8. Diagnosing Asperger Syndrome

I have have a nephew who was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. Diagnosing it shouldn't be so hard. A big clue is if the person suspected has no friends and usually ends up being an outcast for having inappropriate responses to things though genuinely trying to fit in. It's an 'obvious' disconnect. It's a really sad disability because it's not apparent enough 'at first' to get the sympathy and understanding it deserves, but it can cause the person that has it to never understand what they have done or said wrong and become very distressed around people leading social anxiety, depression, and sometimes suicide. From what i've learned through my nephew, there is no current medication that treats it.
