It was recently brought up to me that I, at least, tend to act and think like someone who has this disorder. Oddly enough, I've stumbled on this in the past and wondered about it, but forgot about it. The nurse who brought it up said she wasn't sure if I actually have the syndrome, but it appears I think as if I did because of how I grew up.

Asperger's is an Autistic Spectrum Syndrome, characterized by an inability to understand everyday social systems, basically. It makes me wonder if I do have this syndrome, and if so what will it take to be ok with it, or if I don't how I can overcome the tendencies I have to act/think this way.

I don't really know what to think of the idea of this, although I do find it kind of disturbing that I could be like this only because of how I was raised. If I was born with it that's one thing, but to be like this unneccesarily is really a frustrating idea.

Is anyone, or does anyone know someone with AS? What kind of help do they get for it? How well are they doing? I'd like to know more about it from a more personal angle than the descriptions online. Thanks.
