Hello, im a 20-something year old male.

I learned i've aspergers syndrome a few months back from a doctor, I was forced against my free will by a
widowed parent who wanted me to make an SSI claim during the time of my visit.

And I've been kinda upset for months about it since then.

Im even worrying I'll be legally labled "incompetent." or "danger to others & self" or worse "mentally ill".

I mean, I dont want to get a to bad start at this forum, and i've read & understood the site rules, And im
kinda had this bothering me for months and since I've noticed this site, I didnt know if i wanted to join or not...Because I even admit that I didnt want anything to do with anyone autistic whatsoever.

And im even worried this will get in the way of things I want to do in life.

But again, Hello and thank your for allowing a site like this to exist.

Hey Lucas Crouch. Welcome to WP.

Hang in there - it sounds like you have a lot of mental sorting out you need to do. This is a big deal for you and you'll find sympathetic people here, I think.

AS alone shouldn't cause you to be labeled incompetent, dangerous or mentally ill. Besides, you don't have to disclose it to anyone. There are plenty of people here who choose not to. And I think that of the people here, there are lots who if you met in rl, you might not know were autistic.

Gary Numan (born Gary Anthony James Webb on 8 March 1958) is an English singer, composer, and musician. He is considered to be one of the pioneers of commercial electronic music and has been described as the "King of synthpop." Gary is widely known for his chart-topping 1979 hits "Are 'Friends' Electric?" (with Tubeway Army) and "Cars". His signature style combines gloomy themes of depersonalisation and alienation accompanied by energetic synthesizer work.
Gary is also known for his love of flying, a passion which has featured in some of his music videos ("Warriors", "I Can't Stop"). He has owned several small aircraft. He is one of a very small handful of flyers with the credentials and qualifications to train aerobatic instructor pilots. Gary guest-starred in "The Power of the Crimp", an episode of the BBC TV series The Mighty Boosh, where a major character, Vince Noir, is a huge Numan fan. Gary recently stated that he likes to go sailing from time to time. Gary was also a member of the Air Training Corps. Numan's brother is also an accomplished pilot.
Gary has Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder which causes restricted social and communication skills. In a 2001 interview, he said: "Polite conversation has never been one of my strong points. Just recently I actually found out that I'd got a mild form of Asperger's syndrome which basically means I have trouble interacting with people. For years, I couldn't understand why people thought I was arrogant, but now it all makes more sense."
