---------------I actually had a girlfriend once that I was convinced has Asperger's. She was terribly clumsy, aloof, unable to empathize, irritated by varied stimuli, self-stimulating, narrowly very intelligent, good at puzzles, emotionally flat, etc. After that caused me to read up on the syndrome, I could see obvious parallels within myself. What was even more interesting is to read the writings of someone with Asperger's.
I think if I am affected by something like that, though, it's probably to a pretty small degree. I'm more ADD mixed with Avoidant personality type (and a dash o' asperger's).
Perhaps the one obvious Asperger characteristic I demonstrate in this area is the tendancy to write in overly long, pedantic sentences as if lecturing. Here's a good link of descriptions, for anyone else reading this...

--Avoids socializing, "hanging out," or small talk on and off the job--Man, do I ever.
