Geez, I've got most of these symptoms! Except "overly sensitive to loud sounds" - playing in a band 20+ years cured me of that! And all this time I just thought I was a geek.

Sounds like a computer geek to me! Pretty much. Asperger's and autism are especially frequent in Silicon Valley, where geeks get married and have kids.

Sounds just like my daughter. She is mildly autistic. She manages, though.
