Well, hi everyone I hink I have Asperger?s, please tell me what you think!
Why I think I have asperger:
01 ? Since kindergarten teachers used to tell my parents I had poor contact with other kids?I always wanted to play by myself.
02 ? I?m 28 years old and I actually had 1 close friend when I was a teenager?and when she decided not talk to me anymore I wasn?t really sad?maybe upset but it didn?t last much.
03 ? I know many people, people that I like and care but I know we still have a superficial relationship.
04 ? I never had a boyfriend.
05 ? I hate talk on phone I never know when and how to say things and I never know when it?s time to say bye, so it seems I?m always in an urge to say bye. I know it makes things worse to have friends if you don?t call them.
06 ? When people that I know move to other place it?s really hard to me to keep in contact, not that I don?t want to but it?s really difficulty to me.
07 ? I have problems driving?I know how to drive and I do it really well but I have difficult in new routes it makes me really anxious that many times I prefer to stay at home?it?s really upset because most of people don?t understand it. I really feel sick from stomach if I have to drive in new places.
08 ? I had and still have problems to read analogic watches. I took me a while more than normal to learn to read analogic watches and also to understand that 1:00pm is 13:00, 2pm is 14:00 and etc?I really understood it when I was a teenager older than most of kids. And about analogic watches I still have to paid attention because I sometimes read it wrong specially if someone ask me ?what time is it?? omg.
09 ? When I was a little kid, about 3,4,5 years old mom says I loved to talk difficult words for my age?and I loved to talk about politics.
10 ? I always wanted to play alone?.sometimes I played with some other kids but it wasn?t for long I preferred to play alone while my brother always was with a lot of friend around him.
11 ? Once when I was about 13 years old my mom took me to the funeral of her friend?s husband and when we got there I said to the widow ?are you ok?? instead of give her my condolences? I knew I should give her my condolences but it wasn?t comfortable or natural to me to say it. I also have troubles giving compliments and I know sometimes we have to but it?s very hard to me to say things like congratulations, you look beautiful, my condolences and things like that. It?s even hard to get compliments I never know how to react sometimes it?s hard even to say thank you.
12 ? If I meet someone that I know on street it?s hard and sounds mechanic to say ?hi?. Nowadays it?s some better but it used to be worse before.
13 ? I also have some favorites topics, it changes once in a while and I try not to talk much about it?now my favorite topic is boarding schools, I don?t know why but that?s it.
Well I stop here I wish to know if it sounds like Asperger?s because I haven?t talked to anyone about that?I just find I can have it.
Please give me your opinion!

It's possible,but I would get a doctor's opinion. Meanwhile, try this quiz, it tests to see if you might have aspergers.

From what you wrote you are probably gifted and have significant enough issues with communication that a professional should be seen. You also mentioned a few things hinted at literal thinking and trouble with change. Aspergers is more then a communication issues it is a "pervasive" condition.. Based on what you wrote your issues were not "pervasive" enough for me to say Aspergers is likely. But I do very much realize you left a lot of traits out.

Besides taking the test spend a week or two browsing through the posts. If you have a lot of OMG moments, I thought I was the only one that did that, then you will have a very good indication you are on the Autism Spectrum.
