I am waiting to get diagnosed. I am sure I have aspergers because I experience all of the symptoms except for one, which is long short span. I don't really have any interests. I could have add, but I am sure I have aspie because I lack eye contact and and I hate changing routines. I have terrible social skills. I do like reading and can write well. I also like things to be lined up. What do y'all think?

Long... short span? I'm sorry, what? Do you mean an abnormally long attention span? A short one? Short ones are more associated with ADHD which can also cause social functioning issues, although those don't work in the same way.

The rest of your symptoms do sound like mild autism, so it's likely that you will be diagnosed with it or something along those lines.

I meant I experience short attention span. Sorry about the confusion.

I think your "terrible social skills" is enough for you to consider getting a diagnosis though with the limited information in the OP it's really hard to tell. With what you mentioned in other threads, it sounds like it.
