We are taught to say please and thank you. Unless you have no idea at all when you are expected to say them, I wouldn't presume a correlation with AS.
I have just learn to say please and thank you as a pre-programmed response. I have no idea what the emotional etiquette is for those words are. I have no idea if I am using them too much or not enough or just not using them in the right context. All I know is that if I used then, I don't upset people.
This is pretty much what I meant. You are diagnosed with AS, and you don't know at all when to use them. The fact that you use them is irrelevant, just to avoid confusion for the OP.
There are plenty of people that forget to say please and thank you, and others that don't think it's expected when it really is. These people don't have autism, they just think differently than whoever they were meant to say please and thank you to. This is why it is ultimately just the individual who can know whether or not they truly have AS, as there are so many things that can appear to be AS, but actually aren't, and vice versa.
