Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and was hoping to get some advice from other members. I have a question about Asperger's Syndrome. Can someone with Asperger's be very social? I understand that social interaction can be difficult for those with the disorder, but I'm wondering if it is possible to be very social with Asperger's. I'd really appreciate any insight or advice from anyone who has personal experience with the disorder.
