Aspies are mysterious, intelligent, rather ungraceful, and eccentric humans with obsessive tendencies, critical intellectual, creative and/or artistic abilities, an impaired "sixth sense", and a certain innate immunization against groupthink. They may not always behave or respond like you expect, but they're still cool and interesting people.
My cousin is an Aspie. She's a bit weird and lonely, but very studious and intelligent. Her room is full of science stuff and arts, and she did the recital at my aunt's funeral. She was in the top 1000 SAT scores of the state this year.

Really a term pointing out the personality type of people who may or may not be diagnosed with the Asperger's syndrome diagnosis. It is NOT "a nickname for someone with that diagnosis", the aspie term points to the personality type as such, not to the clinical diagnosis.
Many aspies function too well in life to ever get the clinical diagnosis, since the criteria includes "the disturbance causes clinically significant impairments in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning."
Within the aspie community, the aspie term is for all of the people with the aspie personality style.
Many with Asperger's syndrome (or next of kin to people with the diagnosis) shun the concept of "being your diagnosis" and therefore don't consider themselves aspies, but very literally just "a person with Asperger's syndrome".
So, an "aspie" is a person with an aspie personality who believes in the aspie concept and considers himself/herself an aspie. Many who have Asperger's syndrome are not aspies, and many who don't have the clinical diagnosis and won't ever get one may be aspies.

Someone with Asperger Syndrome or mild autism. Originates from the many tard tales of 4chan's /b/ (random) board. Gained popularity due to the popularity of tard tales and the well known fact that many of /b/'s users are aspies.
