While I respect your feelings on the matter, it is the correct usage of the word - symptoms are a sign of the existence of something else. Unless something is found that sums up the impact better, it is a word that I myself will continue to use, albeit with restraint when talking with you.

Not sure about your comments regarding tests; all tests are inherently biased, so any results should be taken with a grain of salt... but they can be helpful in providing direction. Just not worth investing full faith into.

Experiences like those are well inside the ball park
(i.e. the normal range of experience) for someone
with Asperger's syndrome. As for me, I hated most
sports when I was a child; that was because I wasn't
well co-ordinated and was picked last for games in
Phys. Ed. (or P. E., your choice of short form).

It is so much of a relief to read so many posts about people who talk to themselves but do not have a serious mental illness like schizophrenia.

I used to talk to myself a lot but never had any of the hallucinations that are hallmark symptoms of schizophrenia. I had no idea the talking to myself might be a part of AS. I didn't have the positive symptoms of schizophrenia yet those who knew I talked to myself a lot wondered if I heard voices. I have never had the experience of hearing voices, at least, that I realize was actually hearing voices that were not there. Don't know if I heard any without realizing that it was an auditory hallucination:-S
