Trendy? Aspergers is a serious mental problem. It may take years to diagnose because it is subtle.  
  But how could living in a world where you don't understand anyone be trendy?

 Seriously, it's not.

---

it is serious in that people with asperger's trade their ability to socialize and read between the lines by being incredibly fixated on mundane details of life, but more often than not its misdiagnosed in people who just have shitty social skills.

Yes. I know. I have Asperger's.

I was referring to it being trendy, it's not.

Aspergers...trendy?

Asperger's kids are nerdy-awkward little know-it-all bastards, nobody likes them.

Lol. No.

imo aspergers is mostly a stupid excuse for poor social skills, probably for a variety of situational reasons that the stupid parents dont want to admit

I disagree entirely.
Sure, in it's lighter stages, it's nothing more than more poor judgement. 'Aspies' typically just learn to cope.
But I've seen it when it's very real. My mummy used to work at a college for hardcore aspies. They didn't understand people at all, often ending up being kicked out of school or bullied beyond belief.
Because of it's subtleness even some 'normal' aspies are subject to ridicule and not diagnosed, leading to self harm, or suicide, because other people say it's cool, and they're easily lead.

So no. It's not a joke, and it's not an excuse.
