Diagnoses of being on the spectrum can change over time. We had our son tested at 3 1/2 and were told he was the 'far end of normal' at 6 1/2 we had him tested again and he came back with the label of PDD NOS. At the same time I have heard that it's normal for those who are super bright not to get on with their age mates. Just because at 8 they want to talk about Barbie and you want to talk about mummies just means you have vastly different interests because your brain has already gone past and beyond. I've read it's part of the curse of being brainy and isn't something you can help. I think seeing other kids give a negative reaction to what you are saying would give you social anxiety. That said it wouldn't hurt to get tested for asperger’s. Also you just need to find a guy who is as brainy as yourself and I'm sure they exist! Maybe try some clubs on things that you're interested in. You might find, finding likeminded people would change how you feel.
