My beef isnt with anyone in this thread, and my skepticism of self diagnosis is more directed at peoples willingness to go over the head of people who have put years of medical training into what they do. Your parents arent diagnosticians. If you want to just bury your head and insist that mommy knows best, then go ahead. It doesnt affect me in the slightest. You don't freaking know me.

Don't think anyone was trying to be a dick. It's just that the symptoms, a long with other syndromes on the Autism Spectrum, can be quite vague, and effect more than just those with Aspergers. I mean, it would be easy for someone to say "Well, f***, I am obsessed with wrestling, all my tapes are in alphabetical order, and I was a weird kid(what kid isn't?). It must be Aspergers!" and then never pursue it, from a medial/psychological stand-point. That does more harm than good to those actually with it. I mean, hell, 90% of the symptoms I've read about here in this thread and previous threads on the topic apply to me, but I know I don't have it(something that is also backed up by medical science) That's cool. I just hate being doubted due to having no control over my lack of official word. Not to mention, I don't really trust them anyway. I and my parents know myself a lot better than some random stranger who'd just observe me for an hour or so. But, your parents don't have years of training with the syndrome.

Sometimes I wonder if I have some sort of mild case of Asperger's. But maybe I'm just awkward.
