NVLD and Stimming?

Post Reply New Topic

I show most of the signs of NVLD (bad with right sided brain thinking) but I also stim, have sensitivity to lights, noises, and touch, and I have seemingly obsessive interests (though I rarely talk about them to others, I want to, but am nervous too and when I do I can sometimes go on a tan-jet or go on too long but usually I can tell when someone is bored, or I think I can at least lol). But I don't know if my social difficulties are severe enough to be diagnosed with aspergers/hfa. I can be funny (often considered the class clown), understand sarcasm (though I do tend to take things literally more than most people, it's not that bad). My honesty often irritates people though that's usually not my intention, I often can't relate to why someone is sad/mad though I know the right thing to say to them I often don't actually feel anything if that makes sense (but when I can relate or understand I often feel more emphatic than most people). I hate eye contact. Often things that are natural for others feel weird for me, like saying hello or hey! and stuff like that. I sometimes find myself observing how people talk to each other. It is hard for me to start and/or maintain conversation, or finding something to say. I have bad working memory. I have delayed motor skills. I have social anxiety and I have struggled with depression. I find many of the social norms stupid or confusing. I feel like a alien trying to fit in with a different race. Many of the behaviors and social things I do are things I have consciously learned from others and not naturally performed. I generally can see the difference in tone of voice and body language (i think at least, as sometimes when things are different for so long you don't see it).
So do you guys think that my social problems can be considered aspergers? Or do I just have NVLD and for some reason I also stim and have sensory problems?
