Don't worry, people vent here!

And I totally understand. The reason why I don't want to risk my family finding out about the Asperger's is because half the family kind of "want" me to have it in a...very discouraging "well that explains a lot" way, and the others would just turn it into a blame game of some kind. It's kind of a lose-lose whether I do or don't have it, and if I do have it, well...I'm going into politics, and I'm going to have the deck stacked against me enough as it is, I don't need this following me around too.

When people tell me I have Asperger's, I'm about 90% sure I don't, and the only reason that 10% exists is because the Asperger's suspicions came up when I was in high school. I went and looked up online resources, read some books, took the advice and tips and stuff offered in them and applied them to myself and they worked fantastically well. I attribute a huge part of my academic turnaround in highschool to that little self-help streak, but not enough to attribute more than 10% credence to my friend's and mother's suspicions.

I coped well enough on my own for the last two decades, why turn it into a medical condition that will get me little help at this stage in my life and may be detrimental to my future? -_-

It sucks to hear what your mother turned it into, and you probably are better off for not getting it medically checked out.
