A mild form of Autism that, most notably, stunts social interactions and/or makes them very awkward. People with Asperger's (abbreviated to AS) have trouble interacting with people, mostly out of fear that they'll make it awkward, or that they'll say something wrong.
Other symptoms of Asperger's include lack of eye contact, sensitive hearing, and obsessive behavior. Unfortunately, people also tend to self-diagnose themselves with Asperger's, trying to have an excuse for any social awkwardness they may experience.
Since people with Asperger's are normally terrified of the neurotypical (or nypical, if you want to use an Aspie's term) world, we tend to focus more on academic/non-social lifestyles. For example, we may focus on music, art, literature, or solo video game playing.

Since I was in 1st grade, I knew I had Asperger's Syndrome. However, now that I have an understanding as to what it is, I have a proper explanation as to why I've acted the way I have all my life, what with social awkwardness and fear of staring contests.

A very real condition which makes social activities more difficult, but does not account for a lack of emotions. Contrary to some people’s beliefs, you can be an actual diagnosed Aspie and be proud of it. It’s not something that all Aspies feel the need to hide, and that doesn’t make their condition any less real.

Me: “Cut your bullshit! Everyone expresses themselves in different ways!”

A mental disorder (I think that's the right term) which is basically a milder form of autism. It varies from person to person.
It has many symptoms, but if you call them that, instead of the more PC, "tendancies" then you are automatically an asshole.
Some tendencies include:
Being awesome at math (because rain man says we are).
Not being able to make jokes (or friends).
Unintentionally acting like an asshole, even though we may spend a lot of time trying to act like what normal people do, 'n stuff.
Apparently choosing to be like this.
Getting bullied.
Being bullies.
Reading.
Having our parents being blamed for our condition.
Being told that our problems aren't as bad or important as those faced by people with high functioning autism, even though the main difference is the time we start speaking.
Having to deal with idiots who self diagnose because they dont like being around people all the time.
Using our diagnosis as a "get out of jail free" card.
Liking MLP.

A neurological disorder that only 5-7% of the people diagnosed actually have. Most people who claim to have this disorder are just socially awkward teenagers who have parents with little willpower who didn't force them to socialize when they were young and let them play N64 all day.
Like ADHD in the 90's and the early 00's, Asperger's Syndrome has become the chic diagnosis of today that parents accept so that they don't have to face the fact that they failed as parents.
Doctors and Psychiatrists also refuse to speak up because they typically receive kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies for prescribing their products, making the probability of over diagnosis high.
Some annoying qualities of Aspies include:
- Bragging about having a mild form of autism
- Pretending that Autism automatically means "genius" and that they should be allowed to play xbox all day without any responsibility because they could do great things, but choose not to
- Sitting in the back of class writing Yu-Gi-Oh fan fiction and mumbling about "conformists"
- Thinking creativity means regurgitating things they see on TV verbatim
- Writing walls of text about how every mathematician, astronomer, artist, musician and world leader in human history had Asperger's

Aspies are supposed to be so much smarter and more creative than us mere mortals, yet they all copy-paste the same wikipedia definition of Asperger's Syndrome on Urban Dictionary without looking to see if anyone else has done it yet.

A self-diagnosed developmental disorder contracted by reading the Wikipedia page about the condition. Having Asperger's means that you are smarter than everyone else and it totally forgives all of the lazy anti-social choices you make in life.

A form of higher functioning autism. Generally, victims or of average to above average intelligence, most notably being both creative and extremely gifted in subjects which require logical thought such as mathematics. While academically Asperger's Syndrome sufferers excel, their development of social skills is limited. Generally, a victim will lack the words to say something, the inclination to say something or the guts to say what they feel, often too nervous or intimidated to enter conversation. In addition, they despise eye contact, dislike being hugged and value their personal space. Some may have seemingly odd habits such as flapping their hands, but not all. Also, narrow and somewhat peculiar hobbies are common. Those with AS tend to have an extremely active or extremely passive lifestyle, lack of self esteem, problems sleeping, generaly use very informal, complex language during conversation and, unlike loners, actually wish to fit in.
Bill Gates has Asperger's Syndrome, and there is believed to be a strong possibility that Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein also had this form of autism.
While trying to be modest, I do have above average intelligence, excelling in logical thinking subjects such as mathematics and philosophy. Whenever I want to say something I never know the way how, just shutting up and listening to the rest of the conversation. I try to avoid eye contact, often viewing it as a sign of impoliteness for me to make eye contact with someone walking by, dislike being hugged and apparently (according to old school reports, not my memory) attacked other children who invaded my space at the age of 5. I do not have any odd habits, but odd hobbies such as breakdancing and drawing anime art. I have an extremely passive lifestyle (in laymen's terms, im a lazy sod), low confidence, sleeping problems, use large polysyllabic words in general conversation and, like an Asperger's Syndrome sufferer, wish to fit in. I probably have Asperger's.

A condition on the Autism Spectrum Disorder. Symptoms can include lack of flexible thinking, lack of social skills and a lack of empathy.
Oh, please, the only reason people see this as a "fake disorder" is due to a very small percentage in court cases use it to get off the hook. Thusly, we have all these people claiming that more than half of Aspies on the internet are faking it.
People who make fun of Aspies, take a time to think about this: Heather Kuzmich (hot fashion model) and contestant of America's Next Top Model, has Asperger's
