For a long time now I have thought I may had asperger's. I think of actually getting diagnosed once I'm able to do it on my own.
My friend is convinced I don't have it. She thinks if I diagnosed myself it may be an excuse ( I didn't actually diagnosed myself I said I was thinking of getting diagnosed but that's besides the point)
One of the arguments she made ( and a fairly good one I suppose) is that if i had asperger's it would affect my voice and my voice is...well, unaffected.

Is that true? Does my voice have to be a certain way in order for me to have it?

the only thing that would affect your voice is a speech impediment. so your friend is wrong, a way for you to know if you have aspergers is how aware you are of your surroundings. I can for example listen in on multiple coversations at once, another way, though it may seem childish, there is a book called all cats have aspergers that show the symptoms I noticed in me with perfect accuracy.

Well, if you believe you have it, then you should get diagnosed. Although make sure that you get someone who specializes in it. I've had so many doctors diagnose me and only one knew I had Autism, because she specializes in Autism/Aspergers.
