It started when I was 16 and has continued on and off since then.

No, hardly at all. Its just a label and diagnosis given to me by a doctor to help understand why I've behaved, reacted and performed the way I have for my whole life. There are far more interesting things to me than "AS" which I may or may not even have going by the consensus of this forum and what many people think it truly is :roll:

I have Aspergers and yes it is one of my special interests. I love to watch youtube videos and read about Aspergers.

Absolutely I did, and I still read books on it from time to time. I am interested in learning more about myself, of course :)

Almost. I was writing a few poems about asperger's then I kicked out of it. Another close call. I mean, most poetry readers are female poetry writers and they like reading pleasant wish-fulfillment material. Who can blame 'em? But ... it does make its own solipsist sense.
