Believe me, if the output of my mind when it does that seems odd you should see the internal process. I sort of perceive things in an exaggerated manner. Something that would seem mildly annoying to you is psychological torture to me. 'Spose that's part of the basis for my Aspergers diagnosis.
I'm no expert, and Asperger's is not easy to understand even by psycological standads, but isn't that disorder mostly characterized by a lack of active empathy, leaving only passive empathy, and not what you discribed?

Pretty sure that's the one thing that
isn't a symptom. Look at TvTropes' Useful Notes page on it. Those pages are... well, useful.
Also, you mispelled "Aspergers", "psychological standards", and "described" this time
.
I could have sworn you claimed physical inequity before.
Maybe his father is more inequitable.
Pretty much. Plus, I probably underestimate myself a bit.
That being why I didn't immediately call him out as a liar. I just would find it a bit odd that an adult would be less physically apt than his own (assumably) not an adult son.
Well, it isn't that hard for a boy at his physical prime to fight a 60 year-old man. I'm faster and more skilled as well, and I'm fighting defensively while he's fighting offensively. I don't need to hurt him to win (though it is *immensely* satisfying), I just need to avoid serious damage (and I'm as tough as nails from being beaten all the time) until he cools down.

Along with failure to regulate social interactions via vocal tone, gestures, and facial expressions, missed social cues, nonfunctional inflexible routines, obsessive and extremely narrow interests, and occasionally lack of motor coordination/sensory sensitivity.
Yeah, I have none of those except for the sensory sensitivity thing. I think the doctor was just sort of doing a bandwagon-jumping act.
