You just copy pasted a list of asperger symptoms, what we need to diagnose you is a lot of info about you.

you should be asking for a neuropsychological assessment.My son was late DX also its not just children with AS.My son also has other DX so its not that uncommon to have other DX.But realize these are all just labels . you are you no matter the finall outcome.

I think you might. Also anxiety is a component of asperger’s that most people have. OCD and tourettes are both anxiety based. My grandmother had OCD and hypergraphia too. The good news is that you can work on your social skills and improve alot. My dad is asperger’s and became a psychologist to learn stragegies on how to help his asperger’s. He is married and has 4 kids. My brother who is PDD.NOS never really worked on his social skills. He is in denial about being on the spectrum. He works IT, but hasn’t had a girlfriend in a decade despite being good looking.

Hmm, you know, I think you’re right. Have an neurologist or a specialist to determine if you’re indeed an AS.

it is possible you should check with a specialist

in the mean time go to

http://www.wrongplanet.net

its a websit support group/forum for aspergers and other autistic spectrum disorders

it would do you good to communicate with others on the spectrum while you are trying to figure out if you have Asperger’s as well.

In my opinion it is possible you have Asperger’s Syndrome. I was not diagnosed until I was 18 years old, and am 22 now. It is not uncommon for AS to go undiagnosed until adolescence or even adulthood, as the symptoms are often less noticeable than with Low Functioning, Classic (Kanner’s) Autism. If you want, get evaluated by a pyschologist, or other similar professional specializing in neurodevelopmental conditions. Best wishes!
