If you are an asshole (hypothetical useage), then you are still an asshole with Asperger's. But with Asperger's you aren't alone in the question of why you are an asshole, and enough people are an asshole for the same reason that someone figured out how those people can seem like less of an asshole to people without Asperger's.
Replace "asshole" with pretty much any character trait you want.
Tldr:. Use the tools your therapist gives you to understand yourself and how you are different, then use that understanding to improve your (insert what you want to get better at).

It's not an excuse for sure, but it has 100% helped me deal with a lot of things that have plagued me that I had just written off as "whatever's".
I'm no longer saying whatever, and I'm facing things head on.
Feels good man.
Therapist is a really good dude who has actually made me feel comfortable enough to open up to without worrying about any consequence. He's helped me go from a person who worries about a million things that I have zero control over, to a person who worries about a handful of things that I have entire control over.
