Not sure if OP was trolling or not but whatever.
I heavily suspect that I have aspergers/autism/whatever and was never diagnosed. I understand they don't really diagnose adults with it anyways.
I was looking into the symptoms when we suspected the same of our son. Everything just clicked. My whole life just kinda clicked together and it explains so much of how I am. On the one hand, it was very relieving to know there is a reason that I am the way I am. On the other hand it was depressing to feel like it's never going to change and I'll always be this way. I've been able to lead a mostly happy and fulfilling life despite the struggle so I guess all is well that ends well. I guess I've gotten really good at 'faking it' over the years and I doubt most people who know me as an acquaintance would suspect.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nope, no trolling. Thanks for being the one of the few to take my post seriously.
I Was away for the remainder of the week on a camping trip. When it comes to social situations I too have become extremely good at faking it. However there are many times where I'm pretty much unable to understand some social aspects of peoples lives.
I too am not officially diagnosed but am currently seeking counseling with an Autism specialist to get a better understanding for how to work around the issues. I can relate that it's good to know why, but yes, it is also kinda deflating to know that I have limitations.
