DSPS seems to me like one of those conditions that, like ADD, is far more pervasive than the psychologists think and so vaguely defined that there's no real point in trying to diagnose it in people. All I know is that, left to my own devices, I naturally try to sleep at around 5 AM and wake at 12:30 or so. If forced to disregard this schedule, I need another hour or more of sleep just to keep up.
As for the asexuality, I assumed that was the case with myself for a long time before realizing I have a desire for a specific mate, who I've never met or seen, which is quite frustrating. But so long as I'm not thinking of Her I have no real attraction to other people. Nowadays I call myself a monosexual.
