To be fair, there ARE a lot of people who make up non-existent problems to get some attention in fandom. I do tend to take everything I see online with a grain of salt at first (though of course I wouldn't dream of calling anyone a liar: I just wait to know them a bit better), because I've seen the same thing happening WAY too many times: Random Fan does or says something sucky, gets called out on it, and goes all "I have Asperger's!" as a response, even though they never showed any kind of sign associated with it. And when that happens, I can't help but assume they're making it up to have a free pass for their hasshattery. As an Aspie myself, I can't help but think they're a huge part of the reason why so many people on the internet think that Aspie = asshole-who-made-up-a-lousy-excuse. Of course assuming is bad and all, but those people? They sure are not helping.

Again, the only thing I was saying is that THERE IS NOTHING IN OP'S SECRET to suggest the people OP is talking about are making up problems that don't exist, and whether their problems are real or not is not actually relevant (though OP seems to assume they are, with the repeatedly saying that they feel lucky not to be in that situation).

Newsflash: There are actually aspies who are assholes. And they might use their diagnosis as an excuse. Hell, they might even use it as an excuse to not work on themselves.

Sensible people will reply: "But having aspergers doesn't give you a free pass to be a jerkass," instead of going "Ohhh well okay then."

People, diagnosed by a doctor or themselves, who claim that aspergers is the reason they're dicks are wrong, and doing a dickish thing. People who jump to the conclusion that aspies are dicks because some people use it as an excuse are also doing a dickish thing.
