I agree with the top comment, not everybody with the condition is the same. What does your friend do that's not socially acceptable, other than not respecting boundaries? I am an Aspie, I'm a very affectionate person but I do respect boundaries. I hug all my friends, but yeah, some people with AS don't like to be touched. I can usually understand how others feel, but it depends on the situation. I have sympathy but I can switch it on and off as it suits me.
If your friend knows her actions aren't acceptable and makes excuses, it sounds like she doesn't have it. But I could be wrong. Or maybe she has another disorder, Idk...she prob should see a specialist.
We live in a women's residence with scheduled dinner and breakfast times. When I see her for dinner, she tells me and the other girls about illicit things that should not be discussed during dinner.
She said "Hi" to me in the hallway and wanted to have a conversation about how she *suddenly* recalled a memory when she licked her half-brother's nipple (This was only after she brought some self-help book home that she checked out at the library). She then talked about a time when her stepfather stuck keys up her ass. The stories get suspiciously worse and worse, and I sense she enjoys the shock she gives people.
Also, you've seen my other comments about her talking about doing math in her head and getting calculations wrong multiple times.
She says she feels narcissistic often, which is probably why she thinks this condition, if she does have it, makes her "The next evolutionary step." I looked that up on the Internet. The most I could find were musings on forums where people diagnosed with Asperger's congregate.
Wanting a diagnosis like that isn't cool. If it's anything like how mood disorders are classified (And I could be wrong), it's more restrictive than "illuminating." Some states won't license you for certain professions if you have certain conditions.
Is it normal that I question Asperger's Syndrome?
