Asperger's Syndrome

I pronounce it with an "ah" instead of a short "a" because it sounds less like something hanging from one's backside that way.

Anyway, I met a 12-yr old boy whose teachers had no concerns about his academic performance, but whose mother was worried about his peer interactions. Those of you with a background in this area will smile when you hear how the young man described himself:

"Well, I particularly enjoy studying about ancient Japanese culture and its warriors - called Samuri. They are absolutely fascinating."
