I would love to get a gun, but the Asperger’s Syndrome would show on a background check.

Think that hurts me.

Why would it show? Have you ever committed a felony level crime or been adjudicated as mentally ill or a domestic threat? I would suggest a very good and careful instructor for someone with your issues, but I can’t see why, off the top of my head, you should be considered inherently ineligible.

Now, if _you_ feel you are unsafe with a firearm, that is a separate issue and you should listen to your own heart then. But short of that, I’d say it’s more a matter of someone who understands how you learn and is willing to work with it than it is anything else.

You are just as permitted to be able to defend your person as any other citizen.
