They really say that. I was telling a good friend I thought I might have it, and her first reaction was "You can't have Asperger's, you're not an asshole."
I feel hurt every time i fail to correctly gauge and respond in social situations. I worry that every time i fail in this it drives my friends and those i care for further away from me.
This did honestly surprise me, and in retrospect it shouldn't have. For what it's worth, I think you're awesome.
logically i know that this sort of thing wont be an issue for people i consider friends but emotionally is a different thing. I think you're awesome too.

11. Regarding alternative treatments, I: am willing to try almost anything once. although the friend who tried to get me to eat a whole bunch of cilantro to chelate found out that i do have limits on this. I usually don't read the names before the content (who remembers names anyways?). So when I got to this part it was like, "oh! this is [insert friend's name here]!" You seem so on top of what's going on. For a while I thought your lack of awkwardness was one of those personality-type variations you get with this kind of disorder. I did not know that it was simply an apparent lack of awkwardness. Good job. :) Despite the fact that I'm not officially diagnosed, you and I seem to have allot of symptoms in common. Shame there's no room at aspie manor.
