I fit the criteria for aspergers

but I am not a book worm
I don't keep routines well, I find routines difficult to keep especially in a chaotic life.
I am able to focus well on a few topics, but around others it is very difficult to describe topics or how they work and what I thought i knew I began to question.
People always tell me I am random but in my mind I am pretty focused however I cannot explain the chain of thoughts to others.
I am in a constant fog unless I am by myself.
I can have a conversation with most people using pre rehearsed responses.
I can have a conversation with my friends but mostly I just joke about my imaginary things or spins off of things that are happening or people did or I did.
Conversations are never fulfilling to me.
I always feel that there is something wrong with me, most people from what they know/see/converse with me see me as perfectly normal which is frustrating to me because it feels like there is something wrong but I cannot explain it.

Well..this is what is on my mind and when I found aspergers it made a lot of sense but now I am not so sure. The people with aspergers typically are very schoolastic. I am good at school but I have to work hard at it and circumstances play a huge role as to whether I am succesful at it.

Anyways..just wondering what else it could be if it isn't aspergers...or is it aspergers I do not know..I dont think it's ptsd, could be brain damage from hitting myself in the head or smashing my head into walls. But I probably wont ever have the real answer.

Ask for your diagnose and run it through with the psychologist.

im in the same boat, actually the last few things about using pre-rehearsed answers and whatnot sounds a lot like aspegers stuff im not mistaken. I'm not officially diagnosed, nor will I ever be since im not aspie enough- but i know what you mean. Aspergers fits me to some degree but some other stuff like being unable to explain my chain of thoughts to other ppl and being unfufilled by conversation (im bad at conversation so i dont have many) all sounds like me...but frankly that sounds aspie to me
