Man, I know how it is to have Asperger's, I have it. Hasn't stopped me from growing up and acting my age, even if I do tend to ignore people (or let myself be ignored) during conversations. Asperger's isn't a roadblock, it's a failure to NATURALLY comprehend the vocal cues that show the difference between sincerity and sarcasm, to NATURALLY read body language and facial clues, and sometmes even knowing when someione is talking to you.
In public, I struggle to pay attention when I want to do other things, because... let's face it, I'll never get out of my parents' house if I don't get a job. I've struggled with it for ten years--technically, nine years and nine months--and so I've gotten good at coping with it. The biggest thing I've learned is to always think out my speech before i say anything, and to pay extra close attention to things, because if I don't try to hear vocal clues and see body language an facial signals, I do miss them.
As far as killing humans, I don't particularly think it would help anybody out, since everyoone, ourselves included, would be dead. I mean, maybe you're going a little Seymour (FFX) on us, but killing people only makes more trouble -- kill the people, and you have to do all the work yourself.
