Finally, people with Asperger's Syndrome can have difficulty understanding their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. This can lead to difficulty regulating emotions, and can lead to impulsive behaviors or aggression.

Overall, Asperger's Syndrome can have a significant impact on an individual's ability to think, understand, and interact with the world around them.
