Welcome, Armorer.
The Hippocratic Oath, I believe, is a beautiful thing. Do all doctors follow it? Doubtful. But I suspect many do.
(That said, I'm NOT the first person to rush to a doctor with an issue, physical or psychological; I'm very private and very anxious).
I personally don't believe AS to be a "Learning Disability" in the strict sense of the phrase. Perhaps a "Social Learning Disability," but not a learning disability, per se. I feel that those with AS have the potential to learn a given topic more completely and thoroughly than "neurotypical" people, if given the opportunity.
Does that make people with AS universally better than those who are "normal?" Hardly. We're all different, that's all. No better and no worse.
We just need space to learn and grow. Maybe more than others, but we'll do our best to make up for it. Honest!
Regards and warm wishes to all.
