What are some of the stereotypes of Aspergers Syndrome?

Here's a start.

One stereotype is that we're all really good at math. Some aspies are, but I'm terrible at math. I'm only good at basic math, such as addition and subtraction.

Nerdy computer geeks who cannot hold up their end of the conversation nor have a desire to have any social contact with others.

A walking encyclopedia of useless knowledge, as in we will quote statistics about anything you bring up because we once read it.

Completely incapable of being in and sustaining a relationship.

Afraid of everything and hypersensitive.

Refusing to engage in any type of activity outdoors.

Rigid adherence to any and all rules and will run and tell on anyone else who they see breaking any rules.

Always inappropriate.

Cannot and will not dress fashionable, always look like we stepped out of "Revenge of the nerds".
