In my opinion and experience, it's usually a bad idea to tell people you have Aspergers. I tend to only tell people who are REALLY close to me, or who I know would get it and everything like that.

I actually told my mum that I'm spoiled because they brought me up to be as one. Needles to say, it made her cry badly. I must have been around 14.

I've been called selfish a lot as well and that never bothered me and if the shoe fits, I'll wear it.

Same here, I've actually had to learn to take other people's feelings into consideration. Being a loner my whole life, I didn't realize that I had to put others first sometimes. I still can't help but feel the need to be completely on my own. I don't like asking people for favors because I feel like I'm bothering them.

I actually stole and edited the mantra from an ADD site. "You mean I'm NOT lazy, stupid or crazy?!" (Link)

I've been looking for a new mantra actually LOL I've never tried meditating but I hear it's a really good way to quiet your mind.
