After doing a fair amount of reading on the subject of asperger's syndrome, Im not sure
whether I have it or not.

My observations as well as others notice the following in me

- slow social development skills
- Difficulty feeling empathy
- sensitive to being touched, let alone have a practical joke done on me
- History of not fitting in cause I was weird
- Good with mathematics and science subjects
- Problems communicating what is on my mind

I'd appreciate if anyone could help me here as these things have bothered me most
of my life

A lot of folks have Asperger traits or exhibit thinking that flings them outside the norm and makes their lives difficult. They often don't form meaningful long lasting relationships or are prone to destroy the ones they did happen to get into. Some are so prone to saying the wrong things in social situations that they've learned to avoid them altogether.

Being good with math & science is a stereotype Hollywood loves to exploit. (See Dr. Spencer Reid or Sheldon Cooper).

That's right.

It's a create and destroy culture.

Get to a psychologist and find out for certain.
