yes it is possable to have Aspergers and be social
My cousins daughter has it. When she was young she was not very social. Now she is. Shes been in plays and works at a theme park.
Autism in all its forms is so wide and so new , they are discovering things every day.
As with PDD which my son has, He went from not talking to this very talkive person. Loves ppl
heres a link not sure if it will help

you said ((Right now, she actually burns me out with her constantly having issues with others, the one-sided conversations, and her constant complaints about life and issues))))
with my son when he was younger it was always someone elses fault. His convos were very one sided.
If you can try to get her to see the good parts of life , which i know is hard for them at times. It will help.
Sounds like she could have alittle bit of OCD like my son.
((christina))))))) you are a good friend to her
I want you to know this , with my son even at the best of times I did get burned out.
Do what you can , but take care of you too.
Just you being her friend is a help. Trust me on that one
hope this helped alittle
