I have a cousin with Social Anxiety Disorder.
He doesn't like being around people, IOW. When he was finally dragged kicking and screaming (as an adult) to a mental health professional for it they didn't hesitate to let it be known they thought the family really FUBAR'd things. Funny thing was though, he was taking Ritalin for whatever they prescribe Ritalin for in school and whoever was overseeing that didn't notice his SAD either.
I've been accused of being on the spectrum too, but I can turn it on and off, generally folks who think I'm some kind of autistic are folks I don't want to have anything to do with because they're maroons. IANMTU, when I was laid off at the defense contractor I was surprised how upset the departmental employees I worked with every day were and I was considered one of the 'popular' ones unlike every second I experienced of high school.
I'm not sure how old you are, but awareness of Aspergers over the years has really changed. Might explain quite a bit regarding your parents being unaware or unwilling to acknowledge it.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
