One of the common things I'm seeing in this thread is people saying it's similar to someone saying "stop being depressed" or "how to stop being an idiot" or anything like that.
This isn't a book proposing to teach someone or urge someone to somehow cure themselves of aspergers. It's simply giving recommendations as to how to deal with it - more like saying "how to cope with depression."
Also talking about "getting a life" is just saying that regardless of your goals, without a passable social life you're going to have an awful time.

Also this goes for every hobby, if you do the hobby so much that it starts to get in the way of your regular life, then you should limit the amount of time you spend on the hobby. Most hobbies are fun activities that are either time wasters or skill building. If you are considering a career in painting, then OD painting is fine, or maybe if you want to become a video game designer, playing a lot of video games is also fine, but you should never let it overpower more serious aspects of life like school, expenses and socializing. I'm guessing you already have a handle on that so i'm not going to lecture you, but understand that video games are a little risky in the sense that they are 10x more attention grabbing and time wasting than a book or a game of basketball or any other hobby.

Also consider responsibilities as you're growing up. Meeting the minimum requirements for working class life isn't a cakewalk, and if you get too carefree or roostery and say stuff like "i'm on the right path right now, nothing can go wrong i'm all set" etc etc you might get hit in the face with a bunch of responsibility and not be ready when it comes time to find a paying field of work or handle adult stuff. Always keep on top of your game, keep shooting for the highest level even if you're already pretty high, and make sure you ask others for help, especially adults who are successful.
