To Those Who Ca
I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). AS is a
neurological condition that causes significant impairment in social
interactions.


One of which, as I understand, is social cluelessness causes AS people
to often insult people or **** people off, unintentionally.

However, it's important to note that Asperger's does not affect the
sense of smell.


Actually, it may. AS people often have one or more senses overly
sensitive so something minor irritates them. Often it's something like
tags on clothes, they have to cut them off.


Clothing is something I am extremely sensitive to.
