Wife thinks I has Asperger's
Posted on 2/27/20 at 12:27 pm

My wife has self diagnosed me as having mild Asperger's.
Gave me a 50 question test without me knowing what it was and I scored "very mildly Asperger's".
I disagree and she's kinda pissed about it.
For background....
Her friends apparently put this idea in her head. Because, I don't make lots of eye contact in social settings.
She feels that my lack of deep emotional friendships is a result of Asperger's. I explained most guys don't have super deep emotional relationships with other guys.
I'm a STEM guy. Was collegiate athlete, normal guy. Moved a few times after college for career. Admittedly I was a bit of a "Rambling Man". I've got long term friends. Don't meet many new people, but I just think it's due to job and just not really caring to.
I'm a very black and white thinker. Give me numbers not emotion!
I admit. I'm not touchy feely emotional. I keep shite bottled up. Because TBH my problems really aren't too bad. I'm healthy, good paying job, etc.
I'm not antisocial, I just sometimes don't care to deal with people. It may be that TBH lots of people are dumbasses or deuchbags and I just don't have time for that bullshite.
I like animals, like socializing with select group of friends. Volunteer with Special Olympics. I just hate assholes, lazy people, and just cut interaction with such people out of my life.
She got agitated that I disagree wholeheartedly with her assessment.
Thoughts?
How to proceed?

Tell her that her friends are whores and then make up an arbitrary test that says they are indeed whores.

Reverse the whip on your wife and her friends. Keep total and complete eye contact with them until they get to the WTF point. Lock in on their asses.

It's probably just your grammar.

Women usually think this about men.
But based on your OP, you are probably a pretty dry person. Loosen and warm up.

By the way, Asperger’s is no longer a specific clinical diagnosis (subsumed under Autism Spectrum Disorder).

Let her be agitated... and go on being you.....It not like you could take action to do anything about it anyway.

The subject line of this thread and picturing the conversation of your wife telling you that she thinks you have aspergers made me laugh.
