Asperger's Syndrome is diagnosed more often in males than in females. This could be because it occurs more often in males or it could be because it is not as easy to diagnose in females. For example, it is more likely to prompt concern if a boy seems withdrawn than if a girl seems "shy." As another example, it seems that the special interests of boys and girls differ, so a boy who is extremely interested in firearms will bother parents more than a girl who is extremely interested in horses, so they might discuss the boy with the doctor but not the girl.
Researchers are not yet sure whether Asperger's Syndrome affects more males than females, but more males than females are diagnosed. Some psychiatrists and therapists believe that an equal number of males and females are affected, but that females react to some of the difficulties of Asperger's Syndrome in different ways than boys, so are less likely to be diagnosed.
A boy might have a special interest in guns and explosives, which is more likely to cause a parent to take him to a psychiatrist than will a girl's special interest in mythological creatures. A boy who responds to the stress caused by Asperger's Syndrome with physical violence will draw more attention that a girl whose response is to retreat from the situation.
So, we do not know if more males than females are affected, but only that more males than females are diagnosed.

It all just really depends what they are like. Some can write big and sloppy and some can write neat and tidy. An Aspergers person can write neater or sloppier than anyone else. It doesn't change them, just how they behave and socialize. Edit: Poor handwriting is in fact more common in Aspergers. But not always.

I have Asperger syndrome and when I was a child I had problems with things such as doing up shoe laces and doing up buttons. It's probably due to poor motor skills which is common in people with Asperger syndrome, also people often find certain materials irritate their skin which could make getting dressed unpleasant for them. It happens in adults too, but at least adults can choose their own clothes and so avoid any that cause problems.
since adults are older than children their body is older and more tired
