Aspergers: First take a look at this video to get an overview of asperger's. Then it will likely be clear. Main issues are social difficulties and trouble with change and transition. But it is all highly variable. Hope you enjoy the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg1ngp1ngds.

Asperger's: The major problem clinically speaking is that people with asperger's have difficulty in social interaction and seem aloff to other people. If they retian their repetative behavior into eens and adulthood this can be off putiing too. They may or may not have trouble finding jobs or finding a spouse. However one should remember that not everyone with social skills problems has asperger's.
