I need help..I have been researching on this topic since 2-3 months specifically collecting experiences of people on the spectrum. I know no one can tell that he/she is on the spectrum or not..but I really need a diagnosis..I've been through a lot of things and can very closely relate to the people I have read about with Asperger's.
