We all have our idiosyncrasies with / without labels.
I'm a lot older than most on here and I said tell her when you plan to move in together. If she likes you enough to want to move in then she can tolerate you - but if you're going to talk in your sleep etc it might have an effect on her.
Most males are sullen at times and like their own space - it's usually women who won't shut up and are clingy, so they have their own personlity defects.
Anyhow, enjoy your good times while they last and in your down times, get some peace and quiet.
"Asperger's traits are talking loudly and having a restless mind" - oops, that sounds like me too ;o) but I don't apologise for it and if someone doesn't like me they don't have to hang around me. Easy!
Chill out - you don't have to tell anybody / everybody everything about your life! Just be yourself with or without the label.
Well, I didn't talk into my sleep before I got my diagnosis and all the crap attached to it. Talking in my sleep and having a psychosomatic disorder have little to do with my Asperger's in se. I developed those symptoms because I'm severely traumatized by what happened.
I did some digging on youtube, and I think this guy pretty clearly explains what it's like to be diagnosed with Asperger's. Now, my situation is not the same as his, since everybody has their differences, but there are a lot of similarities.

I am more social than he is, and unlike him, my senses do get overstimulated easily. Now, I won't freak out if that happens, but I will feel extremely bad, and the pressure and pain on my throat gets way worse. I can keep up acting normal for the most part, but I'll try to get on my own as soon as possible and take some time to recover.
I can't make my senses less sensitive, so I can only try to cope with it. So... some aspects do have an impact on my lie. But try explaining crap like this to a girl you like.
I thought he was pretty normal actually, typical teenager except I once heard that it's only people with Aspbergers that have any chance of winning the Nobel Prize for Maths as you can't be just good at maths but obsessively brilliant.
As for mundane tasks - well I hate cleaning so have a house-keeper. Does that count?
I honestly don't see any problem for you - except your mini panic attacks that hurt your throat may be a little difficult to explain.
Enjoy yourself.
My son and I have both survived this (I think) without the label.
When should you tell your boyfriend/girlfriend you have asperger's?

Hmmm. That's given me something to think about.
I thought he was pretty normal actually, typical teenager except I once heard that it's only people with Aspbergers that have any chance of winning the Nobel Prize for Maths as you can't be just good at maths but obsessively brilliant.

I think most people hate cleaning their houses. ;)
Mundane tasks aren't all that bad. Sure, they're boring, but I won't use my Asperger's as an excuse not to tidy up.
It's basically the throat thing that's the worst. But for the rest... yeah, I can deal with it. :)

Aw then don't worry too much. You only have to make a gf aware that you don't like too much happening at the same time as it panics you.
I'm sure you're a great guy so don't let anyone use it as an excuse to look down on you.
