So you asked if anyone had these:

I was trying to retrace my childhood...and I can't remember any of it for the most part, just fragments(anyone got that problem?)....my parents lack early videos, baby books, etc...so it's hard to trace anything...age 8-9ish I drew really weird pictures, mostly inventions, but alot of them seemed to center around the invention killing or dismembering someone...at age 6 there was a drawing of someone getting shot and below it, it said my sister is a pest and she hit my mom....which she was actually known to hit my mom and I hated her so......but it seems alot of my pictures focused on death...
I did nothing of the sorts.

Also, my handwriting at age 6-7ish was horrible...had a 1 inch rule per line and some of my letters were still bigger, letters mixed up, backwards letters, lots of things misspelled...
Unless you expect yourself to have been better than even clever kids that age, the average seven year old "rirts lik this" unless they are abnormal or have memorised the spelling of many words already or if they are doing well academically and are perhaps gifted, they can write common words such as and, the, can and simple nouns correctly.
Letters mixed up and backwards is also something all in a whole class of first-graders that I know do with varying frequency.
Personally, I didn't do this, except writing my name in mirror-writing in kindergarten. I probably had/have hyperlexia though, do I'm from the 'abnormal' party.

AND...I was watching home videos of 7 years old like at christmas and stuff and people were constantly telling me to be quit I was talking to loud, I screamed alot, made like sound effects while running around(ambulance sounds and explosion sounds mostly).....
Kids/everybody with sensory processing issues (as common in autism) so this actually. It's often a problem of not hearing oneself. A person might have normal or even hypersensitive hearing, but they just do not hear themselves accurately and thus whisper or scream often and make various nonsense sounds.
I didn't do this, but I know a lot of kids with various disorders who do. It's really common in kids with sensory issues.

I seemed to be dropping alot of things or tripping alot too...
Clumsiness is common in AS, so your observation might be quite true, yeah.
Because you asked if anyone else had these problems - no, I didn't and don't have this, I had very un-AS-ish excellent motor skills.

and it didn't seem like I spoke very well, my vocabulary was very limited(then again...could be a christmas kid thing)....
I spoke very well except the echolalia and the social issues, I just spoke very rarely at 6/7 because I didn't connect and ignored people a lot.
Though, these days pretty much all 6-7 year olds speak horribly. They rarely get a grammatically correct sentence out. I don't know if that's a modern phenomena or if that's always been true.

I interrupted people alot in the videos too...
I still interrupt people a lot. But that's my ADHD. I was told early that interrupting is very rude.

people had to call my name a good 4 or 5 times before I would look at them...
I think that comes under ignoring people, so yes, I did this.
