Yes, being an Asperger is only the brain which connected differently. It is not a "handicap". Someone who would tell this to an Asperger, would simply be someone who doesn't understand the syndrome. But it's nothing to be angry about. Indeed, it is necessary to have a good ability and will to put yourself in the shoes of others in order to understand someone who is different. Also, difference often entail fear. So this type of misunderstanding and negative reaction can unfortunately happen.
I hate it when someone sees being an Aspie as being affected by some crippling disease.
A random NT: Oh, your Autistic, I'm so sorry.
Me: Uh, Autism isn't a bad thing.
It is better not to say you are Asperger, because you need to live it or be nearly a specialist to understand that it is only the brain connected differently, and what it entails.
But, I am an Aspie.

I know, it is so hard to lie, and I feel wrong for hiding who I am.

No need to hide who you are!
I tell a lot about myself to people, my hobbies, my interests, what i think, and i try to know them. Why would they need to know i am Asperger? What does it change for them?
People do like me and i wouldn't ruin the relationship just by saying i am asperger because that would probably not been understood properly because too complex and too long to explain.
I even saw on the forum, someone speaking of different "species" : AS and NT , (this happens rarely, but sometimes in some fearful minds!).

Sorry, it's just that I am a truthful persona and I always viewed being an Aspie as nothing to be ashamed of, I never saw a reason not to tell someone that I am one.

Be proud of yourself. You may do what you want. The reasons are in the previous posts.

I am not. Why would you think that?

Change "chav" or "hippie" to "crazy cat lady," "bookworm" (I was good at academics, terrible at sports and socializing), and "that silly girl who was always obsessed with one thing or another" and that's me! The cat lady and bookish parts still apply, but I am much more active socially and in sports (tennis) than I was growing up.
