Some people can be unempathetic or outright rude, don't let it get to you or get you down. You never know what these people may be going through themselves, and such behaviors are often the result of difficult situations or an inferiority complex. If someone is unsure about there own choices, they may put others down to justify themselves.
Trying to reason or argue with such people is a waste of your effort, rather focus on finding people who understand you. Ignore and avoid the detractors.
Regarding the emergence of your own aspergers. People have only been aware of the autism spectrum in recent times, it is completely possible that someone in your family history had/has it, but was undiagnosed because nobody knew what to call it at the time. You could try looking back through your family tree for autism-like traits, if you're interested of course.
I am pretty decent at getting inside peoples head (I'm also into Social Psychology, you know how AS's are when they like a subject, also goes with being so Empathic) so if I sense that they're dealing with something etc. I will act accordingly, I really try to stay humble.
