Hi, My step-son was diagnosed with Aspergers when he was 7 or so. He is a happy, healthy teen now. He enjoys boy scouts and martial arts and soccer and other things also. He has friends and they accept him as different, but don't seem to judge him. He has them over and they laugh and do mischeif like teens do. He seems very healthy to me. At school, he encounter bullies sometimes. He is good at dealing with it now. In the past, he had difficulty dealing with bullies. He has learned to cope, with time and support. I see the symptoms od Aspergers in him, but I think about that very rarely. He is a healthy and happy 16 year old boy and I am proud to be his step-dad. I don't think you need to think about your diagnosis at all, unless you need to. Just enjoy your childhood, your only going to be a kid once!
