Identifying your own Aspergic behaviour in social interaction

[CloudRomy]

Do you think it is possible to identify Aspergic behaviour (particularly in the area of social communication) in others and not notice it in yourself? Do emotions get in the way?

yes

I hadn't been aware I sometimes talked a lot about my favourite subjects or that I often failed to ask 'how are you?' in return; a friend pointed this out to me. I can observe it in others though.

Like Forest Gump crashing a MENSA meeting, I tend to feel out of place with my behavior after each disastrous thing I say/do. GAAH!! *facepalm*

I can notice aspie behavior in coworkers easily yet with myself, i'm slow to notice it. If i notice my own aspie behavior at all, its after the fact and i do a mental facepalm every single time.

When I take care of a problem for a customer, they often ask what was wrong. I am more than happy talk about what I'm interested in. So I start explaining what was wrong in technical terms, until I realize that they do not care and are uncomfortable. Some times it takes a while for me to see it. If someone were to do the same thing to me I would see it right away. So, yes I do see Aspie behavior in others, but miss it when I'm doing it.
