Have you guys sufferred from facing more difficult situations if people know you have Aspergers or at least are a little weird? This makes it extra difficult if people in my family interact with me, they except me to do something odd and are quick to criciticize my behavior, even if other people do the same thing. Is there any way around this?

you could ask them to stop making an example of you whenever you think it's occuring(in the moment that is) so it sticks in their minds.

if they're harsher on you than on others, they're likely unconsciously trying to send a message without realizing it. you should let them know that you're trying and you would like them to ease up on being quick to criticize.
