Confused. Childhood+my symptoms now???

Post Reply New Topic

Hello.
Yesterday i had a long chat with my mom where we talked about my childhood. She said that she does not think that i showed sings of aspergers/autism, but there are a few things that might have something to do with it (and i think may be signs) Here are the ones that just popped into my head:
I (without anyone even trying teaching me) learned how to read letters at the age of 1 year and 7 months
When i walked into a table and my mother asked what happened i showed her, by walking into the table again
Said my first sentence at 2 and a half
Had my own structured language for about a year, where i used the exact same words in the same context, not babbling just speaking in my own language (from being about 1-2 ish, not sure)
Got extremely mad when i once met another child with the same name as me
Often preferred to be with adults than other kids my own age
I was a "difficult" baby/toddler, cried alot, slept very little and had trouble falling asleep (no naps, maybe like 5-7 hours of sleep per night, ever since i was an infant)
Only wore clothes that i thought were comfortable
Ever since i was about two i decided i do not like being hugged and no one other than my parents are allowed to hug me, and i was like that my whole life
I ran away when people sang happy birthday to me, i hated it.

We also talked about what symptoms i have now, looking at a normal "checklist" for HFA/AS i feel like i fit in with very many of them. Examples:
Poor eye contact (except with the people i know very well, family, close friends but not teachers, classmates etc. etc.)
Take things literally
Cant understand sarcasm (except my mom&dads sarcasm)
I am obsessed with parrots/ The last of us (a video game)
I do not feel any empathy for humans, but i do kind of feel it for my parrot
I often do not say hello to people, not to be rude just because i do not remember/think about it
Am still very sensitive to certain sounds and how clothes feel
I do not like being touched
I have trouble with adapting my behavior to different situations (behave the same way in classroom as on break etc.)
I very much like schedule, and if someone changes my schedule without me knowing it makes me anxious and stressed
When stressed i become non-verbal
When meeting a new person i only talk about parrots.
I have a different way of thinking than everyone else
I am highly logical

Sorry about it being painfully long, but if you read this thank you so much and any suggestions are welcome!
