Aspergers/autism

How would being analytic make having a faith difficult? Thomas Aquinas was analytic and you know his faith...

 

I'm just speaking of my own experience with it. (I'm an Aspie too, not sure if I made that clear)

I am not an Aspie, but I have a very dear friend, a spiritual son who is, and he is also bipolar. I am hoping to learn anything that I can in order to help him. Thank you and God bless you.

I totally forgot about this thread until it was resurrected.  I never did finish pursuing an "official" diagnosis because I sort of forgot about it in the grand scheme of things - full-time school and then full-time job.  Now that I'm dating a guy with Asperger's, I often wonder again if I have it, too.  I look back on my childhood and can definitely see some "red flags."  I recently took two online quizzes and one was the Aspergers Adult AQ Test and I scored 43 on it answering truthfully about my current outlook and my childhood.  The other said I had a high likelihood of ASD.  It may explain why I experience great anxiety with new social situations and stress at work (I work at a fast-paced job which can be particularly stressful in times of low staffing).  I think I may ask my therapist when I see her again on Monday if she is familiar with any adult resources for those who suspect they have ASD and are seeking an official diagnosis.
