AGREED. I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome at six, but only because my parents had a referral from my child-psychologist aunt (who insisted I had a non-verbal learning disorder). Quite honestly, the diagnosis has been my saving grace - I've been in therapy since, and my parents have done a lot to get me the resources I need to learn to interact productively with others. Parents don't just...up and decide to do that one day. Diagnoses of autism aren't OTC medications, FFS.

However, I do get pissed off when a neurotypical person refers to Asperger Syndrome as a "disability." Um...it's explicitly described as high-functioning autism, high enough that people who have it can engage in "normal" activities without too much physiological and mental torment. It's really, really not. Severe autism? Oh, definitely. But for Asperger's...having a brain that works slightly differently doesn't make you any less able than any other person.

Its less "disability" and more "quirk" in my experience.

Eventually you get used to dealing with people whose minds work differently and you adapt. Some people can't even tell.
