I've talked to a lot of people in the autism community and can see where some people may think some are faking it.
There is always someone to intentionally fake anything, but I think many of the "self diagnosed" people aren't quite faking it, but have misdiagnosed themselves and actually have something else like social anxiety or a personality disorder.
With actual aspergers, there are neurological impairments such as sensory distortions and impaired non-verbal communication due to not recognizing body language.
IIN that I dont have a sex life?
