I know the video is short, I just didn't know what to say.

No. It's 10 seconds long. Aspergers isn't something where you look at someone's face and say omg, look someone with aspergers.

What makes you think you have aspergers?

For some reason I'm going to say yes. mainly because you got my spidey senses going in that I imagined many positive features of your character and wanted to be your friend!

If we met irl I am quite certain we would be. This going on no more info than the video.

It appears as if your ceiling is in an alternate dimension.

The camera was in a funny angle.

frankly it doesn't matter if she "looks aspie" or not, she is lovely and the camera loves her at whatever angle.

The two aspiest things that stand out in that 10 second clip are:

Your somewhat blank expressionless facial expression - although I've certainly seen much more prominent examples. It might just be that you were a bit nervous.

The prosody of your voice. It does have a bit of the aspie prosody sound to it. I especially noticed it near the end with your pronunciation of "camera," as your voice fluctuates up & down a bit more pronounced there.

That's my take. Others may not see the facial expression I see, and may not hear the prosody I hear. But IMO both are there, maybe just not so extreme as some people - but they're there from what I see and hear.

I was nervous and awkward. I was also trying to make myself smile and my voice not sound monotone.

I actually met someone once I really liked being with and talking to… and we had this fascinating conversation about unrecognised states, at which point I realised even more (after seeing certain characteristics) that he probably had AS.

I once was in a meeting with AS people and I had this feeling of 'finally some normal people/a normal conversation!'. Made me feel connected.

OP, you seem a bit AS-ish to me because you sound somewhat monotonous. But maybe that's just me.

If Asperger's could be diagnosed in a matter of seconds by random strangers on the internet then the NHS could save a fortune in the salaries of trained professionals and cut waiting times for assessment to nothing.

No, no one can tell if you have Asperger's or not from a short video clip.

I don't see it as a positive. I see it as a disease.

I actually think a bunch of random strangers on the internet (who happen to be on the AS spectrum and have a reasonable amount of intelligence) would have infinitely superior skills at diagnosing than the NHS. Or most people with qualifications in psychology.
