Still going a little nuts, though in an undramatic way.

I think I've said something here before about stress, lack of sleep, and loneliness combining to make me start hearing things. It's a bit worse now, a lot more stress, a lot less sleep, still no one to talk to.
I'm not losing my focus so much as I'm not noticing when I do weird things that I shouldn't be doing. When the lights go off, I see movement, so I sit there talking to shadows. In my head it's always the same creature, or creatures, the ones that I used to think followed me when I was out and about. Then I thought they followed me home. Now I'll get the impression that they're sneaking about, but I catch a glimpse, so I point out to them how I can see them, and then I track their movements on the walls and ceiling until I eventually realize how crazy or stupid I must sound talking to the walls at midnight to anyone who's still awake and listening.
I'm also inclined to go over every inch of a room sometimes, just reaching out to every corner and space in order to flush them out, and then I realize how ridiculous that is but I finish anyway.
I guess I am seeing movement, or thinking I'm seeing movement, but it's when I start talking to them like I'm having an actual two sided conversation that it really worries me.
Doesn't really have to do with Aspergers or depression, maybe AS a little because I've for the most part given up contact with other people and the solitude is getting to me or something. I don't know.

It almost seems like OCD behaviours and mild hallucinations combined? I would go check with your GP, maybe he'll have a better idea of what it could be.

As long as you aren't thinking they are real, I'd think you are ok. Although, seeing stuff is probably not good, healthwise. I'd see a doctor too.
