I'm looking for some help understanding Asperger's syndrome. Is it possible to have mild Asperger's, or is it a condition that is always severe? I'm currently trying to get a better understanding of it, as I'm worried that I may be exhibiting some of the symptoms. Has anyone had any experience with mild Asperger's, or know someone who has? I would really appreciate any help or insights that you can offer. Thank you.
