Oh I know that, you don't live in what is practically a house full of them without catching on to the Aspergers (real) and Aspergers (Internet).
The "experts" I'm dealing with now are confusing the real and internet versions. Their definition of "real" is taken from a bizarre mashup of misdiagnosed cases and internet lore. Combine that with the fact that I don't really fall anywhere in their spectrum...
Next week I get to hopefully show them that I'm smarter than they think I should be ('computer skills' evaluation that consists of stuff I could do with my big toe)

To Hyena on The Doctor companions: I felt so sorry for Rory when he got removed from the time stream. That was the last episode I saw so don't spoil it for me if The Doctor found a way to bring him back or whatever.
I wonder how many of us, here, have Aspergers' or another autism spectrum disorder. Counting myself, there are 5 of us in this thread alone.
Never been diagnosed, fit most of the criteria. Also fit criteria of other things, though. Also, I'm female (so the presentation tends to be non-classic), and have taught myself a great deal about social interaction intellectually.
We've had off-topic threads about who's Aspie, and how many of us are. There's a lot. Check out off-topic (do a search, the latest was a month or two ago), or start a new thread there!
Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.
