you're not a doctor, stop telling people they don't have AS.

I am not diagnosed, my older brother and younger sister were diagnosed for aspergers . My "quirks" are worse than their's, when I was younger and my "quirks" were much worse I refused to see anyone... I was far worse then than now. My youngest sister received an aid to follow her around school (still does) and that only makes her feel worse yet a little safer at the same time, my brother just had someone tell him he has aspergers. I have no insurance so I can not see someone to diagnose me. And tell me this, if I did see someone and they told me what I know already what would that change? How could it HELP me? Could they somehow make me live in this reality rather than that in my mind? Would they give me drugs to make me normal?

Thank you to the people who say you don't need a diagnoses to know how you are/feel. If someone has a good reason to get diagnosed and also has advice on how to get monetary help for seeing someone (only if it would be beneficial) then please send me a message or email

Depends, really. If your still at school etc. then, depending on school, the following will most likely happen:

If not, then at least you have a reason for your quirks and at least that reason is proven/backed up by a psychologist. As for the drugs, I'm glad to say I have never been prescribed any and hopefully never will.
