Reasons Why I Thought Yesterday That I Might Have Asperger's Syndrome

Really just one reason. This article I read in Psychology Today for some reason. But here’s a list of symptoms I read about in that article that made me self-diagnose.

• Would rather stay home and work jigsaw puzzle than dress up for a night out
• Trouble with spatial orientation and direction
• Can imitate or fake way through social situations
• Wry sense of humor
• Cool demeanor
• A little too thorough at times
• Never had a lot of friends but usually has few close friends
• Likes puzzles and logic
• When watching movie/tv, has to turn volume way up to hear dialogue but way down when there is background noise
• Most comfortable being alone
• Not lonely very often (and then usually just wishes to be with certain person or people)
• Maintaining eye contact is a challenge
• Not a hugger

Symptoms I do not have:

• Series of obsessions
• Difficulty changing directions or actions at musical cues (in other words - can’t dance)
• Animal lover
• Only brutal violence can generate emotional reaction
• Being a boy
