If a kod really has something like Asperger syndrome, any concerned parent would want their kid to get help as soon as possible so that he/she wouldn’t end up a sociopath for the rest of his life, or worse end up on the 6pm evening news. A 12 year old in self denial that he/she has any problems and refuses any sort of diagnosis would probably end up a really screwed up sociopath for the rest of his life….just saying…..draw your own conclusions using real life examples.
