To support somebody with Aspergers Syndrome you've got to try and give them plenty of independence, understanding and time to get to know them. Having been supported myself by a support learner I was left bitter as the support learner treated me like a remedial.
Asperger's Syndrome was discovered by Hans Asperger in 1944.
Asperger's syndrome
An asperger is an informal term for a person who has Asperger's syndrome.
Yes. There are online and local support groups. There are support groups for individuals with Asperger's Syndrome and for the families of individuals with AS. If you go to the OAASIS website listed in the "Related Links" section, it has information on support groups.
No, I was unable to find one.
A small fraction of the population has Asperger's Syndrome. It is likely that some of these people would become famous. People with Asperger's Syndrome can excel in their special interest areas and thus can become famous in those areas. There are famous historical people who are speculated to have Asperger's Syndrome because of a few traits known about them. They did not necessarily have Asperger's Syndrome.
A psychiatrist or a psychologist who specializes in Asperger's Syndrome.
Definitely not. My understanding is that he has Dyslexia not Asperger's Syndrome.
No people with asperger's syndrome do not have split personalities
No. Asperger's syndrome affects people of all races.

From interviews with her about the movie Mozart and the Whale in which she played a character with Asperger's Syndrome, it would seem very unlikely that she has it. She said that she learned about autism and Asperger's Syndrome when working on the movie. She also explained that "they" (people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome) see the world from a different perspective. She seems to use "they" and "their" for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, while using "we" and "us" for people without autism or Asperger's Syndrome, so I would assume that she does not have it.
