I don’t know what developmental problems you have, but it’s probably not autism. As a parent of an (high functioning) autistic child, your use of language seems to me to be far above what any autistic person I’ve ever met has been able to achieve. ---

The description of symptoms in the OP rings true for me on a level that is somewhat frightening. Does anyone know of any online resources (other than Angelfire / Geocities type pages) where I could find more information on this Asperger’s Syndrom? ---

Disorders on the autism spectrum are serious, pervasive disorders that affect every aspect of the lives of those who have them. They are neither jokes nor funny in the slightest.
