How familiar are you with Asperger's Syndrome?

Are you or someone you know affected by Asperger's Syndrome? Do you think of it as a detriment or a blessing? I was diagnosed several years ago when I was 19. At first, I wanted to be "cured" but now I have embraced it. I realize it's a part of me. I am interested in connecting with people on here affected by or knowledgeable about Asperger's Syndrome.
