I have aspergers. I've been diagnosed at least by 10 different doctors as well as being on the schizo spectrum. I'm not sure if anyone can tell unless they get to know me although I am often told I seem strange. I don't think your question can be answered on the internet. Your description doesn't suggest either answer. Lots of people are like you described but you didn't mention anything that indicates you were misdiagnosed either. Lots of people with aspergers learn to socialize better as they get older, especially if their active. Its just that they aren't born with the social instincts that other people have so we have to learn them.
A few things that I have noticed is I am extremely clumsy to where I break something or get injured on almost a daily basis; I do not understand emotions very well; I do not understand people well nor do they understand me; I'm not great at communicating my thoughts in person, for example I am frequently told I constantly repeat myself without realizing it, or I will say something I didn't mean but didn't understand the meaning of what I said; I often do not know the meaning of what somebody else said; I do not read or express non-verbal communication the way most people do; My senses are distorted; I process information slowly; I have a savant ability in music including the ability to listen to a song a play it on the piano.
Was I wrongly diagnosed with Asperger's?
