Would this be diagnosed as Asperger's you think? Sorry if it get's too long lol.

I'm a 25 yr old female. Never been "like everyone else" lol. I have always been obsessed with objects that move (ride toys, toy tractors, remote control vehicles, tricycles, bikes, vehicles, four wheelers, jetskis, Volkswagen dunebuggys, the list goes on)... As I have aged, my interests have changed. I put the list in order for you so that you can tell how the obsessions have changed but they all have the common theme. I also have milder obsessions with people (including exT and current T), Psychology, math, drafting (which I have a degree in and also 6 yr career in), drums, Christian music and ministry.

As far as appearance goes, I always wear comfortable clothes. My wardrobe consists of jeans, tshirts, hoodies, athletic apparel. I despise church clothes and as soon as I walk through the door to my house, I'm stripping lol. I sleep naked because I don't like pj's touching me while i'm trying to sleep. I only like certain fabrics for my sheets. I want to buy or make one of those weighted blankets. I have an easy hair style.

I can be immature in my emotions, looks, behavior, and tastes for things. I like to follow rules and disciplines. It's never really bothered me to be alone, as long as abondment isn't a factor. I'm smart and have always done well in school and college. Sensitive to sounds and bright lights. K-12 grades would have pep rallys during football season every friday. I'd sit in the room with the teacher instead cause i couldn't handle the noise level. I've sit and cried in church as a child/teen cause the music and noise was too loud (to me anyways). I walked when I was 10 months old. I could carry on an "adult" conversation when I was very young. I've always related to adults easier than peers. Never been too huggy (perhaps because of touch sensory issues). I want hugs, but it freaks me out and people always comment how awkward I am at it. I have GI problems. I stim by rubbing my hands together really fast. I'm very shy and really awkward socially. I do good if I'm one-on-one, but when I'm in a group I pretty much shut down. It's hard for me to express emotions except for happy. Crying is almsot impossible. Saying "I love you" is rare for me. All that mushy stuff is eek !

On the other hand, I'm fully independent/self-sufficient. I have a full-time job for the past 6 years. I go to college and am a top student. I live alone and can drive a vehicle. I don't have meltdowns/tantrums, but did as a child/young teen. I've never had bad behavior, but I've always "followed the rules."

Maybe I will add more to the list later after I go home from work and look through my Asperger notes.
