<p>Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's syndrome or Asperger disorder, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, alongside 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 (peculiar, odd) use of language are frequently reported.</p>

<h2 id="how-it-affects-me">How it affects me</h2>
<p>I cannot name everything immediately if I am asked, but some things are easy to notice.</p>
<p>First thing which people notice is probably that I speak only &quot;book language&quot;. Then they probably notice that I walk weirdly or that I don't move my hands when I walk.</p>
<p>Another thing which they might notice is that I don't look at eyes of other people when I talk to them. I used to force myself into doing that before I got enough depressed with school bullying to attempt suicide (which I have attempted three times and considered when I started writing this). I had read from one book that it's mark of telling the truth (looking at eyes).</p>
