Yeah, but I was researching and found out that their memory and IQ is higher than a person without it (some people that is), in fact people said in a documentary that they sometimes know TOO MUCH about stuff.. It's not like I know all of Slipknot's history (lol, I think that explains it...). Also it sucks because it's hard being the social type.... Anyhow that's enough talk for one post (no not talk, a post...)

I have a malfunctioned sense of equilibrium and a relatively large ommetaphobia, but that's it.
I do have more than one autist friend, though, and I treat them as I would treat anyone else.
You should anyhow, my friends still treated me the same when I told them this year that I found out I had AS.
This reminds me of a book I've been studying for my A-Level English. It's called "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time", and it's written from the point of view of a 15 year-old boy who has Asperger's. It's a very good book, one of my new favourites, and it gives a good insight into what living with the condition is like.
You should check it out sometime. But yes, I do respect people with the syndrome, even though I didn't fully understand what it entailed before reading said book.
Yeah, I've got that book as well, it's pretty good stuff, and also its okay to not understand. The book does give a good understanding of AS.
I don't think that it's a large disability, people with this disorder can still function fairly normally if they have the willpower to overcome it. It's all a matter of 'Mind over matter' really. It irritates me to see people with Asperger's Sydrome being treated like they're as severely disabled as someone with a more severe form of autism, when they're not that bad off. It undermines their confidence greatly and I think that there should be more of a push to allow people with Asperger's Sydrome to be treated as normally as possible, with their condition in mind of course but not so much that it affects how they treat them.
Asperger's Sydrome is a High Functioning Autism i've been told. So it's not as bad as other forms of Autism.
Exactly what I'm saying to myself, I've been taking this as a big deal, but I realise there's worse possibilities with AS/Autism, anyhow they still should be treated normally, I see the person, not the disability.
Okay, I think that's enough replies...
