Maybe, but it isn't likely. And nobody knows what is "Asperger's".

I read somewhere that about 1 in 10'000 people have Aspies , so even still I haven't really met anyone like me , the person who's closest to how I act is my friend who I suspect myself has some weak form of Autism.

I know a few kids who are definitely on the spectrum in my school. Even though, we never talk about it.

There is one kid that I know is an aspie. We are friends enough to protect each other while riding the bus. I never thought I would learn this much about ion thrusters

I believe there's one in my commercial arts class, as I overheard him saying something about Asperger's, but sadly I don't know him and don't have the guts to say hi to him. My guidance counselor told me there was about 50 fellow Aspies at my school, but that's out of 2,000 students so I don't know them =/

I've never met a diagnosed aspie at school, but I've met tons who are almost definitely on the spectrum & don't even know it.

I knew one kid in elementary school who, in retrospect, was almost certainly an Aspie. He and I both got along really well.
There's one person at my school that definitely has it, but we don't really talk.

I'm not sure, but I'm friends with everyone in the special ed class at my school because they're really nice and non-judgmental.
