I am 90% sure i have Aspergers but there is still a small element of doubt i will post the evidence and see what you think.

Lack of eye contact.
Involuntary hand wringing.
Strong fear when hearing loud noises.
Cannot stand wrists being touched.
Anxiety attacks.
Obsess about one or two things at at time to the exclusion of other things.
Severely awkward in social situations.
Avoid using the telephone.
Close my eyes on the bus to block out other people.
When i listen to music songs will stay in my head for weeks.
Cannot concentrate to read books.
Daydream and go into trances.
Know what i want to say but cannot say it sometimes.
Dislike change.
Repetitive rituals if you count OCD.
I appear selfish.
Unable to come back straight away in conversation.
People might aswell be talking through me at times.
Mood swings.

I also scored 152 aspie traits
36 neurotypical traits on online aspie quiz.

I am currently in the process of seeking official diagnosis.

Yeah, sounds like you are an aspie. Welcome! And congratulations, if knowing about AS makes you feel any better.
Wish I were as sure as you are.

Yes, those symptoms together sound like ASD.

Yeah sounds like AS but "Cannot concentrate to read books." sounds like you also have ADHD-I or whatever they're calling it these days.. but its not suprising its common for people with AS.
