Don't be so negative, just look for a job where they expect applicants to have poor social skills!

I don't have the skills to look for one.

I don't have much of a social life but I'm still interning for a county newspaper. And luck permitting I'll have my BA in Multimedia this spring.

Well, i have talent but socially i'm so scared i didn't function even as lonely computerprogrammer. Also looking for jobs certainly requires social skills, when i only imagine to sollicitate on one, i freeze and quite. Don't expect many people will understand ...

...and that's why I want to become a psychologist. After getting the 'good, you're qualified for psychology!'-thing it's simply a small formality to get a job, my father - who is a workexchanger (how the heck do I say it in english?) - explains.

I know, but will you be a good psychologist, will you be good to your clients or will it only be good for you ?

Interviews do, sadly.

If I can relate with most of the 'asperger' traits, what is the likelyhood of me actually being one without having been diagnosed formally by someone qualified to diagnose this sort of thing?
That's the funny thing about Asperger's. It seems that quite a bit of it is what people normally are. I guess there's a threshold of having x amount of traits before being diagnosed with it.
I know for a fact that I don't have Asperger's, yet when I was first reading up on it I kept saying "Me....me....me....me....". I guess it just depends on how many of the traits you have.

It is more complicated than *akward teen boy*-ism. Its been desrcibed to me as the lowest on the scale of autism.
I figure that many smart teenagers display some traits of Aspergers at some point (even enough perhaps to get a faulty diagoses, like I did in middle school)...just like most people show some traits of ADHD, but don't actually have the disorder.
I think of the trademarks of Aspergers, besides savant ability to social slowness, would be speech patterns...repeating a few sentances or words over and over again, without regard to meaning or context.

Do do I do I do I? I haven't I haven't I haven't I haven't noticed noticed noticed.
Probably not that high, as most likely you're just seeing into the traits more than what you actually are.
