Be proud of yourself, everyone is natural, if people don't like it screw 'em! Don't change who you are to the preferred design of others!

Jamie is right James, at the end of the day you are entitled to believe what you think and I respect that. Hell I even thought the same at your age, I had only been diagnosed for a year and I was still under the belief that Aspergers Syndrome was a disease and a problem for me. I've aged six years since then, I've been exposed to Aspie culture, learnt about it, and I have come to revel in my independance, my different perspective on life. I'm proud to be an Aspie and i use that title proudly
Maybe it's something which comes with maturity, or as you grow used to it. I don't know when you got diagnosed so I can't be sure. My point of view is that Aspies are different people who don't need to be cured, there are some who disagree with me and I respect that also as there are those with very sever autism who would love who live a life like other people. But I look at people with AS as a cuture, and I am honoured to be part of that culture, that will never change for me
Which is why I have enjoyed being here and why I like DS.com a lot. Ok there have been hiccups so i don't want to sound hippocritcal, but for the most part I love it here and one reason is because everyone is unique and special, like yourself.
