Editors who have Asperger syndrome often have problems communicating with other editors, and other people in general. I suffer Asperger's, and thus have a reduced quality of life, due to my problems with communication with other people. I commenced editing Wikipedia to try and achieve my long term goal of integrating into community as a normal person, not one with Asperger's. I am achieving this goal in real life, thanks to a set of guidelines that have been imposed upon me by teachers at my school (and as such I am getting better treatment by other students), but on wiki people are failing to give me the respect, and fresh start that I want and deserve.

According to this article, people with Asperger's are often the victim of bullying at school, and have trouble recognising metaphors. I may also say things that I will later regret, or things I should not say given the circumstances. For example, earlier today I asked a friend a question that had nothing to do with the current topic (his near-sprained ankle). The question was, to be honest, very selfish on my part.

You can help by:
 * Telling any editor with Asperger syndrome when they have said something that they should not say given the circumstances.
 * Explaining in the fullest detail when a editor with Asperger's had an article sent to XfD, or a RfA knocked back.
 * Trying to help editors with Asperger's "fit in" to Wikipedia.
