    I’ve only ever heard the term(?) used by people with whatever aspergers is being called these days. They used it to refer primarily to themselves. It’s only 3 people though.

      Aspergers has basically been rolled into Autism Spectrum Disorder, as of the DSM V.

      More technically, its a more specific sort of set of behaviors/mannerisms/ways of thinking and acting, but, they all fall into the new category of ASD.

      ASD is… a spectrum, of things that are different from the norm, Aspergers is basically a subset within that set, though many other subsets are possible and exist, in different instensities.
