Does anyone have to have there issues pointed out?

Often when I've said something inconsiderate I need that to be explained. And because I either seem to have very little ego, or so much that everything just bounces off it, I sometimes still don't understand how it's offensive.

The perseverating, repeating myself, jumping back to previous points in a conversation ... people hardly ever told me exactly what I was doing wrong, they just gave me this general feeling of being socially incompetent or eccentric. I only started to see the exact problems myself after a while, beginning in my teen years. Getting to know more about AS, I'm realizing other stuff now too, that I'd never consciously noticed before.
