Asperger’s Sydrome is a neurological disorder that affects mostly males. It is on the autism spectrum, but is considered a much milder case of it. Asperger’s or AS for short, is a rarer disorder on the spectrum and comes with its many gifts but also many curses.
Aspies, or people with AS, often have the intellect and language ability of a normal person, something that differentiates them from the more severe cases of autism. They have great visual and auditory processing skills and have an extensive vocabulary. This intelligence makes many people with AS go into and graduate in the STEM program.
The biggest downside of having AS is a lack of social abilities. Aspies tend to not understand nonliteral language, such as irony and sarcasm. Many Aspies also avoid making eye contact and have trouble starting small conversations. Aspies can obsess over small things and when those things are brought up in a conversation, they will talk about them for long periods of time. People with AS also have issues with making new friends and will often stay and talk with the people they trust the most.
People with AS are often stereotyped as weird or nerdy and that makes them a target for harassment and bullying. Normal people also often confuse people with AS with people further down the autism spectrum.
Asperger’s is a very misunderstood disorder. The people with Asperger’s are great people if you get to know them, which unfortunately is hard for them to know you.

Person 1: Billy is very socially awkward isn’t he. You think he has autism?
Person 2: No, his grades are better than mine.
Person 1: Might be Asperger’s Syndrome then.
Person 2: You’re probably right.

Get the Asperger’s Syndromemug. ANYTHING BUT THIS syndrome occurs when a relationship sours and your significant other doesn't care where the two of you go, as long as it's separate ways. Reconciliation is impossible.

Get the ABT syndromemug. The act of mispronouncing the word hummus and saying Hamas, hence confusing a delicious chick pea dip with a violent Palestinian national group

Get the Hamas Syndromemug. The "Alex Squared Syndrome". In other words, a syndrome that causes the individual to be late to EVERY event. It derived from both Alex's: DM & DB. You know you've got it when you're tired as heck, look a little high, or start arriving late to events in a consecutive sequence. You'll never be early, nor on time, once you've got the syndrome!
DM & DB arrive late to a band event.
DB: Looks like we're both late...AGAIN!!!
DM: And at the same time, for the thousandth time!
DB & DM (togehter): It's the A^2 Syndrome!
DB: Looks like we're both late...AGAIN!!!
DM: And at the same time, for the thousandth time!
DB & DM (togehter): It's the A^2 Syndrome!

Get the A^2 Syndromemug. You can say someone is suffering from Spiderman Syndrome, when they offer unsolicited help, make a mess and leave. Someone else has to clean the spider-web's they left.

Get the Starfish Syndromemug. The full yet unsatisfying feeling that you get after eating a family sized bag of Doritos (or your other favorite snack) as a result of extended periods of surfing the net. Sometimes this has an additional side effect of fatigue and being lethargic.
Guy #1: How's it going?
Guy #2: Oh, I don't feel so good. I can't believe I ate the WHOLE bag of chips and drank the entire 2-liter bottle of soda! Now I have the Dorito syndrome.
Guy #1: How did you let that happen?
Guy#2: Well you see, I got wrapped up in this heated chat room discussion and then an hour later the bag was empty!
