-Do you have terrible memory? - Sometimes. I can remember things like addresses, numbers (ssn, library card, etc), stuff like that very easily. Other things not so much XD
-Are you very clumsy? - not really?
-Do you have trouble talking and expressing yourself? - sometimes...not so much talking but definitely figuring out the right words to use...
-Do you have impulse control problems?
-Do you have a regular sleeping pattern? - When I force myself to...when I let my Asperger's get the best of me then I end up staying up past 3am, but anything to that I tell myself I need to go to bed.
-Are you an insomniac? - I have trouble sleeping sometimes, so I have to get up and do something...
-Are you easily startled to the point where you have heart palpitations(increased heart rate)? - Not really?

EDIT: Didn't notice your other questions.

-Which hand is your dominant hand? Left
-Were you a quiet baby? Maybe? I know I didn't like trying regular people food, and I didn't like eating until I was full, I only ate until I wasn't hungry.
-How close to term were you born?(e.g. preemie, at term, post term) - I believe I was like a week late...
-are you flatfooted(to some degree)? - sort of? I guess lol
-are you cross dominant (use one hand/side more, but do at least one major activity, such as writing with the other)? - I only use the computer mouse with my right hand, and that's because I trained myself (because my mom hated when I switched the mouse around)
-are you dyspraxic? - No I don't think so.

-Do you have terrible memory?

Actually, I have a very good memory--all visual. I perceive sound/smell/touch as visual images and colors, so yeah, that's pretty much it. I'm better at memorizing static images though--moving faces and things are difficult--there's just too much going on. Also, my hypersensitivities make it harder to remember things in public places due to overstimulation.

-Are you very clumsy?

I was. I've worked hard on exercises, running, pilates, etc, to lessen the clumsiness and increase my kinesthetic awareness and it sometimes works.

-Do you have trouble talking and expressing yourself?

Expressing ideas? Nah. Expressing emotions and junk? Yep.

-Do you have impulse control problems?

You need to clarify.

-Do you have a regular sleeping pattern?

My ideal sleeping pattern is 11:30 pm-8am, but it all depends on whether I'm working out an idea.

-Are you an insomniac?

Nope, I've never had problems sleeping.

-Are you easily startled to the point where you have heart palpitations(increased heart rate)?

Augh! Yes. I HATE being startled. It's another reason I've tried to train my senses/kinesthetic awareness--so that I'm not surprised by anything.

-Which hand is your dominant hand?

Right.

-Were you a quiet baby?

I have no idea.

-How close to term were you born?(e.g. preemie, at term, post term)

Pretty close to due date.

-are you flatfooted(to some degree)?

Nah, I have high arches.

-are you cross dominant (use one hand/side more, but do at least one major activity, such as writing with the other)?

I don't think so.

-are you dyspraxic?

Nope.

-Do you have terrible memory?
Only in the sense that I can't remember stuff.

-Are you very clumsy?
Depends. I can play guitar very well, but I'm always dropping screws when I work on something.

-Do you have trouble talking and expressing yourself?
I have a tendency to stutter, and sometimes just can't think of the right words I want to say.

-Do you have impulse control problems?
Used to, but I'm getting better.

-Do you have a regular sleeping pattern?
I wake up at least once during the night.

-Are you an insomniac?
Not really.

-Are you easily startled to the point where you have heart palpitations(increased heart rate)?
I can almost always hear someone coming, but if they manage to sneak up on me, then yes.
