Often part of the resistance comes from the general societal biases... Aspergers gets classified as a thing you "have," like the pox, or a wart on your nose. I used to resist it, too, under that guise. But it's really just a tool for self-understanding... I've spent the better part of 20 years studying Sensory-Processing Sensitivity (often an Aspergers lookalike, but different) and people resist it, as well, because it gets classified as something you "have." Well, no. You don't. It's a way you're wired.
