I have it, Aspergers. I was professionally diagnosed with it at the age of 24. Sometimes it feels like a gift and other times it feels like a pain in the ass. I find I get overhelmed easily to the point of wanting to shut down. I'm very sensitive to sound and taste making me a very picky eater. I have my routines that I can't break from or it upsets me. I wear only dark colored clothing because bright colors make my eyes hurt and I feel uncomfortable in certain colors and I never wear clothing with excessive patterns. I've never learned how to drive since I wasn't interested when everyone else was in high school so it was never forced. I find when I'm upset if I put a heavy blanket on me the heavyness is calming and relaxes me. I have special interests in certain things that I can obsess over for several years, then I'll wake up one morning and decide I'm no longer interested in that subject and move on to something else. This can be frustrating to my family when it comes to my birthday or christmas. I try to approach things in a logical manner, however the more upset I get I find I am unable to speak and vocalize my feelings and I tend to flap my hand. Eye contact is hard for me, I feel like it makes my eyes tickle if I have to look directly at someone so I have to look away. I also tend to look down at the floor when I walk.
