I have never claimed to be an expert, though I probably have more knowledge than the average person about disability issues through my work & personal circumstances.
Aspergers sufferers typically have difficulty understanding and relating to other people and have poor social and interpersonal skills as a result, which can lead to problems holding down a job, keeping friends and keeping a partner long term.
As a result, becoming over defensive is one of the typical traits of those with the condition as, over time, sufferers grow tired of the negative comments repeatedly directed at them. It can also lead to them becoming sour over time as they don't understand what they are doing and why people dislike their attempts to interact.
I do hope that you can take a look at the Wrong Planet link; people that I know with similar conditions to yourself tell me that they find it invaluable. If you decide to join the forum, it would be prudent to warn you about the rules about how members are expected to interact with each other:
