Is rumination with repetitive finger twisting, that hurts, a symptom of Aspergers? Or is that comorbid anxiety?When this person is worrying about something, it gets so intense that their finger twisting gets really bad and can last nearly all day long sometimes and their finger nails get sore from the moving around and digging the nails under the nails and pulling, as if wanting to pull the nail off the nail bed (but this never actually happens and there is no visible injury). Their eyes also stare hard when thinking about this issue as their mind is going through all the possible causes, reasons, scenarios that flash by really quickly and too quickly to write all of them down.
They look really intense in their eyes, totally focused on their worry about an issue they're trying to resolve and you can see their mind is gong around and around and they are distressed and uncomfortable with this. They sometimes feel intensely suicidal.
Does this seem to be mental illness, a mental disorder?
The intense ruminating episodes last either a few hours, to 1/2 day or a whole day and happen a few times a week. This person is unable to plan for the future as they don't know if they will kill themselves or not.
Or is this rumination a symptom of Aspergers?
This issue that the person is ruminating over has taken over their lives totally for 18 months. In between these severe rumunating episodes (which makes them feel suicidal) they are happy and are able to look after themselves perfectly well in terms of eating, washing, shopping etc.
This issue has taken over this person's life and they feel they have to resolve this issue so that lessons can be learned by themselves and also others. The social confusion is too great to let the issue pass by, but they are stuck in a mess of writings and thoughts and seem unable to get all the so many intricate details into a whole. This person is writing 4 books about the issue and ultimately hopes to make changes to make the world a more understanding and nicer place, if people read this books. This person believes that people in society should always help people who are confused socially and never leave them confused about social situations. People, no matter if they are family or not, should never leave someone confused. People should help everyone.
However, they're unable to work due to this issue they're trying to resolve. They have no job and not future. This has taken over their life.
This person is happy otherwise and very healthy. Had a very healty routine and never takes drugs or drinks alcohol. This person does talk a lot and give a lot of detail though and get upset that they can't seem to socialise in the same way as other people and they wish they could.

if hes unable to plan for the future he may have depression and anxiety. i think you should bring him to see his gp and maybe have some councelling or see a psychologist who will be able to diagnose him and help him. .

The rumination is a symptom. Does this person talk about this problem alot, almost to the exclusion of any other subject? Does this person use a lot of big words, or is often misunderstood in what they mean? These are all signs of it.
btw, I notice that you are trying to hide the person's identity to the point of not even using pronouns to indicate the gender. Is there a reason? (Out of curiosity)
