the latest results from the London SNAP Project show that 1 in every 92 persons (1.086 percent), although earlier percentages show less (for example, 18 years ago it was at 0.66 %). Many Experts, Scientists, Psychologists Psychiatrists etc. will beleive that there are more persons with aspergers than diagnosed, like disabled persons government representative John Greally (New Zealand) claims the real percentage including undiagnosed is roughly Double. Also, it is more likely for males to have aspergers than females, the diagnosis rate for boys is 7 times higher than women: people have argued this has something to do with genetics, for example, male genes are more similar to the gentic setup of someone with aspergers than a woman's, thus creating men to be more of an autistic nature. other's will say it's part of a woman's genetic setup to act as they do not have asperger's or appear that way, although they are autistic. so far there is only evidence and theories, not proof.
jatgm - i happen to have aspergers, honestly its just somthing you have to compensate for. if you have it you probly dont even know it, i didnt untill recently i didnt know, i used a mathmatical formula to determine what to say in a conversation because i am socially challenged and a gps to go places because i have extremely poor directional skills. both worked poorly and were noticeable but it was undiagnosed until under a year ago, im 18 currently.

Aspie = Person with Aspergers Syndrome. It's friendly slang that those with Aspergers Syndrome use to refer to themselves. People without Aspergers Syndrome are referred to as NTs - Neurotypicals.
Close, asburgeres sounds similar to aspergers. Asburgeres specifically does not exist but aspergers does. Other names for aspergers is asperger(s) syndrome and autistic psychopathy which is the original name for aspergers.
No.
We face the challenges of intolerant people, disorganization and insomnia.
If Aspergers Syndrome runs in your family, then it is very common. But it is uncommon if it does not run in the mother's side of the family. There are about 1,000,000 Aspergers People in the United Kingdom, I have it so I know.
It's spelled "Aspergers" and yes, they do get depressed.
Yes they can. People with Asperger's shockingly and usu. have a combination such as having Aspergers and OCD, or ADD, depression, anxiety, and Tourettes. In some cases developing schizophrenia can occur.
I don't know, but I have asperger's and I struggle pretty hard to turn down a drink. I don't know if asperger's syndrome is the reason for it though.

I have aspergers and find myself a chatterbox to a friend and rather silent to my mother. IDK :p She gets annoyed though but what can i say? People with aspergers may or may not experience selected mutism.
It depends on their skills and abilities. People with Aspergers are not limited in many things.
