Aspergers isn't likely to have been recognized when you were a child. I think that my father has/has it, and that most of us in my family have some signs of pervasive developmental disability spectrum stuff. It might explain a few things, but what would be the benefits of getting diagnosed with Asperger's at this point in life? To qualify for benefits it has to have been diagnosed before age 18. There are lots of kids who have trouble getting help that they really do need because professionals hesitated about labeling them "autistic" even though they are.
What would you do differently if you were diagnosed with this? How would it change your perspective on your life or the world in general? There may be some good answers to these questions.
