Just wanted to add my 2 cents. I wrote a long reply yesterday but there was a technical problem or something when I tried to post.
I believe people with AS just happen to also have severe psychosomatic issues. just because the world is a bad place for aspies. because it IS a bad place for aspies and because many people (at school and such) are mean to aspies. And even if there is love at home we are not that good at actually feeling loved because we are bad at getting body language and whatever.
So I personally believe if an Aspie has trouble chances are it's not the AS itself but an emotional damage. (or if it is it can be helped with meds or whatever as the problem is neurological).
my problem was, and that could apply to you to, that I had came to believe that life is inherently bad/difficult. people are inherently bad/mean/full of hatred. And generally there is no love in this world.
I figured out I was wrong. There is just as much love in the world AS ONE BELIVES THERE IS. It's like a cake and I taKe as much as I want (not nessecarily from other people but from within, or even a movie, or cat videos or whatever). It's just a matter of believing and the "glasses I have on". Not all people are bad. And certainly not all lives are hard (believe me). My life was hard, and I until recently believed that all lives, always, forvever, have to be hard and harsh. that's wrong. it's all an illusion. It's all up to me (not the facts of my life, but how I feel about it.). Last week I got insulted by a neo-nazi (I'm from middle-east living in Germany). Surely I answered back. BUT BUT BUT: I didn't think about it that much because now I KNOW that not everyone is like that. Before I started believing in the stuff I just said, I belived everyone is bad. Now I blelieve most people are nice (yes even Germans lol).
Lastly I think everyone should do his best to love himself. Try to feel love. I don't know how. watch a romantic movie and try to copy the feeling and project it onto yourself by will later or something. or get a cat and pet it and try to copy the feeling. I dont know. go to church if you have to (i don't.).

Possibly Aspie (diagnosed by an autism expert, doc moves abroad, forced to change docs and all say it's schizophrenia NOS or schizo-affective disorde or personality disorders. initial doc was a colleague of uncle Simon btw. you do the math.). (edit: by Uncle Simon I mean Simon Baron Cohen. Just to clear things up.)
