Yeah, that could be a risk, especially in the absence of a professional diagnosis. Autism spectrum disorder comes with a ton of comorbidity, meaning that there are a lot of other problems that commonly coexist with autism, and informal online communities for Aspergers seem to downplay that aspect pretty aggressively. There are places where you can basically copy-paste a description of social anxiety disorder and they'll tell you you're an Aspie.
