Everybody seems to think that 'Am I an Aspie?" is a tough question. Actually it's easy. If you match most of the traits, you are. You don't need to double-check and ask people.

I don't think you could say it any better.
Why is it the psychiatric community doesn't feel this way? Why are they so inclined to say "immaturity," instead of AS? Even when all the traits are present--they still tend to say "immaturity."
I can see why they would say that. We're intelligent and often capable people, we appear normal, so why the special treatment?
But what does that matter? If you have AS, you should be treated like someone who has AS. And *not* an immature NT.
Any agreeance on this?
