Hello, I've just joined this site.

I don't know if I would actually be classed as having AS.
I've read a bit about it recently and I certainly recognise many of the traits associated with it in myself and my behaviour, some very strongly. The results of informal online tests have indicated AS too.

I've suffered from Social Anxiety since childhood and would have always attributed most of my difficulties with social interaction to this and the consequent lack of experience in social situations.
Other 'peculiarities' I'd have put down to OCD.

Now I'm not so sure if my symptoms are solely the result of the above conditions or if AS may be a factor too.

Well, welcome to WP ... a great place with plenty of time and insight for sorting some of those things out!
