I was assuming you're an adult and don't need your parents' permission to pursue a diagnosis.

Even if you don't wish to, nothing is stopping you from independently finding out how people with AS navigate life more successfully.

I'm encouraging you to do this for yourself and your future. I have a brother who refuses an AS diagnosis who is now 45 and homeless because he refuses all help and refuses to live under very basic rules (clean your room, keep a part-time job).

It's not hard for me to predict that his life isn't going to be as stellar as he thinks it should be, but I also wouldn't sacrifice my peace of mind and energy supporting him when he won't help himself.

So--you have an education and you also have an awareness of some social deficits. I encourage you to investigate ways to compensate for those deficits or life is going to be very, very frustrating for you.
