You don't live with me.
Listen, it's no surprise if you don't believe it to be correct diagnosis for me. I'm very good at what I do. It helps that my study of human behavior as an obsession has allowed me to understand how social structures work, and I have always been rather talented at mimicry. Had I been born in the nineties and been the exact same child as I was in the seventies and eighties, there is no doubt in my mind, I would have been diagnosed as autistic at a young age. It was glaringly obvious. The other reason it's difficult for you to believe is because you think you know what aspergers is supposed to look like. Studies have found that aspergers does not manifest the same in females as it does in males. In fact, early studies believed so well that it only occurred in males, they only studied males when they came up with their criteria for diagnoses. Females ends up being misdiagnosed several times over because of old gender bias.
I'm not one to just accept whatever diagnosis is thrown at me, and there have been a couple. Once I started educating myself on what female aspergers looks like, it was like the puzzle of me was finally solved. This is the only diagnosis that I have agreed with completely.

Why do you still react to the same people in the same way after a long time if? I'll add a new question as well... Do you think you lack the ability to change?
maybe for some, (including me) they learned through positive reinforcement that this behavior gets the results they want. i don't lack the ability to change, but i think i have to want to, and getting positive results is no incentive to stop a behavior to me.
