When I was younger, I had friends. I fit a lot of the AS symptoms, Except the social ones. I mean, I hate gossip, rumors common mainstream jokes (your mom, Thats what she said) because they make no sense and have no logical value. Does this make me non-aspie? Oh, and I do understand sarcasm to an extent, but sometimes not.

And, a lot of people hate me, but I have 2 or 3 good friends.

Hating rumors and gossip isn't an aspie thing. It's a person thing. Even NTs out there hate gossip and rumors.

If you don't have poor social skills or any difficulty with it, I would say you don't because that is one of the main cores of the condition.

Kind of agree, but I guess I couldn't say I do not have problems being social,because I do not shake hands and such. I also do not like being asked social questions.

Oh, did I ever say I didn't have ANY difficulties with it?

I don't think the people on this list are qualified to diagnose you. Those that are qualified wouldn't attempt to diagnose over the internet or with such little information. You will have to seek more information from a licensed psychiatrist if you want better answers.

This is what I can tell you in a very general context:
- All Aspergers Syndrome patients are different
- There is no set list of symptomatic behaviors that work as a checklist for a diagnosis
- It is common for Aspergers Syndrome patients to have plenty of friends during childhood

You said you fit lot of the AS symptoms except the social ones.

Haha, sorry I forgot what was considered social...
