My AQ was 32 and ny aspie score was 149. Both indicate high probability of aspergers. I know that this is hardly a scientific/clinical measure of where I am on the spectrum but it offers me an alternative perspective from which to analyse my position.

I struggle to look people in the eye or touch people - it feels like part of me may be lost This could be a consequence of my OCD-type symptoms. At the same time my lack of eye contact has been a long standing problem.

I have an encylcopaedic musical knowledge of virtually every musical genre across world pop and classical (all genres currently exist under these broad all encompassing headings). I tend to throw myself body and soul into projects which consume me entirely.

The same thing goes for romantic interests. My last unsucessful assay has currently taken on the form of a 5-6 week long pot pinge. Ive been smoking 3-4 bonghits a night for the last 5 weeks with 1 night of reprieve. Cessation invites tears and much emotional fallout.

There are loadsof other things. My social ineptitude is quite profound. Ive been assuming I was quite ugly for the past few years. However this would appear to be a false assumption. I was convinced to the hilt of this in fact. So much so that it (again) consumed my every waking thought for quite some time.
