I notice as I get older and as I work with more and more different people, I am a bit autistic.

I tend to be very direct, horrible at small talk, impulsive, very good at technical math

Maybe I've just been stuck in my cube' for too long?

That doesn't like autistic to me.

Not really. At least not by your standards. I suck at math and, if anything, I think social interactions through too thoroughly.

That alone does not indicate high functioning autism.
I am and have been diagnosed with high functioning autism, so the answer to your question is yes.

I have no idea. I'm not so good at small talk and I'm pretty direct , but given the right conditions I actually initiate the conversations and try to make people feel at ease.

i was just reading an article that said Aspergers and the IT field go pretty hand in hand, but often it is overlooked or undiagnosed.

I highly doubt it. Most disorders tend to be over diagnosed by the plethora of hacks in the field.

give it a read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbergers
key word for this type of diagnosis: pervasive
