I should just shut up then, because you are the true "know it all?" I am not allowed to discuss, to share my observations, my experience, my knowledge? Sorry, but I am not the one who is acting like a know it all. I did not tell you to shut up. I did discuss the genuine situation, however. You can choose to ignore it and to distract from it with sideline responses, as you have. That's your choice. However, you have made it clear that Asperger's has affected your life seriously. It has affected function, if you will. That would be the justification for diagnosis. Going back to the post that started this part of the thread, however, that was not the case with the people the poster was attempting to self diagnose. It is also often not the case with people who are sometimes diagnosed as such in a world where practitioners too often jump on "the latest" diagnosis and see it in everyone. I am sorry that this discussion makes you mad, but that is not my problem. It is a necessary and worthy discussion.
