Neurotypicals do unless they have mental illness. I moved completely off the spectrum at the end of high school only to be hit with borderline (which I’m sure I had some features of as well throughout my childhood).
I been treated as ASD throughout my 20s until I saw a specialist who worked extensively with personality disorders. Every other therapist I saw attributed my craziness to ASD. But I’m too socially savvy to be aspergers.
What else can I do while I wait for my appointment?

Asperger is not being used as diagnosis anymore. It’s all ASD, what was considered Asperger before we s just mild ASD, that’s why it’s a spectrum
Yes people with ASD can live normal lives but many need help to navigate social cues and relationships
Ruby socially speaking things you do and say are very socially inappropriate. We aren’t here to diagnose you, you told us your diagnosis. Just telling you that your behaviors aren’t socially acceptable and aren’t socially savvy
ASD isn’t something you move away from, it’s not something that could go away. People with ASD could learn to navigate life and many lead successful lives but they don’t stop being on a spectrum. Who told you don’t have it anymore?
