Answer 1

Talk to a doctor.

You didn't say how old you are, it would be very unsual for anyone to be diagnosed with any form of autism after early childhood.

Answer 2

The best thing to do is to see a psychologist with expertise in Aspergers Disorder. However, it's pretty common to read descriptions of mental (and sometimes physical) conditions and to think that you are suffering from the same. That's why you need a professional - sometimes descriptions are so vague that they could fit anyone.

Answer 3

One thing you should realise is it's not really wierd and it's not really a problem if it's mild. The second thing you have to realise is that without proper diagnosis you're just worrying yourself over nothing. As a matter of fact, the worry makes you more a-social. Also, plenty of people are a-social without having aspergers. So just don't worry about it.

Answer 4

See Asperger's, social phobia, and anxiety, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on pages 21, 9, and 6. Many Aspies lead quite normal lives, especially those who have learned how to interpret various social cues.

Answer 5

Actually it is a pretty neat syndrome. I have it. Just for my reference, how old are you?

Answer 6

The only one fit to diagnose you would be a specialist, so go see your doctor for a referral.
