  • I guess I would ask why is it so important that you must diagnose yourself with this? What are you hoping to achieve? People with AS typically have a hard time making friends, which it appears as though you have them and have a good relationship with them if you are confiding problems and concerns. The only reason I would really push for this label is if you are in school and feel as though you require special classroom placement or therapy services to help you with your social skills. Otherwise I'm wondering why you would feel the need to convince your parents you have this.

    • Well, I was bullied a lot in school bc I all I did was talk about animals and draw them and read about them. This boy across the street even beat me up a few times even though i didn't talk to him much. And i have a hard time keeping friends, I can make friends just fine, but then when they start to know me better, they think i'm weird and they stop talking to me. I elementary and middle school, people called me a freak and for a long time i believed them. I guess if I find out I have it, it would explain alot about why everything that is simple to most people is so difficult for me, that's why it's important
