Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.
Asperger syndrome is also called Asperger's syndrome, Asperger (or Asperger's) disorder, or just Asperger's; it is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy. Fifty years later, it was standardized as a diagnosis, but many questions remain about aspects of the disorder. For example, there is lingering doubt about whether it is distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA); partly because of this, its prevalence is not firmly established. The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.
There is no single treatment, and the effectiveness of particular interventions is supported by only limited data. Intervention is aimed at improving symptoms and function. The mainstay of management is behavioral therapy, focusing on specific deficits to address poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness. Most individuals improve over time, but difficulties with communication, social adjustment and independent living continue into adulthood. Some researchers and people with Asperger's have advocated a shift in attitudes toward the view that it is a difference, rather than a disability that must be treated or cured.

Asberger syndrome is where you can't really understand what people feel right? Well, I don't see that as a reason everyone hates you. Is it because you said something and people didn't take it well? It isn't your fault and you can live with you condition. Try and see how everyone else reacts to stuff, like talking and hugging. Then copy them. Also, think before you say something about a person's appearance. I know you don't mean to hurt them, but teens are really worried about what they look like, so if it's something you like about what they are wearing, they say it. If not, then best keep quite. Also, get a teacher to explain to your school your condition. And tell your friends. I highly doubt everyone hates you, they just don't understand you. Also, check out Nas.org.uk/asperger.
