There is no borderline, you are on the autism spectrum or not - could have aspergers, which is no real problem just a different way of thinking and seeing. As you will know them best and not easy to diagnose anyway, find out as much as you can and then need to decide if want to be diagnosed, not everyone does.
My opinion is that accurate diagnosis is generally a good thing, for several reasons. Firstly, if you don't have Aspergers Syndrome, but something else, it affects what you can do to help yourself (although there is a big overlap between AS and several other disorders/ learning problems etc). Also, it is helpful for family and friends if they are interested about finding out things for themselves. Plus, there a number of medications that are helpful for some people, or common problems like food sensitivities/ intolerance that are obviously good to be aware of.

Borderline -- Anything
The meaning of borderline is that there is a defined area -
think of a tennis court.
There are specific criteria that must be met for something to BE "IN" that defined space.
Everything that does not fit that criteria is considered "OUTSIDE" of that defined area.....................almost..............
What about the ones that hit on the line, neither IN, nor OUT.
Those would be considered BORDERLINE.
What is true in tennis, can also be true in Autism, or with a disease, or about anything.
