I tend to just come across as strange or odd as well, so people don't think I have Asperger's, they just say I'm eccentric. However, I would like to mention something else. Although people do think of Sheldon on "The Big Bang Theory" when they think of people with Asperger's, it has never been said on the show that he has it. People assume it. The writers of the show say that they don't say that. They just call it him being Sheldon or "Sheldonisms". Abed on Community is a character written to have Asperger's. I'm not like him either. I have some social skills, it's just very hard for me. People don't think I have it because I'm an actor, but something clicks when I'm acting that doesn't click when I'm not that makes me able to become someone else on stage or film. Anyway, this is a very interesting discussion and I'm enjoying it.
