No, I don't accept people using AS (or any other mental disorder) as an excuse. Well, I annoy people, say rude things and interrupt people while they're talking too, but when people tell me I'm doing something wrong, I don't use AS and Tourette's as an excuse; I simply apologize and say "Sorry, I didn't want to do that; I'll try to improve". This is what everyone should do, duh.

Some people with Asperger's end up choosing a defense mechanism like aloofness or arrogance to try to protect their egoes. Given that people with Asperger's sometimes have trouble understanding other points of view, this can become very ugly very fast.
Yes, I have troubles understand other points of view, too, and I often think my idea is the best one. But I don't use AS to excuse this. Why should I? Even a lot of NTs have troubles understanding other points of view.
