What personality disorder is this?

I know it isn't adhd because I can focus on my school work. I barely talk to anyone and people that haven't seen me talk think I'm a mute. I do repetitive actions like desk tapping and stacking and organizing things. People who do see me talk say I'm rude in conversation and that I don't make eye contact eye contact. I can't maintain relationships and people don't like being around me because I throw temper tantrums. I have really really good memory and music, math and science are my best subjects. Despite me being really good in school, a musician is all I want to do career wise. If it isn't to much to ask for can you recommend a professional diagnosis website because when ever I bring the subject up with me mom she always dismisses the conversation. My grandma is the same way and says mental disorders run in the family.

    It doesn't sound like a personality disorder or a mental illness, it sounds a lot like Autism or Asperger's syndrome which is also on the autistic spectrum

    Autism is basically a learning disorder instead of a mental illness. I think it would be wise to consult a doctor or a psychologist about this :)

    Maybe OCD or an autism spectrum disorder, idk ... this is not a good place to get a diagnosis, nor is any other website. Please go see someone about this, if nothing else than to feel a little more "normal" about the way you feel.

    You can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) anytime you are in emotional crisis

    or you can look up free or low cost mental health clinics in your area.

    Best of luck to you!

    A dr is the only one who can test, diagnose and treat you. Nobody here is qualified to do that.

    If you think its autism, check your library or ebay for the book, Healing and Preventing Autism by J. McCarthy. Lots of good info.
