MyBrainHurts, my AQ is 45 and many of the points above also apply to me. And I had insomnia for 20 years, since I was a little child.

I'm not saying that you don't have aspergers or HFA, maybe you have. (and maybe I have too ) But my point is: what would it mean to you to know what you exactly have? I also suspected myself of having it, went to a few physicians and psychologists and was diagnosed with many things. Did that help me? No.

Why don't you just learn to be who you are and live with all of your characteristics in a way you like? If you feel you lack social skills, learn it. What would a diagnosis change? You still would have to learn it. Or do you think you could say "well, I have autism, so I can't socialize anyway, let's give up!"?

I get the impression that your search for a diagnosis is based on a feeling that you're not ok like you are. If you don't like how you are, create a new you that would be like you want to be

Btw, I eventually found out the reasons for my insomnia. It was meat consumption. Yes, really, it prevented me from sleeping. You should have a precise look at your nutrition if you have a sleep problem. What do you eat? Do you move enough?
