A minor form of autism diagnosed to every second kid in the USA who's too lazy to get their ass off the MMOs and go outside.
Also: Fake syndrome so parents don't think their kids are failures.

Aspergers Syndrome is a disorder similiar to Autism. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space. Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights, the person with AS may prefer soft clothing, certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see

A life-long disorder that affects the way the nervous system is set up, diagnoses ranging from borderline to severe. Oddities in people with Asperger's leads to problems socially. As the person inflicted gets older, they're more likely to control the more disabling features. You could think of it as the linking point between Autism and AD(H)D. More debilitating than AD(H)D, benign compared to Autism. Usually leads to or is co-morbid with other disorders.

A social disorder under the autism spectrum. People with aspergers tend to have generally high iq's but may have trouble expressing their thoughts. They tend to excell at a few subjects and stink at others. Even those subjects that they are good at, they often can still fail at it. One with aspergers may be able to express an answer, but not how they came to it. Some can tend to get wrapped up in online video games do to the fact that they are often noted as social outcasts. One with aspergers often will have their symptoms disappear as they get older, yet may experience the same troubles. People with aspergers often may view the fine details as more important that the big picture, and pay incredibly close attension to them. They also tend to be incredibly single minded, yet not be able to acknowledge it.

A disorder that makes life for people around them really hard.

A so called mental disability with little hard evidence behind it.Before you label me as an ignorant dick head i'm quite liberal and usually tolerant of others and my own brother has aspergers.

But it pisses me off when he constantly antagonises me and my parents refuse to do anything about it and when he upsets them and visa versa like this teaches him anything or helps him when he fails in school socially and academically.

And how it's diagnosed by a single test rather than a doctor or psychologist and could just be someone who is a bit of a twat or struggles socially academically or could grow out instead it's 'aspergers' and basically labels for them life.

Basically the term aspergers could be applied to anyone.

A syndrome that sounds suspiciously like "ass burgers."

An individual with Aspergers syndrome is above average intelligence and appears to have normal social and communication and looks and talks normal as well.The only thing that is different about them is that they love star trek,star wars,star gate etc...

being terrified of their own shadow (basically everything)
severely impaired social functioning
EXTREME dependency (the same level as a five year old)
Mild,moderate to severe learning difficulties
Can't play sports because they are terrified of the ball or even the bat!
