does anyone have any information about Asperger's syndrome because my friend has it and she won't explain it?

Answer 1

Asperger's syndrome- Language and cognition generally better than in autism; socially isolated and often viewed as odd or eccentric; clumsiness; repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, and activities; atypical sensory responses (eg, exquisite sensitivity to noises, food odors or tastes, or clothing textures); pragmatic deficits (eg, extremely concrete use of language or difficulty recognizing irony or jokes) (Merck)
Please see the web pages for more details on Asperger's syndrome.

Answer 2

It's like a really really mild form of Autism. These folks tend to have some difficulty relating to other people - but can be BRILLIANT in the field that focuses them.

(Jokingly, I think of it as "Tech Engineers disease" these are people who are bright in their arena, but sometimes don't relate very smoothly with the general public.)

I know someone close with this problem - most of the people with it can work on behavioral patterns and, depending upon the severity of the disease, they can be nearly undetectable.

Answer 3

By far the easiest thing to do is go here: http://www.aspergers.com/

They will have all the info you need. And I suspect that your friend is afraid you will not want to be her friend. Just make certain that you are clear that it doesn't matter to you. You are still her friend.

Answer 4

This is why we have the Internet. All you have to do is look it up.
