Previously redirected toward "Asperger's Disorder." It should not. The word "disorder" is not used with Asperger Syndrome. A syndrome is a set of symptoms that are grouped together so frequently that they merit classifications. The symptoms can be advantageous (high IQ, memorization skills) and disadvantageous (poor social understanding, hyper-sensitivity to changes in schedule). "Disorder" is too limiting a word.
