Get the assertive mug.Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental condition related to the autism spectrum. Affected individuals (usually of normal or above average intelligence, capable of intense focus, strong attention to detail, painstaking adherence to policies and procedures, unorthodox problem-solving and high productivity in the areas of their interests and aptitudes) are prone to motor coordination impairments, sensory oversensitivities, have difficulty interacting socially along “unwritten rules”, reading nonverbal language or navigating workplace politics, may prefer solitary activities and are often viewed as eccentric. As a tragic result, many end up un- or underemployed and on the receiving end of prejudice , bullying , negative stereotyping, harassment and discrimination.
Here's a victory story about a SoCal woman with Asperger's Syndrome who stood firm and fought a good fight -- and won her case against an employer! It's people like this who make life better for Aspies who are not able to break through on their own, who rely on others to carve a path that they can follow. I'm grateful for those with the ability to make a difference such as this woman has done. Just read. It will warm the cockles of your heart and make this Thanksgiving Day better!

Get the Asperger's Syndrome mug.Basically a shorter way to say "Asperger's Community". This is often confused with uneducated dipshits (i.e. The person who wrote the definition below, MickeyMouse7) as the disorder itself.
MickeyMouse7: ASPERGIA IS A FAKE DISORDER!
Intelligent Aspie: Actually, 'Aspergia' is a slang term for the Asperger's Community, not the disorder.
MickeyMouse7: I DON'T CARE! IT'S STILL A FAKE DISORDER! HURR DURR!
Intelligent Aspie: ...but brain scans, psychological tests, even autopsies have proven that Asperger's Syndrome is a real disorder.
MickeyMouse7: WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE WHAT SCIENCE HAS TO SAY? LOGIC AND REASON IS JUST AS FAKE AS ASSBURGERS! HURR DURR HERPHERPHERPHERP DUUUUURRR!
