The writers did not write the characters with the intention of Sheldon having Asperger's Syndrome (AS), but as one of the personality types one meets in college science majors. However, many people with AS, as well as some psychologists, believe that Sheldon has AS.

The other three men also are written to have personality types observed in science. Many people think of them as being science nerds (or similar terms), but not as individuals with Asperger's Syndrome.

How do you make friends when you have Aspergers Syndrome?

While it can be more challenging to make friends when you have Aspergers Syndrome, I believe there is still good reason to have hope. Society as a whole is becoming increasingly aware of Aspergers and Autism and more accepting of people who are on the Autism Spectrum. Take for example, the TV show, The Big Bang Theory. While it is never actually stated, I highly suspect that Sheldon's character is based on an individual who has Aspergers, and he is certainly an endearing fellow who has a close-knit group of friends whom he can count on. There are plenty of examples in real life as well of people who have Aspergers Syndrome who are living full, productive lives, have jobs, friends and many other accomplishments to their credit. Don't put too much pressure on yourself , striving for the hundreds or even thousands of so-called "friends" that a lot of young people have on their social media pages. Many would question how real any of these friendships really are. Start with one person and go from there. When approaching a person in your efforts to begin a friendship, I have read about many success stories that involve individuals with Autism taking a very forthright approach, telling people from the start about their condition. Explain to people whom you are interested in getting to know better that you have Aspergers and tell them what it's all about. Explain that it is sometimes difficult for you to read body language. Ask them if they'd mind giving you tips and advice from time to time in conversation to help you work on these skills. If sometime is not receptive to this, chances are that you don't really want him or her as a friend anyways! As the parent of an individual who has Autism, I know that I cannot truly understand and appreciate the challenges that you face as a person with Aspergers, but hope that of my suggestions can be of some help to you.

They're real cartoon characters. If you mean are they actually physically "real"... of course not, because as mentioned, they are cartoon characters. They [at least one of them I read] are based on real people though.

Do the big bang theory characters all have aspergers syndrome?

I would not say all characters have AS on the show but Sheldon seems to be the most extreme (specific spot on couch, not very talkative unless he understands or has an interest, very specific into detail, interest in science and tends to be social in small groups). The character Penny seems to be the exact opposite. Other characters like Howard and Leonard are too social to have Aspergers although Howard may show more AS traits than Leonard (stays at home, awkward around social events). Besides Sheldon I would say that Raj, Sheldon's mother and Bernadette are closest to AS. Raj (Has difficulty speaking to women such as Penny when asked directly, socially awkawrd but this may be the result that he is from India and its a different culture, ect) Sheldon's Mother (very much like Sheldon but with an interest with Christianity) Bernadette (similar to Sheldon)
