Why don't you be more strict, that's why [child] is being naughty?

Why don't you ignore [melting down child]?

Why do you think you have Asperger's?

Why can't you manage (reference to coping with the multi-tasking demands and responsibilities of life) - everyone else does?

Why do you have to have it like that (reference to need for sameness and pedantry with regard to placing of objects)?

Why are you so difficult?

Why do you get stressed when you have to go out?

Why does having the label Asperger's syndrome matter to you?

Why do you leave a task, go off to do something and then instead of returning to the original task, you start something else?

...these are probably not what you had in mind, use or discard as you see fit.

Most of the ones I often see are already mentioned. Here's a few more:

What's the difference between stimming vs. fidgeting? paraphrasing: What constitutes a meltdown?

paraphrasing: What constitutes a special interest?

Can I grow out of autism?

Can a brain scan identify autism?

To add to your "Am I autistic?" there's also "Is my child, friend, bf, gf, hubby, wife or pet autistic?"

- Autism? is that like Rainman?

- Aspergers? is that like Tourettes?

- Your child has autism? that must be hard for you (understatement of the century)

- Shouldn't your child be in special school?

...A small sample of questions/statements I've had
