Aspergers is not a disability. Aspergers is an asset. We are the ones in the right, NT are the ignorant ones in the wrong who don't understand our superior thinking processes.

I don't think arrogance is the answer to anything.

Asperger's is...Asperger's. What we do with it (to a certain extent) is what makes Asperger's an asset or disability (or ______ fill in the blank). It is true that, at certain points, the circumstances that surround an individual are 'bigger' than that individual...but I'm one of the Aspies on WP trying to prove that most day-to-day circumstances CAN be altered so that my Asperger's doesn't carry through situations as a disadvantage (i.e. 'disability'). Whaddya think about that?

Nobody's right or wrong. People are just people, and always will be. Life only comes once to every person, and we'll all be dead one day, so I'm not going to spend my whole life trying to emotionally compete with who's right and who's wrong. Aspies are no better or worse than NTs, we're all human, we all have emotions, NTs aren't some sort of social ogres, they are just people trying to live a life just like Aspies are. I have just as much right of being on this planet as the next person.

No matter who you are or what you're doing, life is always going to seem unfair in some ways.

It's not an "Us and them"

We're all human, everybody is different.

Can someone tell me how to use my superior Aspergian thinking to get everything organized and keep it that way? I keep getting distracted by background story minutiae about my favorite video games.

I don't want to be anyone else, but I can't understand how being unable to leave my apartment often isn't a disability.
