Asperger syndrome is one of the autism spectrum disorders, and is classified as a developmental disorder that affects how the brain processes information. People with Asperger syndrome can show a wide range of behaviours and social skills, but common characteristics  include difficulty in forming friendships, communication problems (such as an inability to listen or a tendency to take whatever is said to them literally), and an inability to understand social rules and body language.

There is no cure and no specific treatment. Asperger syndrome doesn't improve, although experience helps to build up coping skills. Social training, which teaches how to behave in different social situations, is generally more helpful than counselling.
Typical adult symptoms

More males than females have Asperger syndrome. While every person who has the syndrome will experience different symptoms and severity of symptoms, some of the more common characteristics include:

    * Average or above average intelligence
    * Inability to think in abstract ways
    * Difficulties in empathising with others
    * Problems with understanding another person's point of view
    * Hampered conversational ability
    * Problems with controlling feelings such as anger, depression and anxiety
    * Adherence to routines and schedules, and stress if expected routine is disrupted
    * Inability to manage appropriate social conduct
    * Specialised fields of interest or hobbies.

The emotions of other people

A person with Asperger syndrome may have trouble understanding the emotions of other people, and the subtle messages that are sent by facial expression, eye contact and body language are often missed. Because of this, a person with Asperger syndrome might be seen as egotistical, selfish or uncaring. These are unfair labels, because the affected person is neurologically unable to understand other people's emotional states. They are usually shocked, upset and remorseful when told their actions were hurtful or inappropriate.
Being a partner and parent

Some affected people can maintain relationships and parent children, although there are challenges. Dutch research suggests that the divorce rate for people with Asperger syndrome is around 80 per cent.

A common marital problem is unfair distribution of responsibilities. For example, the partner of a person with Asperger syndrome may be used to doing everything in the relationship when it is just the two of them. However, the partner may need practical and emotional support once children come along, which the person with Asperger syndrome is ill equipped to provide. When the partner expresses frustration or becomes upset that they're given no help of any kind, the person with Asperger syndrome is typically baffled. Tension in the relationship often makes their symptoms worse.

its not easy to diagnose , i visited a special needs centre and many of the children looks just fine . 
experience is important 

can consult a pediatrician

edit : or psychiatrist  , think many hospital has it... no ?

Your should define your question more clearly, is that an established diagnosis for someone you know or you wish to seek second opinion from the internet? (which is not a good idea)

Asperger syndrome is very rare it is often a diagnosis of exclusion when the rest of common disease has been ruled out.

If you suspect some children to have very strange behaviour, consult a paediatrician first, before you go and see a psychiatrist.

Dr House in House MD is thought to have it.
If u r sthg like him, u may have the syndrome.

ADD, ADHD, Asperger, Autism, Dyslexia, Discalculia and Disgraphia r all known as LD-Learning Disability

Nah..asperger's syndrome is not arrogance syndrome. The main problem with people having aspies is they will have social interaction problem. Also have bad sense of logic. The kind of intelligence and logical sense that you see in House MD does not show signs of aspies.

Anyway, my son have aspies and I am looking for some support group. Seems like aspies is still very new in Malaysia and there are only like one facebook group only. And I don't do facebook. I would prefer something like a support group where all the parents or people with aspie can gather and exchange experience.

how did ur son get diagnosed?

it's quite terrible in msia that learning disabilities are not recognised and those with severe cases of it are subjected to ridicule and segregated. 

i had some primary schoolmates (disruptive, hyperactive, low attention spans types) who were given special coaching by teachers during normal classes separately but we did overhear how the teachers scolded them "bodoh", "malas", "kontol" etc. it was quite shocking to hear those words although i can see how it can be funny to 8-10yr-olds too.
i didn't think they were mentally incapable of understanding conversations (mostly) or unable to function normally (as in, mentally incapacity to even learn fast like Down's or those level of disabilities) from my interactions with them.  it was more like, they were disinterested or easily distracted. also, the lack of understanding of their conditions leads to unability to give them the proper guidance and coaching as their learning process are much much different.

rote learning is ald very taxing for the most of us. what more for children with more learning hurdles to get past! (thus, it is with much distaste and disbelief when the govt announced the plans to launch public pre-schools when the present system is in shambles)

needless to say, they didn't do very well in UPSR. but our education system still send them to secondary school after failing to equip them with basic literacy skills (reciting A-Z, stringing simple sentences, counting 1-100)

amazingly, some even managed to get past PMR then SPM. still without the ability to recite A-Z.
