Is me almost always being able to be talking about myself a lot more reflective of my Aspergers or my lack of socialibility?. Part of me feels like that's something which can definitely be expanded on but I can't think of much right now. I'm not sure if this is to general a issue, I mean I can talk about other things as well but it's usually in the sense of being opinionated then "hard info" about a field per se like say car manufacturers.

Just kind of spitballing here.

My mom always tells me Asperger ppl talk about themselves & don't know how to care about ppl, but you can learn to care. I don't talk about myself, I do talk about myself, but mostly I don't like to.

Nothing wrong with talking about yourself--as long as it's not in excess, and as long as you listen to other people talking about themselves.

It's not true that Aspergians don't care about other people. That's a ridiculously wrong statement.
