Hi! I suspect I have Asperger, because I present (in various degrees) all of the "symptoms" I read about these past years from a number of different sources. I have tics and similar, like rocking back and forth, and flapping my arms. I don't understand irony up to some seconds later and I take things literally but now it's just for a couple of seconds then I understand the meaning. I can`t make friends, not even when I want to, not even carry on a conversation, due to my lack of skills and motivation. So I have no friends, never had (and it never bothered me), just a couple of acquaintances and family, so most of my social needs find a way out through my sisters. And it's so hard to explain myself when talking, and communication in general is really difficult. Nevertheless when I speak I do it fluently, even too fast sometimes and it's very easy to learn other languages, witch is kind of funny. And there's this situation in my head where I have to translate any thought into words and then those words into coherent spoken language that makes me wish for telepathy.
Even though I started talking at the age of 3, I have no cognitive issue whatsoever (IQ 137).
I can spend hours in silence doing a single task. It irritates me so much when someone interrupts me or interfere with my routine or whatever it is that I might be doing. I don't like having others touching me or my things, drinking from my glass, etc.
My senses overload easily, like people smells can be so annoying, sometimes I can see my nose, or when someone speaks loudly my ears bang and I have to cover them. In spite of all this, I've learnt how to fake social interactions and when needed I pass for a NT.
There are many things too, but this is getting too long, can't help myself, so I'm gonna post this and hope I don't make such a bad first impression or whatever.
Sorry for the rant.
