I have four children, and my youngest is nearly 15. In my experience teens can be egocentric and experience unexpected mood swings. I have no idea how I have been able to cope with four teens.
I don't think your behavior is abnormal for someone of your age especially having AS. Sometimes parents become exasperated with their teenagers behavior and actions. However, calling you selfish is not helpful.

Thanks, you've made me feel so much better. But what about when my 8 year old (and immature) sister wants to "Spend time with me" and I'm not in the mood? I tell her that, but she never listens, or gets cross. Is it just me being a moody teenager, or could I do better. I don't want to force myself to actually do something with her, I want to do it because I want to, which normally I don't. Same with other people, I think I've drifted apart from my Dad (Who I only see every week unless he's away, like he is now).
