I'll try and be as laconic as possible:

I've been diagnosed with Asperger's but there are a menagerie of things which seem odd:

If I close my eyes, I can espy colours, as in. If I imagine a colour, I can actually see it. It's not as when I'm contriving a thought of a doohickey or implement (I.e, I can excogitate about a particular book and envisage what it manifests itself as: but I won't actually SEE the libretto). If I close my eyes, and let's assume I ponder about the colour azure, or red, I can actually see it.

Secondly, I have odd palpitations or tics which aren't tourettes, and occur infrequently, but still do.

Finally, when I ruminate about words, or just try to expatiate in every day life, the lexis/words are numbers in my head. Is this typical/hackneyed with people who've been diagnosed with Aspergers?


Rueful for all the inquiries, I've just recently been branded with the term, and I'm uncertain as to how eclectic the autistic spectrum is.

Thank you. :)

I expecially didn't understood that point!? :?
And how do you know, it's not Tourettes?
What's different?

The final point could be synethesia, but I'm not sure, because I don't have enough information to be certain.
To the first point: Well I would guess you have a very vivid imationation, what's also typical for many autistics and ppl with synesthesia.

Your vernacular, though somewhat unusual is clumsy.

While I realize the urge to partake in civil tongue is a temptation to be fantasized about for some, it's irregular usage on such a forum is not likely to be appreciated by many. Further, your use of the words libretto, palpitations, and expatiate are all incorrect.

Given the nature of the inquiry, I presume you to have a powerful imagination or perhaps synesthesia. The use of visual thoughts is not uncommon amongst the autistic population.

Tics, twitches and compulsions are not uncommon either. Though unusual palpitations of the heart would be worth conversing with your physician about.
