Actually, in response to the above, Asperger's is not a psychiatric disorder, but a neurological one. There is emerging evidence of genetic predispositions and exciting research confirming the lack of mirror neurons (look it up) in this kind of brain. Brain scans of those who express Asperger's traits confirm verifiable deviations from those of neuro-typical people. The neurological differences manifest as difficulty reading and interpreting facial expressions and other forms of non-verbal communication; physical clumsiness (also neurological) and sometimes neurological differences present as a rigid, linear cognitive style. People with Asperger's usually have above average to superior IQ scores and sometimes possess an extraordinary fund of knowledge about a particular subject. People with Asperger's often find success as engineers and computer programmers due to their preference and skill with mechanical things and relative weak social skills.
There is no known treatment for Asperger's disoder however the most common secondary symptoms/co-morbid conditions anxiety and depression can be successfully treated and controlled in most people.

James was bullied in school because he was different "geeky" an did not recognize the taunts of his cruel classmates, often in the form of dirty looks, laughing at and other non-verbal abuses. This led to a series of maladaptive coping behaviors including school avoidance, anxiety, and depression. James had a part time job at Apple's genius bar where he was able to work among others with similar strengths.
By learning about Asperger's, learning social pragmatics and working with professionals who knew how to explain James' cognitive style, James went on to win the Nobel prize in mathematics after a distinguished career at MIT. ,

A mild form of Autism. Asperger's makes people socially awkward and repeat themselves.
Some signs of Asperger's are being physically clumsy, too empathetic, and too focused on one subject.

A disease that prevents you from being normal. With asperger's you can't socialize correctly. I hate to be touched. I never even had a date. I was beat up by jocks and popular people at school, they called me ass pie and other mean names.
I always wish I was normal. I was deemed by teachers to have a " low iq " but the truth was i was an asperger's case. I am now 36 and high functioning. I live with mom and do simple chores around the house. I still haven't established my own life and ive never had a normal or real relationship of any kind, whether friendship wise or love interests.
I still harbor a bitter resentment towards all the jocks and pretty girls who picked on me and called me " the asspie loser."
If you know an aspie's please don't make fun of us, we are special.

The next stage in human evolution. Highly logical and intellectual but with limited social skills.
Many Aspies are also either virgins or homosexual meaning that they prevent overpopulation by not breeding.

Aspergers Syndrome is a disorder similiar to Autism. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space. Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights, the person with AS may prefer soft clothing, certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see

A term that can be used to describe yourself if you have Aspergers Syndrome. People with Autism say that they are Autistic, therefore, people with Aspergers can say that they are Aspergic.
Person X: Why are you being anti-social?
Person Y: I'm not being anti-social, I'm just ignoring you. And anyway, I'm Aspergic, what's your excuse for being anti-social?
