Assburgers? What do they do?

Question

Apparently ive had Assburgers all my life, from what I know its some sort of social disorder, but I havent seen anything that would distinguish it. Anybody know what it affects and can explain it in an understandable way?

oops, apperently its called asperger's, not assburgers, lol

Answer 1

Yes, it is call Aspeger's Syndrome, named after the doctor who defined it.
Depending where you are from, (N. America or UK) there may be different definitions for it.
Generally speaking, it is a mild form of autism. People with Asperger's Syndrome often have difficulty reading other people's facial expressions and body language, miss social cues, and just generally are uncomfortable in social situations. If the syndrome is mild, the person can still definitely have a normal life. Sometimes a therapist who specializes in it can 'coach' people to become better at reading facial expressions and to feel more comfortable in social situations.
A famous person who has Asperger's Syndrome is Bill Gates---and he is doing just fine!

Answer 2

It's not a social disorder it's a neurological disorder with social effects. Aspergers is on the Autism sectrum. It's when people have normal to above normal intelligence but are socially behind their peers. They generally avoid eye contact, may not use facial expressions or gestures, and do not always understand them. That's just a little bit about it. here are some links...

Answer 3

Apparently it is like a lesser form of autism. (I first heard of it while reading a Dean Koontz novel in which one of the characters has Asperger's syndrome, so I'm not an expert on the medical definition or anything.) It affects things like the ability to interact with other people and to understand the behavior/emotions of others.
