I would say Asperger's but with the social skills of PDD-NOS. I learned the social stuff pretty easily. But I have loads of the comorbid-ish stuff like a pretty Obsessive-Compulsive personality, sensory issues, obsessions...

I fit the description of AS, as a child I was "worse," maybe I would have been dxed as low func. autistic (if anyone had had their eyes open... :( ).

Aspergers, formally diagnosed 2 years ago. My main issue is that I've never been hired after going in for the job interview. If Aspergers had been known when I was growing up, I probably would have been diagnosed earlier.
