You forgot another reason. Doctors and specialists and the like have the ability to rule out certain things. So if it's not aspergers, it could be something else that might be treatable, or aided with cognitive therapy or whatever. I'm not a doctor or a therapist, but I know they have helped me in the past, even if it has been in little ways.

There are plenty of good reasons to visit your doctor in any case, they have access to resources that are active in your area (support groups, good therapists etc...), they will be able to give you helpful information and/ or refer you to someone else who can give you helpful information. They're not there simply to diagnose you, but to help you as well, especially with any concerns or curiosities a person might have.


True. I was just trying to say that there are very legitimate reasons not to get a diagnosis, too. Like, if you don't need one.

I see now that topics like this is hated, so sorry for making it, but I still need answers. I now realize I left out some important details.
After doing some thinking I realize I've been abused my whole life. People have always used me for their dirty work, such as hitting a girl, " bullying" people and such. Also, when my grandfather died I was still playing Habbo, And I cried for only about a half minute before I went back to play, not even thinking much about it afterwards. At Days I might look sad when I'm actually quite happy, other days I laugh and smile at things that's not funny at all.
Also remembering a situation where this girl were licking some food in front of me in a sexy way, and I did not understand a thing and asked WTF she was doing..

A bit of a bump here, but I think my dad may already know this.. Asked him randomly today how old I was when I learned to ride a bike. He answered quite old and asked why I wondered about it.
I just said I was just wondering, but he had a really suspicious look..
