Actually having Aspergers is not the same as self-diagnosing with Aspergers on the internet.

It's my experience that it's ususally not that hard to tell whether someone is actually on the spectrum or appropriating a disorder to be a jerk.

You're so right...

hi. question.
I self-diagnosed with AS on the internet after about three months of researching the topic, visiting AS forums and asking people questions about it, etc.
While seeing a psychiatrist for other issues, I brought this up, we went through the DSM-IV criteria, and he said that yeah, I likely have it
But he didn't bother with making it official since I wasn't there about that anyway.
Am I allowed to claim I have AS, or do I still fall under the category of self-diagnosed fakers on the internet?

Hey, you're not a faker, but if this is something important in your life, I'd urge you to get an official diagnosis, if only for yourself so you can go from there and get peace of mind. You might in fact not have Asperger's (there are other forms of high functioning autism), or you might be gifted with pseudo-Asperger symptoms. Either way, you're better of knowing.

It's immaterial so long as you don't use either diagnosis/agreement/whatever to excuse being a jerk.

If you self-diagnosed after reading the DSM-IV, then you can make the claim as far as I'm concerned.

But I'd have it made official, just in case you need it to be in the future.

You sound legitimate so you could, but I agree with those who say you should get an official diagnosis.
