I've been wondering for a long time what's the problem with me, and now that I've read a little about Asperger's I'm figuring this might be it.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I learned to read when I was very young. I'm really good at reading, and I read very fast. I have problems behaving socially and don't seem to be very good at facial expressions. For example, it looks really awkward when I'm smiling. I have a tiny amount of obsessions. Certain bands, certain football teams, certain movie directors. I know EVERYTHING about them, and I get upset when people don't know about these interests of mine.
I've always had weird obsessions. I've always been secretly making lists. (I still do, statistics and lists fascinate me) Don't know why, it just feels good. When I was younger I could sit all day writing long lists for like TV schedules, just copying them off magazines. And I could make up my own music albums. I used to take long walks singing melodies and hearing the music, drums and instruments in my head. And I would take the time. For example, if a song was 3:02 I would write that down on a paper along with the title of the song. Then I would write the lyrics.
I could also sit for hours just imagining football matches, for example Arsenal - Manchester United, and what the score would be, and then write that down on a paper. Next day, I didn't care about what I wrote. It was just a pleasure to write down statistics and stuff. I could talk a lot about the weird stuff I did when I was a kid.
But I was also a pretty normal kid. I played different sports, socialized a lot and played usual kid's games. It's just weird. I don't know anyone else who's done these things when they were kids.
What's wrong with me?
