I got upset because a disease is not something you are born with. Are some people in this world just plain stupid, or what? No offence to you Miriel, but them calling it that means they're not taking it seriously, and if a fact like that directly affected you, you would be offended as well.

Ender, I know once again that you weren't saying it about me, but, in a way, I do hope I have it. Why? So I know there are more people similar to me. No other reason. I already have people other than myself who're convinced I have AS, but sometimes I think my traits are more on the side of autism, as I always prefer to be alone and don't want any social interaction.

So, don't get me wrong, but please don't go thinking that people 'like to think they have AS' for a way of bragging or sympathy. If you suspected you had AS, there's nothing that isn't deadly serious about it. This is a life-changing discovery for anyone, and the assessment I'm having next month will hopefully bring an end to my current quest for truth.
