I work in the schools and often test for Asperger's. Although it is sometimes helped by medications, other treatment is also very helpful. With children, social stories are often created so that children learn how to act in social situations as the social deficits are usually the most debilitating part of Asperger's. Saying that, most people with Asperger's grow up to be productive members of society. Regardless if you meet the "full criteria" or not, whatever symptoms you have need to be addressed so you can have a more fulfilling life.
