  1. I know I have Asperger's although I've never been diagnosed. I have many symptoms such as remembering every detail and then going into overload where I just have to shut down. I get obsessed about subjects where I spend hours reading about them. I'm very clumsy and my handwriting is awful, although I have normal intelligence so could never understand why I had such awful motor skills. I also find social situations scary and I have to try to do the eye contact so I look normal. The only things I don't have is that I have a sense of humour in that I'm obsessed about comedy, and I do have empathy towards others. Can those two things stop me from being diagnosed with the condition? The thing is, I'm not sure if to just stumble through life despite what some people might not call normal, or if to get diagnosed so I can have help? I don't know how to get diagnosed as I'm worried about looking stupid when going to my GP and them dismissing me without giving me a proper referral and they might wonder why I suddenly decided I might have it as a female in my 30s and think I'm a hypochondriac, as the only thing I have diagnosed so far is panic attacks and anxiety. Is there another way to get diagnosed apart from going to my GP?
