Don't be deceived: Asperger's is no joke.  Think of it as autism without the
usually associated low IQ.  Asperger's people typically don't have a clue that
other people are *people*, and if they do learn this later in life, they have
to conduct their social relations in a purely conscious and artificial manner.
