Wow, Zephyr... I only know what Asperger's is because it was ruled out on me several years ago. Apparently, I really do have a mild to moderate social anxiety disorder, but I got lucky with a thorough doctor who believed in being sure and ruling out all contingencies.
Good luck with dealing with your tics and issues... I think it is very courageous of you to post about it here and I wish you the best!

All by itself, that sort of sounds like a Tourette's tic. Not everyone who has Tourette's has verbal tics... A good friend of ours has an eye tic and one other friend has a neck/shoulder one. It might not be, but I would have it checked out, just to be sure. I think a neurologist is who would deal with Tourette's but I'm not sure.

See a doctor? *shrugs* I suppose you could live your life without ever knowing, but it would stand to reason that you'd have a much better chance of functioning at a high level with some sort of success if you got it treated.
