I'm self-diagnosed only, but have believed for a while that I may have a form of Aspergers. Pretty much ever since I knew what it was. And certainly have, since early 20's, had a mild form of social anxiety. These days I'm several years removed from the peer pressures of having a robust social life, though I can't complain about those years. I did have a great core group of friends throughout college. The "condition" certainly in many ways has been a curse over the years, but at the same time, now that I think I understand it, I feel it's a blessing. I have many things I want to accomplish in life. The blessing is, given that these days I'm highly focused and motivated with my projects, it would almost be impossible (and imagine I likely would have abandoned them) had I felt those efforts were in any way infringing on the social needs (status?) a typical person seems to seek out. But I can see how, without those same motivations / aspirations I have, it could easily be considered a disease and something a person would have a hard time coping with.
