Isn't one of the very few pathways for an ASD diagnosis through a psychologist. (i.e. therapy)

The guy went on SNL and told everyone that he has Asperger's Syndrome. So, he is either lying about that or never going to therapy.

the only difference is that you're supposed to be insufferable as an adolescent and you're supposed to grow up and out of it, not be proud you're in a perpetual state of arrested development well into middle age and beyond
