Is there a way to help people with social disorders?
I have aspergers and this makes it difficult to express my emotions or communicate at times.Because of this,I have low self-esteem because I know being around someone who can't properly communicate isn't fun;spending five minutes with someone who uses the word "YOLO" or "swag" will show that.
My aspergers doesn't affect my ability to see right and wrong;it's a very mild case.I occasionally act without thinking and look like a complete idiot,I constantly beat myself up over things that I've said/done years ago.I also have this constant feeling of pressure in my skull that I have had since 5th grade.I feel very apathetic a lot of the times and when I don't,I don't usually have the facial expression to show it.I have a hard time being motivated unless I enjoy the class so my grade in everything but math,drama,and chorus is often low.
Is there a way to help people like me with social disorders?If not a cure,then a treatment?
I have high goals,but sometimes I feel that my disorder will get in the way of them.
Reading this is optional,but I felt it was necessary because I don't know how to handle my hypocrisy here.
I also know someone I go to school with that has a social disorder.Part of this makes him a pathological liar and he doesn't understand that insulting and being belligerent with people you barely know isn't acceptable.This makes him alienated from everyone so he constantly annoys people that are too polite to tell him to go away.I bring him up because I find myself hypocritical here,as I know he can't help his brain chemistry but I can't stand to be around him.
In order to get him to leave me alone,I make fun of his ludicrous stories so he'll go bother someone else that won't point out when he lies.Like when he said his grandmother's baptist church worshiped every religions god(s).
Is it wrong to treat him like this or will it help him grow out of it?NPR did a report on pathological liars and said it had to do with increased white matter and if it's a problem with the structure of the brain he'll never improve himself.Of course,the same could be said for me.

You stated you have a mild case as do many famous people. They are all highly regarded and successful. You do not need to have aspergers to act like an idiot, many people without it do so.
I might have it, anyone might have it but we just do the best we can and not think of it as a disability just something that may effect a persons personality. It is not always a negative thing as some people are better able to focus on subject while ignoring some of the things people say. I wouldn't care if I had it nor would I want to delve into all the degrees and possibilities as I would no doubt pick up any bad characteristics. Live your life to the best of your ability as I don't think you have anything that would hold you back.
