Aspie traits:

I was painfully shy child - I didn't talk at all, unless I was asked something
I had unusual speech (I disliked some letters and refused to use them)
I learnt to read when I was about five years, but I didn't tell that anyone (other children are usually more enthusiastic, I think - I have always been quite passive)
I was very interested in medical sciences when I was about 8
Adjusting to school was hard for me, because I lacked social skills and was very, very shy
I'm poor at sports - when I try to run fast, I fall down, I'm poor at throwing and catching ball and I can't swim at all
I tend to be lost in my thoughts
Sometimes a certain word, phrase or subject/topic gets stuck in my head, and it overwhelms my thoughts
I've always felt like I don't "fit in" - but usually I don't even want to, because I tend to dislike the most people
Stimming
High sensitivity to criticism
Difficulty expressing emotions
Multi-tasking is difficult
Eye-contact has always been a problem
I get spaced out in group situations
Sensitivity to strong light
I'm picky with food
Bad sense of direction
Meltdowns
Depression
I've had problems regulating my moods, especially aggression
Anxiety and restlessness
Exaggerated hand movements when speaking
I'm bad at small talk
Getting new friends is hard for me
I have had obsessions with certain people
I'm always go through monologues in my head, usually walking around the room, using hand gestures and other body language
I often forget to say thanks (etc.), though I would like to be good-mannered
In group situations, I'm a objective outsider
Noisy and chaotic situations are overwhelming to me
I'm a female, but I don't usually get along with other females; I feel like I have male brain


NT traits:

My speech is no longer monotonous (it used to be)
My social skill have got better, and I usually like to be around people I like, though I need a alot alone time
I'm not sure if my special interests have always been obsessions
I usually know what is inaproppriate to say in social situations, so I remain silent and don't blurt it
I can be quite empathic
I'm very lousy at mathematics
I't hard to remember names, dates and number series
I'm disorganized
I don't have specific routines I need to follow


Though I have lots of AS traits, I still don't fully meet the diagnostic criteria, and
that makes me wonder do I even have Aspergers's syndrome. o__O Maybe I'm a bit different from theee most of aspies, because the most of them are male, and I am female. Or maybe I have just PDD-NOS.

One of the above characteristics listed is: "Difficulty in accepting criticism " and I don't have this treat although everybory say I have.
In fact, I don't know why everybody says I don't accept criticism when I do it very often!
It is really unacceptable that things were different!! !

Well,... this was only for fun but...
will every one list this difficult among his own traits?
