How can I explain myself?

I know how I am, I think that what I'm doing is normal, I have my routine, and I have my preferences. But when I interact with people and they point out the things that I'm doing, I don't know what to TELL them.

Like, I know it's due to how I am, and the stuff I do is how they came to the conclusion that I had Asperger's. But how can I explain it to everyone else?

I can't just say "Oh, it's who I am," because that just comes off as an arsehole, or possibly a narcissist. But I can't just blame my disability, can I? I can't stand those who will just use their mental disability as an excuse. Sometimes it feels like they don't actually have anything and are just a bit too egotistical, or those that do genuinely have the disability and keep bringing it up just want to get away with being an ***.

I'm not that kind of person though, I've felt like I've had to bring up my Aserger's as a defence, but I just don't know if it's the right decision or not...

  • I think what you're saying is that you don't want to be labelled as Aspie Boy, and feel that everything you say and do is down to your aspergers, and I get that. Only the thing is it probably is a lot of the time. So the only thing we can do is tell the truth.

    If people judge you because of that F#*¥k'em!
