You have to understand that most Asperger’s cases are still higher-functioning special ed students. A lot of what I deal with are severely Autistic students that can barely write if at all, can barely hold a conversation if at all, might not be capable of learning their own address, and in one case was completely incapable of making a decision of their own. Asperger’s, even in more challenged cases, can talk, know or are successfully learning basic arithmetic, reading, and writing, can go to the bathroom on their own without needing to be reminded or monitored (unless there are other conditions present). Asperger’s, Cerebral Palsy, and the emotionally disturbed are as close as I get to an average student most of the time. As far as self-diagnosis, the real danger is when you self-diagnosis for something that involves taking a strong medication. Either way, I don’t favor the notion that one with mild disorders (mild being the only way you’re going to self-diagnose before somepony else diagnoses for you) should lean on their disability like a crutch. Don’t just say, “I have this so that’s my excuse.”
If that’s a reference or song lyrics, I don’t recognize them.
Tomorrow.
I’m going to guess that’s part of a bit, since I have no idea why you’d be saying that to me.
