Hi. I've never been diagnosed with Aspergers but I always score through the roof with the online tests. My brain is wired differently to others. It's just something I've always known, even as a child. I seem to only really connect with people who think and behave like me. Although I can interact with all people, there are only a few who I know understand me and I understand them.
My life is actually a constant struggle. I have people problems because people think I am rude, when I am not trying to be. Most of the time I can't understand what I've said or done wrong and it kills me. Some days I wake up and say to myself "ok, do not talk today. Just be very quiet and don't talk to anyone" so I don't. Because I say the wrong things (apparently).

Are there medications for people with Aspergers?

Welcome! I don't think there are medications specifically for Asperger's, but there are medications for common comorbid problems, such as anxiety and attention problems.
