnesses for professional purposes. The labels mean nothing and the jargon is just jargon. If you don't talk much, it doesn't mean that you don't talk enough. Much less does it mean you have AS or ADHD or OCD or any other "disorder". You are the only one who can determine whether or not you have any problems. If your quiet demeanor causes trouble for you, then you have a problem. But I suspect that is not the case. You are the expert on you. Don't let the "experts" make you feel bad about yourself. They have a vested interest in knowing it all and just as big an interest in agreeing with each other. That is why all these new words are coming into our language. They mean nothing. I hope that helps.

I am not flaming you and I understand your point, but legal-wise, the 'labels' are imperative in assistance with things like receiving services, public assistance, even accessaride and HR assistance with work. The labels are official documentation of your disability or disorder.

Yes. Diagnosis Murder. Got the complete series on DVD. I love that show too. Did you like Jack or Jessie more and did you see the 'Murder 101' movies which also had Dick with his son Barry and were similar to the show?![I love that show too.](https://s21.postimg.org/xjw8eeqiv/image.gif)

My Brother In Law has Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD and my youngest niece has Autism and is really smart for her age. I wouldn't be surprised if I have OCD 'cause I am obsessed with collecting things like albums, books, movies, teddy bears and games but I don't have a diagnosis for it. ![](https://s33.postimg.org/7bz4sfsyn/mime_jr_sprite_by_momogirl.gif)

With regards to the criteria he meets?
I've seen most episodes of DM I think. I remember Jack and Dolores disappeared after season 2. Norman went after season 4.

I hope that helps. the problem is finding people I have an interest in and want to talk to but are the same way towards me. there are many I like but they don't seem to have an interest in me. so what can I do? talking isn't a problem. I could go for hours a day.

I buy multiple copies of certain games, shows, movies and CD's. I figure it doesn't hurt to have back ups.

@ deembastille At college they complained about me being quiet, not saying much, not talking to others. They did complain about some other stuff, such as lack of eye contact and not smiling, but mostly they complained about me being quiet. I remember at school one time I looked at the register and next to some students names there were words, for me the word unpredictable was written there. I don't view myself as being like that. In my experience most don't have an interest in me and don't want me talking to them. So they are glad I don't talk to them. People online and offline have described me as being annoying and boring. I have no problem talking but in my experience most don't want me talking to them. They have no interest in me, differ to much with regards to interests and personality. Some people have been arrogant, condescending, mocking towards me. But how can you be unpredictable if you never spoke? Its predictable that you wont speak. Its unpredictable if you always say and do crazy shit. Clearly they were wrong.
Sometimes, you just have to be you. However, trying to be more social is never a bad thing. Just try to pick on social cues, like when a conversation is over, or when a person doesn't want to broach a certain subject. knowing when to move on is key.

I prefer shorter more frequent conversations over less frequent longer ones.
