EX:
It's a shame he failed this year. He got all hundreds on the tests and quizzes, but didn't turn in a single page of homework. I guess it's just his aspergers.
Aspy: doesn't the thesis make more sense if it started two sentences before, and gradually mentioned the subject over the whole article.
Teacher: Please do the assignment as instructed. It doesn't matter as much as getting it done and getting a good grade.
Aspy: but it does matter. The turn of the thesis effects the outcome of the whole article. Besides, aren't we supposed to learn, and isn't the best way to learn to change methods and try new thing?
Teacher: I know you think it matters, but if you just trust me, it really doesn't. If you want to do it on your own time, that's ok.
Aspy: *gives while speech over again*

Aspergers (or Aspies) are individuals far smarter than most of us who fall high on the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Aspies often are socially awkward, or have no awareness of social acceptance. Those on the spectrum are often highly intellectual, including Bill Gates and Albert Einstien. Aspies are "rule followers". It is not uncommon for Those with ASD to lack empathy, have a hard time grasping basic life skill concepts or have a "filter", yet they excel in what is important to them, which is usually 1-2 major focuses or fascinations; math, science, computers, legos, art, quantum physics, etc. Secluding, or introverting is a normal part of this disorder, as well as having sensory issues to lights, sounds, frequencies, touch, textures and tastes. You would be suprised at how many of the worlds most brilliant inventors had Aspergers.

Get the Señor Aspergers mug.Reading many of the definitions on here,there seems to be a lot of confusion about the condition.
A mental disorder affects your day to day abilities,thoughts,feelings,perception and basically everything.If someone is diagnosed with aspergers just because they are a bit eccentric,but can function exactly the same as anyone else,then maybe they shouldn't be classed as having a real disorder.I can tell you,i've met LOADS with aspergers that have no difficulties with mixing,understanding or anything.In fact maybe they just have insomnia or are hyper or like starwars!
Out of the 15 i met,only 1 was genuinely handicapped and the other 1 had intellectual issues,so basically,they were only 2 that had limitations.The rest just didn't like the tags on their clothing or something that didn't affect their life,yet me,who has severe anxiety,limitations,learning difficulties,day to day functioning issues e.g. shopping,catching the bus,cooking,speaking to people i don't know,everything like that really badly!-got left,yet all the ones who just were funny about clothing got 100 times more support than i did,so either aspergers is too minor for me to have with my scrambled brain (believe it or not,i have noticeable limitations to what i can do.I mean,i can do about as much as a 7 year old and i'm 16!) or aspergers is diagnosed to just anybody with a weird quirk?
