Hey guys. Just wondering if any of you could tell me whether or not I might have Asperger's; here are some of my symptoms that stand out.

i have trouble making eye contact sometimes
when im told to do something i need really clear strong instructions
i have trouble sitting still paying attention
i find success with the things im interested in and have trouble with things im not interested in

does that sound like it? I'm not sure because I have social skills and I don't do anything like flap my hands. Please let me know :)

None of us can tell you if you have AS. It's not the kind of thing that can be diagnosed over the internet even if any of us did happen to be specialists. In fact with the scant list you have provided, it's not even really plausible to give any indication either way.

I'm sure this is true for a lot of NTs as well, unless it gets really extreme. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses
