Just because you can't see my disability doesn't mean it doesn't exist

Just because you can't see a disability doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  People do not realize the hidden disability associated with aspergers.  The biggest disability is our lack of socialization in which makes it difficult to find or maintain employment because most companies prefer a person that is less capable of performing the job but able to joke around and make friends with others rather than one that is more job oriented and focused on completing tasks but unable to socialize.  The reason I bring up this issue is because when I was speaking with my sister yesterday about how I'm looking for a job due to the fact that I was one of the persons laid off not because of my work ethic but because I am not able to kiss up to the supervisors or joke around with the co-workers like the others that were able to keep working.  I was working as a temporary associate and my sister asked why I didn't accept any other jobs they offered so I told her that I was looking for a full time job where I am hired straight in through the company so I can use the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) to my advantage in which a company has to have just cause to release rather than being able to release me due to the fact that I don't get along with or work well with others.  My sister asked how that is a disability and I told her that sometimes I can't hold back what I'm thinking or I just simply think that some people are complete idiots.  She said that it is retarded that it's a disability and that I should be able to learn to just keep my mouth shut, or maybe the other people think that I'm the idiot.  Well first off I was a little upset that she would refer to anything as retarded because that's a little sensitive to me and second off she doesn't realize how hard it is for someone with aspergers to refrain from saying their thoughts and when we do refrain from it people think that we are being rude because we would just rather not respond because we don't want to speak out of line and don't really know a nicer way to put it.  Just because my disability doesn't involve me missing an arm or leg, blind, deaf, obese or any other obvious thing that should make a person disabled doesn't mean that it isn't there and that is what makes our disability harder because people don't believe it because they can't see it.  And a lot of the times it's not even worth explaining because if a person doesn't realize what aspergers is they will not take the time to learn it.
