People with Asperger's often experience difficulty socializing and blending in with [[normies]], largely due to being bad with emotional recognition and expression, the condition sometimes being co-morbid or conflated with Prosopagnosia (face-blindness).<ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/my-life-aspergers/201303/how-much-aspergers-is-really-face-or-emotion-blindness</ref> | People with Asperger's often experience difficulty socializing and blending in with [[normies]], largely due to being bad with emotional recognition and expression, the condition sometimes being co-morbid or conflated with Prosopagnosia (face-blindness).<ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/my-life-aspergers/201303/how-much-aspergers-is-really-face-or-emotion-blindness</ref> | ||

On the other hand, they are often exceptionally good at recognizing patterns and investigating certain topics with intense focus. People with Asperger's are also vulnerable targets of [[PUA|pick up artists]] who scam them into buying into their ineffective programs, with Aspies often being subject to the "[[Attraction ambiguity problem]]".<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886918300941</ref> | On the other hand, they are often exceptionally good at recognizing patterns and investigating certain topics with intense focus.

== | ==Origin of the term== | ||
< | The condition is named after Hans Asperger, an Austrian paediatrician who first described the disorder in a medical context, dubbing the condition "autistic psychopathy"(in German the word "psychopathische" was often used to refer to any type of mental illness).<ref>''Die ‘Autistischen Psychopathen’ im Kindesalter'', Archiv für Psychiatrie und Nervenkrankheiten (1944), 117, pp. 76-136 German:http://www.neurodiversity.com/library_asperger_1944.html English translation:https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1992-97284-002</ref><ref>"The term psychopathy itself gained a specific and notorious meaning of a condition of amorality and anti-social or violent behaviour. Such a morally pejorative concept is said to have not been intended by Koch; he had applied the term 'psychopathic' to mean originating from an organic defect in the brain, and the term inferiority to simply refer to dysfunction. However, it was probably his concept and terminology that provided the unfortunate conglomeration of aspects of inferiority, amorality and socially harmful behavior."https://peoplepill.com/people/julius-ludwig-august-koch/ </ref> Asperger is a highly controversial figure due to revelations he contributed to the Nazi Aktion T4 'euthanasia' program,<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05112-1</ref> and recent discovery of his role in the T4 program may have also been a factor in the redefinition of the disorder by the APA. | ||
