I have recently learned from my parents that I have Asperger's Syndrome. I'm 16, and always thought I was just socially awkward, but after reading through the articles on this website it seems to describe me. I was told that I adjusted to it over time, and that I was never given special treatment so that I would, and I think that if they told me I had it and I looked it up than I wouldn't have been able to adjust as well as I have.
When I heard my parents say I had it, I didn't think I would feel bad about it or anything, because I heard them talk about my cousin who acts a lot like I used to and they mentioned that I had it, so I asked to make sure I heard right, and at first I thought it was no big deal. However, it's been bugging me a bit ever since, and I don't even understand why it bugs me; it's nothing bad or anything, it's something I've had throughout my life, but it still bugs me even though I've learned to deal with it. It's not even really a change. Does anyone have any insight on this?
