AS is a developmental disorder -- which means it has run its course by adulthood. Most of what you're describing does not fit with my knowledge of AS.

AS is more about not having a theory of mind -- not being able to understand that other people have experiences totally separate from one, that someone else has thoughts in the same way one does. It isn't about paranoia -- paranoia requires a theory of mind.

I'm very happy that you've seen a new doctor, and I hope that this doctor provides a more effective treatment regimen for you. I'm also happy for you if AS helps sooth your distress. I hope that a better understanding of the disorder will help you learn to cope with your experience in a way which is more comfortable for you.
