Having Asperger's syndrome myself, I personally hated it. I just felt that I wasn't normal because of how it seemed that everyone else was better at something than I was, namely math. Worse was the whole "Autism Awareness Week." It made me feel even more worthless because my parents kept putting me having autism in the fore front. Granted, they were trying to show that I was no different than anyone else, but it really made me feel isolated. Just because I have Asperger's, I didn't want any special treatment.
