nintendogurl1990, I looked at some of your previous posts. I don't know if you still have depression or problems with your home life, but if you don't get counseling or therapy (for your family too, if they still have hoarding problems), you might want to try that.
Since you posted about having problems achieving your goals and wanting to live somewhere else, you might also want to try residential programs for people with Asperger's Syndrome. Here is one I found in your state:

There's also a very nice site called aspiescentral.com that you might prefer. There are less members and the site is a bit more intimate, so you might feel more supported. You didn't post on WP very much, so you might want to try to participate some more so that more people can get to know you.
I understand that you feel that people can't relate to you because you don't want to have AS and other people are anti-cure and have a more positive attitude about their condition. That is a big difference in attitude to overcome, but being negative about something they can't change just makes people feel like crap, that is why they can't relate to you. Maybe it would help you to find a place or person you can just vent about AS and not have them try to say something positive about it. Maybe vent multiple times, for as long as you need to. But you won't be thinking about hating AS forever, trust me, it will just take up too much of your time and energy. When you are ready, you can move on and try to fix the problems you have that make you hate it. If you talk about AS as problems that you need to fix, instead of something that you don't want to have, more people will be able to relate to you and will give you better responses.
In the end, you have to figure out a way of looking at AS and yourself that helps you to live your life. Maybe looking at AS as something you don't want to have is the way your mind is now, but does it make you feel good to think that way? You see that it gives you problems relating to other people. And think about what would happen if you found a group of people who agreed with you that AS sucks. It might feel good that people agreed with you for a while, but then what? Would that be a positive experience, to sit around with people and talk negatively about your condition even though you can't change it? What else would you all talk about? How would that progress?
