My son is diagnosed with autism (Asperger) and the doctor says it is very likely that I also fall under this category. I have problems communicating with people, I can't do smalltalk to save my life and all that. But I don't find the time to get an actual diagnosis. It's also hard to do because the doctors always involve your family during the process. Which is kinda hard in my case, because both of my parents are already dead, lol.

But whatever, I'm lucky to have the perfect job as a freelancer journalist working exclusively from my home office. No human interaction whatsoever. Well, apart from my wife who keeps on rushing in every now and then. But that's ok. =D

You seem brighter than average. Perhaps that's your issue. People who are highly intelligent are also neruo-divergent and can suffer from the things you described, small talk especially. They frequently exhibit the same traits as those who have ADD.
