I'm 15 and I think I fit many of the characteristics of AS. I'm not very social, don't really get all that attached to people, and have never had many, if any, close friends. People have said to me "You don't know how to read people!" and I guess they could be right - I don't really interperet facial expressions, miss sarcasm, and do things like talk "too loud" and say things that people consider rude. People also say I'm immature (for example, I have a teddy bear which I CAN NOT sleep without)
I also have ultra-sensitive ears, and I HATE loud noises. When I was younger I used to scream and cry when ever someone was vaccuming. Also, I can't stand the tone of the bell they use in my school... it's like being tortured. I also hate the sensation of drawing with chalk or felt-tip markers, or the sound of people using such things.
I have really strong, obsessive interests which people say are "weird" like brain tumors and Jim Henson.
Do you think I could have AS?
