To think I might have Aspergers Syndrome? (warning, long)
(69 Posts)I'm not sure if this probably should go in health, but I suppose this is as good a place as any.
I don't even know what I want to gain from posting this, defiantly not for a diagnosis. I guess I just want reassurance that I'm not crazy to consider the possibility that I might have it and maybe see if there's other people here who didn't get a diagnosis until later on in life.
For a few years now I've actually wondered whether I have Aspergers syndrome. I'm going to say something quite cliché here but I've always been aware that I'm 'different', even from a very young age, around 5 or so I was always very aware that I wasn't like other people my age. One of the main things is I've always struggled with social situations. I don't always know when it's my turn to speak and often get confused about what is considered acceptable or inappropriate when talking to people. There have been numerous instances where I've said something inappropriate and not realised that it is until somebody points it out to me. Because I don't always know what to say or what is always appropriate means I often just stay quiet. I've been labelled as being shy ever since I was young child which I've always just went along with but I think it's more than that. It's not that I'm shy, I just stay quiet because of the reasons I mentioned above. I'd rather stay quiet than say something completely inappropriate or offensive without realising it and upsetting someone.
General day to day social situations also confuse me so much. This is going to sound stupid but I just don't "get" general chit chat and have no idea how to engage in it. As a result of my social awkwardness I've found it hard to make and keep friends.
I like routine. I always plan things down to the last detail, even something as basic as going to the shop and whenever something happens that means my plan can't go ahead as normal, for example a bus being late or someone I'm supposed to be meeting being late, I get upset and panicked. I like everything done a specific way and pretty much have a basic routine I stick to on a day to day basis and if something disrupts this then like I said before I get really upset. Which is silly, I don't even know why I do.
Then there's the fact I get fixated on certain things. Ever since I was little, I've went through phases of being obsessed with a particular game/tv show/film/book to the point where I think about the subject I'm obsessed with at that time pretty much for a good portion of the day, every day. When I get fixated on the subject, I browse the web on the subject, desperate to find every little bit of information I can, want to talk about it constantly and read/watch/play whatever it is I'm fixated on every day. Then when one obsession ends, it is replaced by another.
Hopefully I'm not going on too much, but I've always also been very sensitive to sound and touch. Loud noises seem to grate right through me and I get annoyed by sounds that other people can't even seem to hear. I get the feeling sounds seem louder to me than other people. I also find it very hard to filter out background noise. If I need to concentrate I need complete silence. I also hate people touching me when I'm not expecting it or even when I am expecting it, I still don't like it. This is embarrassing but I've never actually had sex even though I'm 22. It's not that I don't want to but I hate the idea of someone being that physically close to me. Actually doing something that intimate with someone is just too much for me. Even kissing is often too much for me to handle and can make me panic.
When I first started to suspect I have AS I actually looked it up, thought it sounded a lot like me but there were certain things that didn't fit me and made me think that I couldn't possibly have it because of this or that or whatever. But then not long ago I came across an article about females with the disorder and it made me do a double take.
It was this article I came across originally www.tonyattwood.com.au/index.php/about-aspergers/girls-and-women-who-have-aspergers
I've since did more research on females with it and it seems to describe me down to a t. When I originally looked up the disorder, I didn't realise that females often present different symptoms to males and what I originally read up on it was probably based more around males with the disorder which is why I thought that it sounded a bit like me but not completely and why some things sounded off.
The things that are listed as female specific traits of AS that fit me include: often crying because of emotional overload, clapping my hands whenever I get excited, my obsessions being based around celebrities, tv shows, characters, etc as mentioned above rather than numbers, statistics, etc. Those are just a couple of examples, there are more apparently female only specific traits that fit me too.
However I think I'm actually pretty good at hiding my difficulties I've had which females are apparently better at than males. Even so that does make me wonder whether it would actually be possible to cover it up as well as I do if I had the disorder.
I have no idea about how I would even get a diagnosis either, especially given the fact I'm female and they often get overlooked when it comes to diagnosis. I'm not even sure if it would be even worth getting a diagnosis.
I'd be interested to hear from other ladies who didn't get a diagnosis until adulthood about whether it would be worth it or not.
Please please report your post and get it moved to health,I'm a bit concerned that you may get some very unpleasant responses and you don't need that.
But best of luck and chat to your gp about a referral x
I was diagnosed at 45. Go to your GP and get a referral to CLASS.
Definitely worth a go if you are wondering and yes, it's surprisingly easy to cover it in most circumstances.
Why would I get some unpleasant responses? I think it's probably best if it went in health anyways.
How do I get it moved?
I'm scared that if I go to my GP he'll say I don't have it and won't refer me anywhere. Out of curiosity, dawn, how does it get diagnosed?
I can't comment as, although I definitely have lots of traits I've never been assessed. Both my DDs have it.
Even so that does make me wonder whether it would actually be possible to cover it up as well as I do if I had the disorder.
My DD1 is so skilled at covering her symptoms that lots of her previous school staff believed she didn't have it despite seeing her every day for four years.
It is perfectly possible for you to have covered up your difficulties this well.
What you need to ask now is how a DX would help you. Is it about understanding yourself better, getting support or something else?
I guess it would be to understand myself better. I've went through my whole life pretty much thinking I'm some kind of freak, that there's something wrong with me. Having a diagnosis would also take the pressure off me. By that I mean, my family are aware of my quirks and always try to get me to change them, especially regarding the social situations. If I had an official diagnosis then at least I could tell them there's a reason for it, I'm not just being awkward.
Pepsi people here will find any reason to give a nasty response. This is AIBU...it's an open war zone. Ask to get it moved.
This post resonates with me because after a lifetime of having difficulties with my dad, we've worked out that he has Aspergers. I can tell you that my dad, being in his 70's and his condition pre-dating any kind of intervention, has never really had a proper existence or a real relationship with my sister and me.
See your GP.
I don't know about diagnoses, but DSS is being assessed and I am interested to know what tangible difference it makes to have one.
DSS is 'only' socially awkward, he doesn't display any of the other classic traits (that I read about on the autism.org website).
Hope you get some helpful advice soon!
Your GP would have to refer you to a diagnostic specialist, and you will have to argue your case very strongly with him/her. Helps to make a list of your problems, or take along a filled-out ASD AQ/EQ questionnaire. Only the specialist can decide whether or not you have AS, and this diagnosis takes several hours and you need one of your parents present to give insight into your development as a child.
I was diagnosed by CLASS at the age of 35, so you've not left it too late.
All I'll say is that I coped better before I had a diagnosis than after. Receiving a definitive answer to my questions made me give up struggling in some senses. Whether that was a good or bad thing ... too early to say.
Good luck with whichever course of action you choose to pursue.
And yes, I second getting this thread moved from AIBU.
What do I say if I go to the GP? Do I just go in there and say I think I have it, can I be referred somewhere? I guess my biggest worry is that I'll go in there, he'll disagree that I have it (especially as mentioned above I'm quite good at covering it up) and I won't get sent anywhere. That would just be humiliating.
Im very much the same as you OP and have always wondered.
I don't do well in social situations. DH jokes i am a total control freak because i can't cope with change. If something changes suddenly i get stressed and angry. I don't like being touched either. I've got used to it with DH and DD's but other people no. I can't take it at all.
I never know what to say and always feel like people see me as a silly little girl (at 28) and that no one really wants to be anywhere near me.
I also have an extremely bad habit of just saying what is n my head and not really seeing why people don't overly want to hear it. If you suspect OP go to your GP and speak to them. I daren't.
And im obssesive. To the point of extreme.
I am currently awaiting an appointment to assessed for adhd. Not the same thing but it was easy to get a referral from my gp.
I stated clearly my symptoms and that I'd checked the criteria of WHO, NICE, and DSM, and that I tick most boxes. Still waiting for the consultant appointment, but it is very easy to be referred.
Hope this helps, and good luck
I was diagnosed in my 30s. Getting it confirmed was one of the best things to happen to me. I know that might sound weird but it's true. It's like all the unanswered questions of my entire life could finally be answered. It was also a release from trying to be 'normal' and permission to be the way I am. To be me. Although I still have massive difficulties, I have found peace since my diagnosis.
I'm tempted
Gold mantra, how did your dd cover her symptoms?
I knew a girl years ago who I thought had aspergers, she behave so differently outside school to how she did in school.. I have often wondered how she did it.
Is it really necessary to have one of your parents there? I can't really see them agreeing to come along. They'd probably think I was just being silly and tell me they would know whether I had it or not. They're the kind of people who just disregard this kind of thing. It's happened several times before when it comes to anything medical - just brushed me off and told me not to be silly.
I'm tempted to try and get a diagnosis. Did you have any kind of counselling/ treatment Westie?
I think if you are assessed (I know Professor Baron Cohen's team diagnoses adults) then having a name for what you have always felt will be a positive. If you do have an asd then there are support groups, books, and all manner of many things that could make you feel less isolated and understand yourself more than you do now.
The NAS website has an asd test on it I think.
For what it's worth you do seem to have a lot of the traits that my asd ds has too.
I would highly recommend reading books by Wendy Lawson and Temple Grandin, women with asds that have achieved remarkable things and helped many people.
Hi Pepsi, I was interested to read your post. I've recently been wondering the same thing about myself; I've always felt different, really struggled with eye contact, painfully shy with most people, except those I know well, and spent most of my time reading or drawing in preference to being around people.
I'm in the process of having my 8 year old son assessed for behaviours that I think are explained by Aspergers, and in reading about it, I recognised it in myself. I'm not sure whether to take it any further, so can't offer much advice other than letting you know that you're not alone!
And YANBU!
If I get a diagnosis, I think I'd be the same as WestieMamma
I think it would be a relief more than anything and would explain so much. I've spent most of my life trying to change and always end up failing so if I knew there was a reason for it it would take the pressure off constantly trying to change and justify myself.
I didn't involve either parent in the diagnosis process. I could answer the questions about my childhood well enough myself. If they can't ascertain the relevant childhood information, it doesn't mean you can't be diagnosed. It just means you are more likely to get a diagnosis of PDD-NOS (pervasive development disorder - not otherwise specified) which basically means 'on the autistic spectrum but not enough information to decide whether HFA or AS'.
Being a bit 'odd' is perfectly normal especially in my house I think it's OK unless you think it's making you unhappy.
If it is making you unhappy do you think a diagnoses one way or another would help?
Are there aspects of your personality that you don't like or that cause you problems?
women with asds that have achieved remarkable things and helped many people.
I was worried about that too. I'm only 22 and haven't actually done much since leaving school, just worked in boring dead end jobs tbh however I do have things I want to do. I started college in September and am planning on going to university next year. I want a good career and think I'd be able to do it however I'd be worried about what potential employers would think. Not sure if you have to disclose it or not even if I am good at hiding it.

Speaking of which, I remember when I was young I would spend hours just lining up my felt tip pens and barbie dolls. I wouldn't really play with my dolls, just spent hours lining them up. My mum remembers me doing this but just thought it was a little odd. She didn't think any more of it.
Did you have any kind of counselling/ treatment Westie?
There is no treatment as such but I do get help. I'm not in the UK anymore so it's probably very different. I regularly see an occupational therapist who is helping me with the areas I find particularly difficult. I have a weighted blanket on prescription which helps deep sleep and improves cognitive function. (Sounds like sudo-science, but it's well researched and I'm impressed at what a difference it makes) I also have a phone on prescription to which has special software to help people with cognitive impairments.
I'm also supposed to be getting help from social services. My occupational therapist requested someone come in each week to work with me and help me with structure and planning, particularly around meal planning/shopping/cooking. So far this hasn't materialised as social services are refusing to do it even though we have been through the entire court system and the Court of Appeal have ordered them to.
From your description you sound very much as though you have AS/HFA, and if you print out that post and take it to your GP, they should refer you. Good luck and I hope you get some answers. My DD was recently diagnosed with AS and I see so much of myself in her, it's made me wonder whether to look into getting assessed too. I certainly have a lot of traits and so does her dad, big time!
Dd1 has just been diagnosed with aspergers. Looking at lists I tick many of the boxes
We were at a guide party tonight saw dd1 standing on the edge of a group of the girls obviously wanting to join in but not sure how to then found myself doing exactly the same with the other mothers, stood on the edge of the group not sure what how to join in the conversation. it was quite frightening how we were mirroring each others behaviour, even the nervous body language
AS is complex and simply can't be diagnosed on the Internet. The only sensible advice to give someone who is concerned about AS is to tell them to consult their GP.
I didn't involve either parent in the diagnosis process.
That's odd. CLASS were quite specific that I had to be accompanied by one of my parents. Perhaps different clinics do it differently, and I'm guilty of arguing from the particular to the general.
Coming back to what I said earlier, my diagnosis has enable me to get help that I was never entitled to before, and I am glad of it, but since then I have lost all personal and creative drive.
Thinking about it, that could be because I lost my job and escaped an abusive relationship at about the same time, and have been on various psychotropic drugs ever since.
Perhaps in a few years I will feel 100 per cent positive about diagnosis but I don't at the moment. Like AS itself, diagnosis has been (imho) a blessing and a curse.
By the way OP, Tony Attwood, who you linked to, has written a very good book, called The Complete Guide to Aspergers Syndrome. You might find that helpful.
To be frank, I think you should examine carefully your reasons for wanting a diagnosis before going down this route.
Are you looking for a diagnosis as a gateway to accessing support? (Which may not exist)
Or are you looking for a label that will provide validation and so absolve you of having to work through your difficulties?
I'm almost certainly on the spectrum (as are both my siblings), but I have resisted seeking a formal diagnosis because I know that I would use it as an "excuse". I may be projecting, but your posts make me think you would do the same.
Instead I've read up and worked on some strategies for dealing with difficult situations, e.g. the random social situation that you describe and that I recognise so well. You might want to consider taking this more practical route instead.
(To be clear, I don't think that anything that I've written applies to your DD - practical support may be difficult to access, but does exist for children).
I'm really glad to read this post. I'm in my mid 20s and am wondering the same thing. I've always struggled with social situations, especially group conversations, as well as many other symptoms.
I'm struggling with work due to my social skills. For those who were diagnosed as adults - do you tell your employers? I'm confused as to whether it would be beneficial to get a confirmed diagnosis.
I think previous posters are right that you would need to be assessed, but did want to mention that lots of people share various aspects to varying degrees, so there are many connections that you may make with others.
I also read recently that research shows women tend to obsess in general. It was a developmental book about how to help daughters navigate obstacles and the author's point was that you want to help your girl manage that tendency in a positive way. your obsessing is more 'normal' than you may realize.
For those who were diagnosed as adults - do you tell your employers? I'm confused as to whether it would be beneficial to get a confirmed diagnosis.
I did.
I regret it.
They lost my diagnosis letter, lost the follow-up letter from the clinic advising them about disability discrimination, and refused to perceive anything different about me for three years.
Then I got passed over for promotion (on what grounds was never explained) and my new manager -- who was told he had to have fortnightly one-on-one meetings with me to discuss my needs -- started to bully me.
To be honest, I have not recovered, and I am less than optimistic about my handling at the hands of future employers.
Others may have more positive experiences, but mine are to date unremittingly negative.
You seem to want permission to be how you are. Well, you have it anyhow.
You also seem to want an explanation for why you are how you are. A diagnosis of AS does not provide this - it is simply a redescription of certain behaviours.
I am really not sure what having a diagnostic label, which, in any case, is not cut-and-dried (it involves an arbitrary cut-off point along a spectrum and massive within-syndrome heterogeneity)will buy you.
It's not going to be the answer to all your problems. You'll still have those.
I was diagnosed at 30 after going private and your story sounds very familiar. I'm not only female but married and working which while compatible with AS stood in way of NHS referral.
Drs were under impression that diagnosis wouldbt help me anyway but it has saved my marriage and given me much better understanding of myself.
You are not obliged to inform employers of diagnosis although mine have been very good. If looking for job now I'd probably try to restrict it to employers recommended by other Aspies or with two ticks (positive about disabled people) which may make process take longer but I reckon worth it in long run.
Lizza, I have ASC and it was the most liberating experience to finally get a DX. Of course my 'problems' are still there bit I no longer see then as problems, it's just me. Part of having ASC is the need to categorise and explain how the world works, including your own personality and behaviours. This categorisation provides structure and a sense of security.
OP, I have been in therapy for a couple of years and my therapist and I have spent hours deconstructing and analysing my social anxieties, and discomfort with physical contact, loud noises and various other things, attributing it to negative childhood experiences and hoping that we could 'fix' me. Now I know there is nothing to fix.
I will offer a word of caution about going solely through the NHS for a DX. 4 years ago I asked my gp for a referral. I saw the local mental health team and saw a psychiatrist with my DM. They said I fit some of the criteria but not all. One of the main things that they said didn't fit was that I interacted fine. Also I was apparently lacking in OCD type behaviour.
It wasn't until this year that I found out that they would have used a DX criteria for men, and as a female I present very differently. They still don't have a profile just for females but work is being done to rectify that. I do actually have many little OCD type foibles, but I didn't recognise that at the time. I thought it was absolutely normal and reasonable to only walk on the left (and panic if I couldn't!), for example. My 'interacting fine' is also really common in women with ASC, we are good mimics and can pass off as 'normal'.
With this new knowledge I have finally found someone for a DX. Do some research, find someone who specialises in women with Aspergers. The psychiatrist I saw had no knowledge of women like us, she was a psychiatric 'GP' if you like.
Good luck.
sounds like you probably are to me. Its severely underdiagnosed in girls, but tbh, you have a lot of classic symptoms for both male and female type, so I would say your first point would be to go to your gp, or to contact an autism support centre/group and ask for their advice on what to do next.
Your gp would have to refer you to psychology, and they would be able to start a process of diagnosis
Good luck
Op go for it, go to your GP and ask for a referral. My dd6 has ASD. Why op should get nasty responses is beyond me, I like to think we're a very supportive bunch. I think back in the day, anyone who had Aspergers or Mild Autism were deemed weird or funny, teir was not the awareness and dx that we have now. I suspect I might have been on the spectrum myself, displayed similar traits to dd, but better at coping as time goes on
Good luck
Hullo OP, we'll move this to Health for you.
I could have written your opening post, OP. I was diagnosed at 36 (earlier this year) and it put many things into context for me, both personally and with regards to other family members who I believe have the condition.
To answer your question about getting diagnosed: I put my request in writing to my GP; this was quite a long letter outlining my lifelong difficulties, how these still impact me today, and perhaps most importantly, my belief that there is a strong genetic tendency to the condition on my mother's side of the family.
I was then referred for a formal diagnosis by a psychiatrist (autism is obviously not a mental health condition, rather a neurological one, but ASD diagnoses are handled by psychiatrists.)
You are requested to take along someone who has known you from childhood - this was my mother, in my case. I was formally interviewed by a doctor specialising in ASD diagnoses, using the standard diagnostic manual.
I was told I had Aspergers then and there, ie; verbally, then in written form a month later.
Happy to answer any questions you may have, OP.
Fester I wouldn't use having the diagnosis as an excuse but it would take the pressure off me. I get so frustrated when I try to change things and just end up failing and I think if I had something to explain why I'm the way I am I would be less harsh on myself when I do fail. I wouldn't stop trying to improve things I just wouldn't put as much pressure on myself when it doesn't work out.
My family also criticise me a lot when it comes to the social side of things. Like I said before, I really struggle with general every day things like small talk and they do become quite annoyed with me when I don't engage in social things. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that social situations confuse me so much. I've pretty much summed that side up in my OP though. My family don't get it though, they just tell me to stop being silly, shy, need to speak up more, etc. It's just so hard trying to explain to them that I haven't got a clue how to do those things they want me to do which everyone else finds so easy. If I had something to explain it, I think it might make them back off a bit. If I could show them that there's actually a reason for it, I'm not doing it deliberately and it's not something I can just snap out of just like that.
If my mum has to come along, I have no idea how to bring the subject up with her. I haven't talked about this with anyone in real life. Again I fear she'll probably think I'm being silly.
Something that is worrying me is what would happen if I was sent away for assessment and they disagreed and said I didn't have it? I guess I would just be sent back to square one, with me being just an oddball.
Why don't you try one of the online Aq tests ?
They can't formally diagnose aspergers or autism , but they give you an indicator as to whether you should consider looking for diagnosis .
Having said that ... I scored 40 on an Aq test ( anything over high 20s is indicator you might have it .Its a questionare out of 50 ).
My youngest has asd , my middle child behaves exactly the same way as my youngest but isn't diagnosed ( long story , refused to go to consultant appointments when younger , little one wasn't given the choice )
My dad is generally thought to be asd ( not diagnosed , but completely textbook with symptoms ) .
I've got the behaviours , but was diagnosed with OCD / depression ( often co-morbid to asd ). .
Have sister and brother who are also full of the traits and behaviours .
Best thing I would recommend is have a close look at your relatives , if there is asd in you , it will also be in someone else in your family . Actually , it will probably show in many members of your family to some degree. Some will be more obvious cases than others .
Consider this before you seek diagnosis , will it change you ? No , you will still be you . You might be happier having a " label" . It might find you your place in the world , it might explain why you feel and act the way you do . But it also might change the way others perceive you .
Crittisism of others not doing things the right way , or being right in themselves is ironically one of the things that could be an asd indicator .
( I'm sure the irony will not be lost here ) .
As for feeling like an " oddball " , don't be too hard on yourself . Everyone is unique , asd or not . And by that very thing , because we are all different , we are all oddballs in one way or another . So by being the oddball , by feeling different , you have just proved the point that your just the same as everyone else , a human being .
Having or not having asd , does not make you any less or more a valuable member of the human race . It does not take away any of your talents and qualities . Asd people often have social anxiety , which non asd people also can have . Asd people often have super talents , which non asd people can also have .
Whatever you decide to do , remember there are lots of reasons why your relatives might want to put you off seeking diagnosis , both positive and negative , but they are their reasons , not yours .
You have to do what feels right for you .
If you get diagnosed , then so be it . If you go for assessment and its decided you don't get diagnosed , then that's ok too . It's just something you've looked into , it won't set you back to square one , because you will know for definite , a box will be ticked off .Square one is the point your at now , wondering what to do .
What ever you decide , best of luck , and I hope this little journey your considering has a good outcome for you , whatever path you choose to go .
I was speaking to my mum earlier today and I plucked up the courage to bring up the subject of me possibly having Aspergers and how I was thinking about seeing if I could find out for sure. She didn't seem surprised and told me that when I was about 5 or so, my parents were actually called in for a meeting at school because my teachers were concerned about me. Apparently they told my parents that there was a good chance I was on the spectrum and thought it would be a good idea for my parents to take me to a specialist. However they refused and apparently brushed it off. My mum told me they thought the teachers were overreacting and I'd grow out of it . She then told me that she still doesn't think I have it though. She said I'm just 'quirky' and that AS would just be an 'excuse' for me not to socialise . She then said I just need to make more of an effort.
I'm actually feeling quite upset at this. Just a bit that they just ignored my teachers advice, thinking that they knew best. Feeling slightly ashamed too - I feel if I was diagnosed, they would still think it was an excuse for not being the perfect daughter.
pink, I did one of those online tests a while back. I know they're not always accurate but I did score quite high. Meaning there's a good chance I'm on the spectrum.
My auntie actually has traits of AS, similar to mine actually. Nobody in my family has ever been formally diagnosed though.
The AQ test is about as accurate as you can get. A lot of people seem to ascribe super powers to clinicians who diagnose. The reality is that when diagnosing adults the only information they have to go on is what you tell them. If you have the triad of impairments and explain that to them and how it significantly impacts your life, you will be given the diagnosis. It's very different from diagnosing a child where it's all based on the observations of others.
I kept a record of my consultation so can tell you exactly what it involved.
The first test is the Maclean Screening Instrument for BPD (which has to be ruled out first). 10 yes/no answers. 7 or above indicates BPD (borderline personality disorder). Here it is: psychiatry.ucsd.edu/forms/Mclean.doc
The next is the HAD-scale, which assesses for anxiety and depression. It's very common for people on the spectrum to score high on anxiety.
3rd is the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale. This is a test primarily for OCD, but OCD can be an indicator of autism.
Now we're onto the specific autism tests. The first is the Autism Spectrum quotient (AQ) test, which is considered the dog's gonads of autism tests and is the most widely used and trusted. Developed by the autism research unit at Cambridge University.
The next is the Empathy Quotient (EQ) test. Also developed by Cambridge University as a control test to the AQ one.
The next is a more upto date and detailed version of the AQ test called the Ritvo Autism-Asperger's Diagnostic Scale (RAADS) which the doctor said isn't really necessary but he wanted to do as it's like a second opinion and confirms the diagnosis.
Then the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ). You answer these questions based on how you were BEFORE 12 years of age. For an autism diagnosis the characteristics have to have been present as a child and not developed as an adult. That's what this one is for.
Finally there was a brief structured interview which asked why I thought I had Asperger's, got me to describe my difficulties and how they affect me on a day to day basis.
Two of my kids were extremely reserved at school and a few teachers mentioned it to me. I disregarded their observations as I knew that my DC's were lively, fun and clearly not reserved when they where with their friends or family outside of school.
I am not sure I would think much of a teacher who told a parent that their child might be on the spectrum. That sounds very unprofessional.
Depends on why you want a dx - practically speaking, it isn't going to change anything about your personality, character, or what you find difficult/ hard.
You are just as able to make the personal concessions regarding your own behaviours you feel would be due if you had a 'reason' in your head as not - I'm not going to call it an excuse, more a reason. But you are no more going to have aspergers (or not) after an official diagnosis, than you are now.
I've never bothered. It would make absolutely no difference to my life. I believe in dx for a child, as they can be given support to enable them to put coping strategies in place - as an adult, it is extremely unlikely you would be offered any support (and I wouldn't want any, anyway - the mere idea of someone poking about in my head and expecting me to cooperate is enough to make me run screaming in the other direction (except I wouldn't, because that would draw attention ;-) ) I know what I find hard. I know what I need to do to put coping strategies in place. I am able to, or not. Someone else telling me what to do is NOT going to help - I don't need that sort of validation. I am me.
Two out of three of my children tick boxes and have dx sn. I am a staunch believer in early intervention. I have no interest at all in any dx for me. It would change nothing. I am fully aware of which aspects of myself would tick diagnosable boxes. I don't need a psych to tell me. How can another person know me better than I know myself? I am not interested in their opinion at all.
There are loads of parents of sn kids who only recognise their own traits when their children are flagged - there are a good few threads exploring some folks' own dx as a result. All available by search on here, or reading the sn board.
It is of course, your own choice. Some people do need that external validation. I can't think of anything worse.
OP - I could have written your post almost word for word. I'm in my mid 20s. About 15 months ago I asked my GP if he could refer me for an assessment. He was great and did so straight away. This was after I rang the NAS and got a list of places in my local area which diagnosed adults (none in my county, I was living with my parents on the border of 3 counties).
I was referred back to a mental health clinic where I'd previously had counselling. I had a triage assessment where the woman told me I was nothing like the two men with Autism she had met
After that I saw a lovely lady who said they couldn't diagnos ASD but she had been able to rule out social anxiety which indicated that my symptoms were caused by something else, which may or may not be ASD. But I think she thought I did have it. She told my GP to refer me elsewhere.
He was then told that the county's PCT trust wouldn't pay for adults to be assessed for ASD so that was the end of my journey.
I now live in the London area and have been too nervous to approach a GP about the issue again. I know I hide my issues well, but also that that's characteristic of women with ASD. I get Autism type scores on all the AQ and EQ type tests. I'm glad you posted - I'm bracing myself to go back to my GP and ask for another assessment.
I mainly want it to help my relationships. ASD seems to run in the family. I'm convinced my Father has it. His Father and grandfather and various maternal uncles sound as though they may have had it, but they all died before I was born so I can only go from his descriptions.
I also think my maternal grandfather and my Uncle have it. A lot of people in my family 'make sense' if you look at them considering ASD as a possibility.
I'm relieved to see so many people have managed to get a diagnosis as an adult. I've been diagnosed with Dyspraxia as an adult and I think I also have Hyperlexia and Dyscalculia as well. Unfortunately I have a LOT of medical issues, bowel, bladder, EDS and its companions, Fibro, TMJD, Raynauds etc, some sort of auto-immune arthritis which doesn't have a name yet that I'm worried my GP may think I'm a hypochondriac or that I enjoy the attention of going to the Hospital and getting a diagnosis (I have been accused of this by friends, family and former work colleagues).
Lots of those conditions are well known as conditions which go hand in hand with autism.
Westie I am awaiting the results of my tests, and they were quite different from yours. I am 61, didn't have to take a parent (mine are both still alive, and I think DF has it, and poss DM and DB) - but they are going to ring my mum .
They did a number of tests, pepsi, but I won't describe them in case you have them done, and I would suggest not looking up the other tests mentioned for the same reason. Mine were mostly cognitive, plus there was some structured interviewing, with one assessor talking and the other taking notes. And something called the WAIS, IIRC.
Before persuading my psych to refer me, I did the AQ, however since I am no longer anxious, and mostly no longer shy, and also because I hate, hate, hate routine, my score was borderline. I await my results with interest.
* the tests were different, not the results of the tests.
I've had problems since I was a child but only managed to get an assessment this year at 39. However the assessment came out that I didn't have ASD, despite ticking all the boxes my behaviour wasn't totally in line with ASD. Obviously this may have been because I've spent over 30yrs hiding my true self and learning to conform like a 'normal' person. Apparently I may have got a diagnosis if I'd been assessed as a teen.
So I'm going back for a second opinion. IIRC there's a place in Bromley that specialises in female ASD.
It's so hard because I can see myself in DD and I don't want her to grow up like me.
My DD could have written your post, OP. You sound similar in many ways.
She tracked down a diagnosis as an adult, and it has been life changing in many positive ways (including that her mother finally stopped feeling guilty for having 'failed' her child)
The diagnosis has given her additional protections at work, and more understanding from colleagues, but above all it has given her a definitive understanding that she is not 'weird' but has clearly defined reasons why she is not always in step with the world.
My advice would be that you should chase down a diagnosis, with the strong caution that you use an understanding and helpful GP.
Meglet - my understanding is that it is much harder to diagnose high functioning ASD at later stages because adults have developed strong coping strategies, which are so deep rooted that they blur tests.
I would go back for a second opinion - and ask whether this may be the difficulty with diagnosis, in yourcase
I think it helps if you are lucky enough to get seem by someone who really knows their stuff. My daughter and I were diagnosed by different clinicians. Both said afterwards that they knew what the results would be, it was just a matter of confirming what they could tell pretty much straight away just from meeting us. My husband is even worse, anyone with even a basic knowledge of AS would know within minutes, although diagnosis would take longer.
Be warned though, they use male criteria to diagnose females. I was told my special interests weren't weird enough (reading, writing and music) rather than something like train spotting, the psych actually said this!) and ended up getting a diagnosis of residual Asperger's, Women getting a diagnosis is definitely a feminist issue
devilinside in that case how do women ever get diagnosed? I really wish there was a diagnosis criteria that was used to specifically diagnose females. I think perhaps it is being worked on
Like I've said I'm really good at hiding my quirks, although there are still a lot of people who realise there is something 'off' about me. I was bullied badly from the middle of primary school to all the way through secondary school for being weird. So people do notice my oddities, but I guess not to the extent where it would be obvious that there's something that's causing it.
I should also mention that I've been researching more online today and found out that things such as depression, eating disorders and self harm are common in people with AS, especially females. I've battled depression and self harm from a young age as as anxiety. I have to make an appointment with my GP about that anyways so maybe I should mention getting a referral whilst I'm there?
Going through an understanding GP was a very positive route for DD - they can choose where to refer, and she ended up at a great centre. And then ended up as part of the Cambs research project.
That said, they did say they were amazed she hadn't been diagnosed years before as she scored far lower in tests than anyone expected....but then Aspergers (let alone calling it ASD) wasn't even on the diagnostic register at the time she had real issues! and she has acquired some great coping strategies along the way.
Interestingly, there were a number of questions regarding her early childhood and providing anedotal evidence did help speed the process up.
Pepsi - there is a great forum, where several adults are going through the process of gaining a diagnosis and will be aware of a lot of current things. I could ask my daughter for the link, and PM forward ....if you would like?
I have always suspected I am on the spectrum somewhere and have a lot of the traits described in the OP.
I have considered going to the drs about it but can't really see the point. What good is a diagnoses? I was born like this and I'll die like it. Putting a lable on me isn't going to achieve anything, is it?
As I said before, I think its a case of horses for courses - for DD, it was a big thing. She had a reason for her social awkwardness, and her difficulty with so many 'normal interactions'
She feels that her ASD card is an absolute gift, and knows that she could just show it should she ever become non-verbal in a situation (which has happened pre-diagnosis) and caused huge problems for her.
She also feels that it gives her some protection in the work situation.
Above all, people who were once critical have now become much much more understanding.
On the other hand - her aunt, who shares many of the same traits, would never for a moment consider seeking a diagnosis. As far as she is concerned, she is just fine without any labels.
Above all, people who were once critical have now become much much more understanding.
I'd hope that would be the case.
Update - I have a GP appointment on Tuesday. Hopefully I will get referred somewhere and get some answers.
I have sent you a PM
I hope it goes well with your GP
Good luck with your GP Pepsi. Let us know how it goes.

Beautiful watch. I got it as a present and works well. Lots of compliments.
The watch is a great looking watch. It is a very nice size for a man with thinner wrists, it doesn't look like I am walking around with a frizbee taped to my arm. I did notice one minor issue with the watch, for some weird reason, when the day changed, the writing went from english to spanish, and instead of saying Thu for thursday, it said Jue for Jueves. I simply manually corrected the problem one time, and I have never seen it happen again. Overstock took a hell of a long time to ship it, I was not happy about that, but overall, the watch has been a great looking addition to my style.
It's for my hubby for a present, so we'll see how it fairs on his wrist. I like the product very much!
Everything was great. Arrived on time and was exactly what I wanted for my husband.

I stayed at this hotel in early December 2012 and found the location, service delivery and friendliness of the staff from reception to those cleaning the rooms to be absolutely amazing.
This hotel is comprised of short term apartments or apartment type hotel rentals. This is really handy if traveling with a family as I was. You have a separate kitchen fully stocked with dishes, a stove, decent size mini-fridge, toaster, everything you would expect from a fully furnished apartment and a hotel combined. Everything was very clean and having this setup also allowed you to buy from a nearby grocery store (only about 3 blocks away) as well to save some money and maybe eat healthier.
I found the check-in process to be extremely efficient and friendly. Everyone greeted us and smiled and were really welcoming. The reception person walked us to our room and showed us all of the features. We required a baby cot (crib) to be delivered to the room and despite the room steward not speaking much English was extremely friendly. There was also a hand written thank you note in the room waiting for us from the hotel management thanking us for our stay and a list of different recommended sights within Munich for various Christmas markets. These extra touches go a long way.
The location was unbelievable. Only 4 blocks from Marienplatz, about 1 block from the famous and highly recommended Hofbrauhaus and about 4 blocks from the English gardens. This was truly in the heart of all of the action of Munich.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The hotel is located in a quiet district of Munich, 5 min walking distance away from Bayerische Staatsoper, Maximilianstrasse. Our accommodation consists of spacious and comfortably equipped suites and studio flats whether for a short stay or as a second residence for many weeks. Guests can choose from a total of 54 flats, 42 of them in the main building and 13 in the two summer houses in the courtyard. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Booking.com, Agoda, Priceline and Odigeo so you can book your Maximilian Munich reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

"I absolutely loved how my save the dates came out. Everyone who received them thought the magnet idea was also very creative and unique. When it came to customizing colors and editing designs, it was so easy and the staff are helpful. Every specific detail they can edit to your taste. For example, I felt there were too many swirls so they took as much as I wanted off. This came out just perfect. The quality was also worth every penny."
"The quality of the photo is perfect edge to edge for every single one we had. Our guest feedback loved them as well! Magnet is not too thin and flimsy. Size is perfect, not too big and not too small. 3.5x4.5"
"WE are so happy our save the dates were what we excepted and a little more...they're just not only pretty but the service was good and also they sent ours in spanish, for our spanish themed wedding without any problem...Thank U Weddingpaperdivas..."
"I made several revisions to our save the date card. All of the revisions were made immediately and the proofs we sent to me for review prior to approval. :) very happy!"

Gov. Jan Brewer signed legislation Friday designed to give parents more rights over what the lessons and materials used at public schools.
SB 1453 requires school to obtain "signed, written consent'' from a parent or guardian before using a video, audio or electronic materials "that may be inappropriate for the age of the student.''
The law, which will take effect later this summer, also says parents have a right to review learning materials in advance. More to the point, it says a parent can request to withdraw a student from the activity, class or program if the material is considered "harmful.''
It was that provision which caused several legislators to oppose the measure.
Senate Minority Leader David Schapira, D-Tempe, said the definition of "harmful'' is overly broad. He said it includes not only sexual content or profane or vulgar language but also "violent content.'' Schapira said that could allow a parent to decide a child should not be taught about significant events in world history, including wars and even the Holocaust.
But Senate President Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, said the new law simply reinforces the right of parents to decide what is acceptable for their children.
Brewer gave no explanation of her decision.

D&G: Spring 2012
D&G Spring 2012
D&G Spring 2012
Opulent, silky prints ruled D&G's final runway show — and if you've ever wondered how to wear a scarf more than 10 different ways, this is it. For Spring 2012, Dolce & Gabbana's younger line showed us endless ways to adorn ourselves in silky, luxe prints — halter-tied flowing dresses, mini shorts, tunics, button-downs, wrap skirts, and even silk scarf-wrapped platforms and bags. Hardly any solids appeared at all — save for a denim-on-denim suit and a white button-down adding stark contrast to a pair of tailored silky, turquoise trousers and printed miniskirt. Whimsical and luxurious, we probably wouldn't feel right if we weren't wearing these pieces on a yacht somewhere off the Amalfi Coast.
- Trends: Prints, denim, scarves.
- Colors: Pink, green, blue, orange, multihued prints, polka dots.
- Key Look: The silky, mixed prints looked amazing, but we're particularly obsessed with the silky print tunic over the floral print silk shorts.
- Accessories: Scarf-wrapped platforms, major gold coin drop earrings and necklaces, small printed box clutches, larger, fringe-adorned printed clutches, and straw-trimmed floppy hats.
- Who Would Wear It: Glamorous vacationers and die-hard D&G fans.
3 years
two words; colorful and bohemian.... that's why I find the collection very interesting and inspiring.

The initial version of the Curtiss P-40, designated by the manufacturer as the Hawk H-81, combined the established airframe of the earlier radial-powered H-75 (P-36) fighter with the Allison V-1710 liquid-cooled engine. The year was 1939, and the marriage was one of expediency. With the threat of war in Europe growing by the day, the US Army Air Corps brass wanted a modern fighter that wouldCurtiss P-40 -Snub-nosed Kittyhawks and Warhawks
An improved version of the Allison V-1710 engine gave rise to the Curtiss H-87, which began life in 1941 as the P-40D and featured a completely redesigned fuselage. The shorter and deeper nose of the new fighter gave it a decidedly snub-nosed appearance compared to the earlier P-40 models. Curtiss continued to tweak the H-87 for the next two years in the search for better performance, but the last57th Fighter Group - First in the Blue
Aviation Elite Units (Book #39)
Organized in January 1941, just as the United States was building up military forces for its inevitable entry into World War II, the 57th Fighter Group was the first USAAF fighter unit to go into action in North Africa. It went on to establish a number of other "firsts" during its illustrious combat history in this theater. Flying P-40 Warhawks, the pilots of the 57th entered combat in August 1942Aircraft of the Aces (Book #43)
Thrown into action following the Torch landings of late 1942, the 'green' American pilots flying the obsolescent P-40F suffered cruelly at the hands of seasoned German fighter pilots flying superior machines. Those that survived learnt quickly, and a handful of Warhawk pilots succeeded in making ace by the time the Axis forces surrendered in North Africa. The action then shifted to Sicily andAviation Elite Units (Book #31)
Staffed with inexperienced USAAF pilots and led by a handful of seasoned veterans of the American Volunteer Group (AVG), the 23rd FG was formed in the field at Kunming, in China, on July 4, 1942 and flew combat missions that same day. The group's three squadrons - the 74th, 75th and 76th Fighter Squadrons - were initially equipped with war-weary P-40s handed down from the AVG. These wereP-40 Warhawk Aces of the Pacific
Aircraft of the Aces (Book #55)
The first USAAF fighters to engage the Japanese in World War 2, a handful of P-40s rose to defend Pearl Harbor from attack on the morning of 7 December 1941. Warhawk units were also heavily involved in the ill-fated fight to stem invading Japanese forces in the Philippines and Java between December 1941 and April 1942 and again in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands between January 1943 and MarchAircraft of the Aces (Book #35)
This book details the colourful experiences of the elite pilots of the AAF's Tenth and Fourteenth Air Forces in the 'forgotten' China-Burma-India theatre during WW2. Inheriting the legacy of the American Volunteer Group (AVG), units such as the 23rd FG 'held the line' against overwhelming Japanese forces until the arrival of the first P-38s and P-51s in 1944. The Warhawk became synonymous with theVery Long Range P-51 Mustang Units of the Pacific War
Aviation Elite Units (Book #21)
The pilots called themselves the 'Tokyo Club'. It was a simple task to become a member. All you had to do was strap yourself into a heavily loaded P-51 Mustang, take off from Iwo Jima (a postage-stamp sized volcanic island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean), fly 650 miles north over the sea - often through monsoon storms - in your single-engined aircraft to Japan, attack a heavily defended targetVietnam: An Infantry and Cavalry Platoon Leaders Story
Dennis Scheer was commissioned in the summer of 1969 as a second lieutenant in the US Army through the University of Wyoming ROTC program. He moved to Fort Knox, Kentucky, following in the footsteps of his older brother—down a path that almost got him killed.When he arrived in Vietnam, he was assigned to an infantry unit near Chu Lai. Midway through his tour, he was reassigned to a cavalry troop.

Such a fabulously quick top to put together. Feels great to get those shoulders out. Will feel even better when we get some sunshine!
The pattern is from the May 2013 issue of Burdastyle Magazine but you can also download it here
The most difficult thing about this top is cutting the chiffon in a straight line, other than that, it's a breeze! More info over at ooobop!

Philadelphia Leader Eyes 'Stop and Frisk' Program
Philadelphia's Mayor-elect Michael Nutter wants to employ more aggressive policing with the ability to stop and frisk based on suspicion, not warrants. A recent poll shows that 65 percent of Philadelphians favor the practice.

Stay at Shiodome Tokyo, make me easy to visit this place. Nice atmosphere escpecially in winter time. There are many choices of restaurant as well as other places in Tokyo offer.
Went here for the Illumination and it didn't disappoint. The place is magical and is worth seeing! One of the best illuminations in the area.
the shiodome complex is huge and has so many shops, restaurants and kid fun zones. It's also the gateway to Shiodome and Shinbashi subway stations so very convenient. Great Yakatori restaurant in the Caretta Shiodome basement level.
Located in a business area, it offers lots of restaurants. However, I don't feel it is worth to waste some time just for visiting.
The Caretta Shiodome is a great shopping complex which comes with an interesting advertising museum on the B1 floor which is worth taking a look. There are a couple of good places to eat here as well. The place really becomes popular from late November until the end of the year when their excellent Christmas illuminations are put up. These...

In Tokyo there are many skyscrapers. Some of them have a fee to go to the top. In some there is an expensive restaurant. But if you come to the Caretta building, you can take the elevator to the top (46-47 floors) without asking anything to anyone - and without paying. The elevators have an outside view, so you see...

Staying at the Conrad Hotel, this is a very convenient stop. There is a wide range of food options here, from Subway, Mickey Ds, Din Tai Fung and several ramen shops to many other eateries serving Western style meals. My favourite is a small ramen shop tucked away in a corner of B2, near the florists. There are a also... More
This place is good for some of it's food option and the proximity to the water taxi pier for a nice river trip down Tokyo. Otherwise, don't invest your time in coming down here.
By all means, Caretta offers a lot of choice food wise, and for a different budget ranges. Not to mention that it is set in Shiodome, which is definitely a thing to do while in Tokyo. But, head up in a panoramic elevator, one of the fastest in the city, for an amazing view of the west side of Tokyo.... More
We stayed in Shiodome, Caretta was really handy for a meal. We got lost every time we went in though, and the restaurants closed a lot earlier than we expected. Highly recommend Ichi Ni San for amazing pork dishes.

I worked at Petco full-time (less than a year)
ProsGetting to see the dogs come in, and working with pet owners to find them suitable products to fit their needs.
ConsEmployees that are immature, unseasoned group and assistant managers with poor judgment and inexperienced, Unsupportive DM, Sales goal expectations that are so high there is no chance of meeting them, the constant donation goals to be met, impossibility of hiring experienced staff in a small market, there are way too many things that I could list-but if you are over 30, and expecting to go into the company as a GM, you are going to have some problems.
Going into the job I was pushed to fire a member of the staff from day one, before I could assess the issues of why they were being fired. Into the first 4 months I realized that the allegations made against the individual came from another employee, who was causing problems because they felt I had taken their job. When I discussed this with the offending employee, I was told how they resented me being there, and that they would find a way to get me out. Then I overheard this individual ( a member of management no less) speaking with another manager about how they could get rid of me by making similar accusations. I realized then that such allegations could ruin my career of 20 years in retail, so I left. I tried to approach my DM numerous times about these issues, but felt he was very unsupportive. Every member of management is required to carry a cell phone (at your dime) , and I began to see that this was used as a lifeline for disgruntled managers to part out their frustrations to other store managers-so you had CONSTANT interference from other stores in your building. If they were unhappy, they could "doctor" an area of the store and take photos to send to other managers, or even corporate. Belligerent threatening texts were an everyday fare in my time there.
Because your staff is so young and immature, there is very little work ethic. It is like driving nails to get the basics done with them. Even your group/department managers are young and rather inexperienced to the basic tenets of retail. If you liked high school antics and drama, you will flourish at Petco.
Don't let the money they pay fool you-there was no satisfaction, no peace, no tranquility. And cleaning those nasty cages and tanks-picking up feces, and taking a 3 dollar rat being sold as snake food to the vet and incurring a $150 vet bill is no picnic. In over 35 years of working, this was by far the worst job I have ever worked.Advice to ManagementAdviceDo more investigation into why a General Manager leaves. Do more investigation on sexual harassment issues, especially the ones that are filing them. Listen to your General Managers when they reach out to the DMs. Remove the cell phones from the group managers and assistants-they are just portals to drama that the company is requiring. Watch what your DMs are doing at their meetings and conferences-are they modeling a professional behavior? Stop the boozing and cruising attitudes at these meetings, and the touch football games in the parking lots. At the last meeting I attended I was embarrassed to be a part of this group.

When I click the "Go to Material" link, it is supposed to take me to the project (jingproject.com). I instead am taken to the Jing website. There, I can locate a series of tutorials. Is this correct or was I supposed to be able to view a tutorial that you created?
Laurie Tenzer (Faculty)
Jing is a very useful tool for showing online learners videos and screenshots of how to do something. It is especially useful when teaching computer science, web development, or design classes.
Technical Remarks:
Sometimes there are bandwidth problems with the free version. Videos can be no longer than 5 minutes. This issue can be avoided with a subscription.
Angela Gunder (Faculty)
Jing is fabulous for having both instructors and students capture screen visualizations, but is highly limited by the amount of time for the recording (5 minutes or less) and the lack of the editing features of free competitors such as CamStudio. Still, given the price tag and ease of access, it serves as a potential tool in the instructor tool belt for giving students another channel for dialogue and meaningful feedback.
Gary Ackerman (Administrator)
This is a much-needed tool to educators today. It can be used to cue students to impoprtant parts of documents or web pages and it can be used to give virtual guided tours. The technology is easy to use, largely becasue of the minimalist design.
Technical Remarks:
Download to functioing in about 2 minutes.
Jane Moore (Faculty)
The Jing tool is one that I have used for years. I find it so helpful in the courses I teach---I show students how to access materials in the online classes, I use a Jing video to demonstrate an issue to my IT department....it's fabulous!
Cathy Swift (Administrator)
It took me some time to realize that all there is to this entry is the link to the Jing tool itself. There needs to be some instruction around this entry. Perhaps providing an example too.
Dorinne Banks (Librarian)
I was disappointed in this resource because it was simply a copy of what could be found on the product website.
I love using the product, Jing, for short screencasts.
I think that this would have been a much more effective learning tool if it incorporated screencasts in the tutorial--demonstrating how Jing works.
Patrick Davis (Administrator)
This is a good application. The free version only gives you a small amount of time to make your point (5 minutes). You will need to be concise when recording your video.

Missouri Tigers: 2013 football schedule doesn't include Arkansas
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Mizzou has yet to finish its first season as a member of the Southeastern Conference, but it already knows next season's football schedule.
The Missouri Tigers will play host to SEC powers Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and former Big 12 rival Texas A&M. Mizzou will travel to Vanderbilt, Georgia, Kentucky, and Ole Miss. The schedule will include two Saturdays on which the Tigers don't play.
The schedule does not include border rival Arkansas. The two schools discussed the possibility of becoming permanent rivals.
In a news release, the university said, "The 2013 schedule is considered a 'bridge' schedule and not based on any other previous or future scheduling formats. The SEC Athletics Directors will convene in Spring 2013 to begin formulating schedules for the 2014 season and beyond."
Missouri's non-conference schedule is nearly in place. The Tigers will open the season against Murray State. It then will host Toledo, then travel to Indiana. A fourth non-conference opponent has yet to be announced. It will be on Sept. 14, Sept. 28, or Nov. 16.

Global Star Software has today announced that it will publish Muscle Car 3 for the PC this summer. The game, which is currently in development at 3 Romans, will feature no less than 26 different vehicles from the muscle car era, as well as nine different tracks set in such locations as Rome, Chicago, and Bangkok.
Players will be able to customize their cars with money earned on the illegal street racing circuit, and they'll even be able to take the wheel of a police car in the game's cop chase mode. The game will feature four different modes of play in total, although further details are scarce at present.
Muscle Car 3 is scheduled for release later this summer. We'll bring you more information on the game as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, you might like to check out our playable demo of the game.

The three wings of NWWA – Udyogika, Pragati Welfare Group and Samudri Shop – will display a range of household products, most of which are designed by the wives of naval sailors. Items created by special children of Navy School -- Sankalp will also be on display at the three-day exhibition.
Ragini Chopra, president of NWWA and wife of Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Naval Command Vice Admiral Anil Chopra, was chief guest of the preview of the expo. She said that it was a great opportunity for women to learn the traditional art and become independent. "We want to keep our Indian tradition and culture alive apart from empowering women and giving them an opportunity to present their products in the market," she explained.
Sling bags, stylish mobile pouches, terracotta accessories, paper bags, candle-stands, Shantiniketan leather crafts and jute bags are also part of the expo.
Speaking on the occasion here on Tuesday, Seema Verma, wife of Chief of Staff ENC Vice-Admiral B.K. Verma and group coordinator of Udyogika said that the basic idea was to empower women.
"Their art also helps them set up a business when they go back to their villages post retirement," she added. Shruti Seshadri, wife of District Collector V. Seshadri, and a host of volunteers participated in the preview programme.
The three-day exhibition started on Thursday at Hotel Palm Beach. The timings are between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
