A neurological disorder that makes social interaction extremely difficult, like something as simple as starting a conversation with someone you barely know. The cause for it is still unknown, but researchers are still trying to figure out the cause for this form of autism. Those who have Aspergers Syndrome are often labeled as odd or eccentric, because we are used to being in our own world. Since we're usually outcasts in large groups of people, we go towards our interests, in which we are very brilliant at.
Symptoms vary depending on how mild or severe one's case is. People with this condition usually have trouble fitting in, are often the victims of bullying (throughout high school), and happen to have narrow interests on things in which they are very passionate about. For example, they will have a fairly good amount of information concerning movies, trains, geography, puzzles, etc. It'll almost be like they know every single detail about their interest to the point where they have almost a professor or encyclopedia equivalent knowledge about that subject that they know so much about.
If you have it (which I do), have no fear. Although we may be bad at keeping friends and maintaining a conversation, we're gifted in many things that we enjoy the most. Never let this condition get you down, because you are special and have a very bright future to live for.

Idiotic Guy: You're weird and geeky.
Smart Guy: I have Asperger's Syndrome, get used to it.
Idiotic Guy: (trying to think of a comeback) Well....you're still friggin' weird.
Smart Guy: When was the last time you memorized every quote from "American Pie" and were not afraid to perform in front of people? That's right, you don't have my traits, which I'm talented in.
Idiotic Guy: (speechless)

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 Asperger's mug.Here's a quick definition which ISN'T offensive. AHEM
Aka Asperger's Syndrome, this has nothing to do with anyone's burgers or asses, rather it is a neurological difference some people have where they exhibit signs of Autism like failure to respond to social cues like looking at a watch and tapping feet, etc. etc. However, they are usually high-functioning, so this means most with Asperger Syndrome seem like dorks but are probably Einstein (or Sherlock Holmes) when nobody is picking on them.
