The best way to become an expert on the syndrome would be to read and research as much as you can about the topic. It would also benefit you to try and find people with AS and get their point of view as well. Also, talking to pychologists and pyschiatrists are good ways to get info on aspergers.
Metabolic Syndrome
Hans Asperger first wrote a paper about some characteristics of aspergers in 1943 (he did some research on a group of boys in the 1930's). Back then and up to the 1960s Asperger's was known as autisic psychopathy. A woman curious aobut the studies of Han's Asperger encouraged the name to be after the founder. Hans Asperger's information or rather data on Aspergers was not translated into English and brought to US till around 1994 or so.

Note: There is some research out there to show that Carpal Tunnel may be more based on genetics and thus has a hereditary component.
Bulimia is an eating disorder whereby a person binge eats and then makes themselves sick. Research has shown that bulimia may be hereditary.
It can be hereditary. See the website for The Stuttering Foundation for information on the causes, research on the treatments, referrals to qualified speech therapists, and more.

The person diagnosed with Aspergers' Syndrome will have difficulty concentrating, low social cues, not much bravery, very nervous, they will stem (may have mispronounced), which is a form of using the hands and arms to send large quantities of blood to the brain and cause a sensory feeling. The diagnosed person will also have very high intelligence and thought processes. I know all of this by heart without research because i have it myself.
Yes! I have Aspergers and always suspected that I was on the autism spectrum. Formal diagnosis has since confirmed it. V briefly I strongly dislike social situations unless with people I know well; loud noises; lack of routine & spontaneity; responsibility for others; strong emotional reactions by others; etc. I like logic and order; and get obsessed with certain topics, which I read about/research tirelessly. Aspergers has as many positives as negatives, in my experience.

Research on neurotransmitters indicates that their function can be enhanced or inhibited by certain substances. Inhibitors are called depressants while enhancers are called stimulants.
