I am male and 17 and I think I have ASD/aspurgers and for some reason I seem to think I have poor awareness. I would walk around the school like a zombie and I am completely tired all the time. I often would bump into sides of doors or stuff. One of the things that bugs me the most is that I would get in the way of someone and then the person would say "excuse me" so I would move out of the way only to find out that I am in the way agian and that is the place where they need to be going. I feel like a complete idiot and I wonder if I may be ret*d or something because that keeps happening to me. I also feel sluggish and slow most of the time and I don't seem to pay attentions well to what people are saying. I wonder is this apart of aspurgers or something else.

Well it could be, but that also sounds kind of like depression with the sluggish and slow feeling.

Most people that almost bump into people when they're walking end up doing it again. That's why I make sure to move first and stay in same spot to avoid this type of 'dance.'

Being sluggish and slow isn't always depression. If it's always been there it could be inattentive ADHD or even SCT. If you've got attention problems then you may have that.

Eh, I bump into things and people. I've got poor motor control. It's something I've learned to live with.

I've read that those with AS usually have proprioception problems
