I have Asperger's Syndrome too, I've been diagnosed with it for about two years now. I haven't really done anything about it, although I'm getting help soon hopefully for self-injury and suicidal thoughts and a recent overdose as well as previous eating issues which weren't an eating disorder, and so on.
It was really confusing at first because I really didn't know two years ago what it meant. So I hastily researched it and hated everything I found. Because of a load of misunderstandings I was really upset about the diagnosis, especially as I thought my parents were trying to blame all of our arguments on me when they had done wrong things too.
Have you tried telling him all of this? Though I guess it's true that you don't have to have a diagnosis of something to need help. I think I might be depressed, I don't know, but I doubt I'll get diagnosed with depression, although it's possible.
I'm really sorry that I'm not much help. :( I guess you should still try to get help with all of these things, and I hope that you work something out.
