intp, i'd ask yourself this question as well, how were your motor & co-ordination skills when young?
If you didn't have this, i.e bad balance (could you ride a bike?) then i'd say Social Anxiety could be possible.

I'm not sure what viking9 intends to say. No motor and coordination problems when you were young doesn't rule out Autism Spectrum Disorder. I never had motor and coordination problems, but I do have Asperger's.

Welcome, intp!

I'm new here too, and I'm also not sure whether I have AS, though the more I read and learn about it the more convinced I've become. Social phobia never adequately explained me to me, neither did my personality type, INFP. Neither did a lot of other things I've wondered about through the years. But when I finally came across information about AS, it was like, BINGO -- that's me! I don't fit every single trait I've read of that relates to it, and because I'm female it manifests differently. Still, when I look at all I can learn about it, things just add up -- from the time of my earliest memories. It's as if someone sat down and explained my whole life to me.

I hope you find the answers you need, because I know that just learning more about AS is helping me immensely.

@ viking9:
Motor and coordination problems / no motor and coordination skills, are not among the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorders, stated in the DSM IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition), see my reply in your own thread where you introduced yourself.
