Am I?

I have always jokingly told people that I am not your average normal woman.  I didnt say it to brag, or be something that I'm not. Its just that I'm not like most people.  And I'm learning, or maybe its paying attention to how I really am now more than ever.

I have a very selective "like" when it comes to being touched.  It hasn't been a big problem until lately.  I don't like to be hugged or touched by my mother.  

I have always been extra sensitive, assumed it was being an empath.  Which I am, but it goes further.  I don't like large crowds, loud noise, some smells make me crazy.  I like routine, have OCD when it comes to certain things, and st times have repetitive motions (like rubbing my feet together, or bouncing a foot to simulate rocking).

I have begun to wonder if its a form of autism.  You hear that word, and things pass through your mind.  But many autistic people are high functioning adults.  

The question continues to cross my mind now and then:  Am I?
