Is it normal that I question Asperger's Syndrome?

  • The people you refer to seem like a bunch of teenaged twats trying to make sense of what, in all actuality, is probably just your typical social awkwardness that comes with adolescence.

    I have been diagnosed with Aspergers myself although I don't believe it's an accurate diagnosis. I personally see it as an umbrella term for a cluster of behaviors that stem from mild autism. Ultimately, autism is a spectrum and I think that Aspergers should be erased so that the diagnosis can focus on the actual autism rather than the symptoms it creates.

    • The girl is 25. Most of these people who make me question it and the methodology behind diagnosing it are in their early and mid twenties.

      Several events in the past few days make me believe she is now a pathological liar.

      In college a student used it as an excuse when people were pissed at him for performing a standup comedy routine where he named the girl who supposedly paid him to take her virginity. He used tons of slurs directed at Eastern Europeans and talked about how tight she was. Only when people were pissed did he apologize and say it was Asperger's.
