I agree with your views on the OP's Asperger's comment. My boyfriend and I both suspect I have Asperger's, and it really explains a lot of my odder quirks that don't seem to make any sense (like my aversion to food texture and being very anxious about food touching on the plate). I just don't like admitting it because of how suddenly everyone on the internet has self-diagnosed themselves with Asperger's and I don't want to be lumped in with them. I'm not trying to be ~internet trendy~ or a special snowflake, and if it turns out I actually do have Asperger's/ASD, then I'd still probably not mention it because of the stigma the internet has attached to people with autism spectrum disorders.

Asperger's is an explanation, not an excuse. You don't use it to act like a total asshat and try to avoid blame.

the thing with Asperger's and other autism spectrum disorders is that if you only look at a long list of symptoms and behaviors, most of us exhibit a few. like you said, we all have odd quirks. it only becomes a disorder when those quirks start interfering with your life - school, work, personal relationships, happiness - in destructive ways.

ugh I could go on but I won't. basically, if it's not affecting your life in any significant way, there's no need to worry about having an ASD, unless you think learning about them would help you understand yourself better.
