I have never been said to have ass burgers before, although I have been said to have 'asparagus syndrome' and 'a monges syndrome'.

I don't see anything bad about this.
It's nothing but an innocent and cute joke. I find it funny. As long as people don't start saying that it's a fake disorder, I'm fine with it.

It annoys me that people can't get it thru their skulls that it's ASPERGERS, and not *ssburgers. I think they try to be annoying, but i don't mind to much.

It annoys me that people can't get it through their skulls that it's "Asperger's", and not "Aspergers". I think they try to be annoying, but I don't mind to much.

=========

The shortened version of "Asperger's syndrome" gives us the plain genitive "Asperger's", and is the syndrome named for Hans Asperger. One may also use "Asperger syndrome", if one must, but that has no shorter form.

In the above, some substitute "disorder" for "syndrome", but that makes me feel ill (double entendre intended).

I have never seen where "Aspergers" comes into it. There was only the one Hans Asperger. "Aspergers", being a plural, would suggest that some additional members of his family were involved.

Give it a few years and it's reputation will go the same way as A.D.D. All it takes is for a few NT celebrities to realize that they can use a term they learned on wikipedia as an excuse for laziness and every lazy prick in the nation will be saying "oh, i'm assburgers, how dare you expect me to understand basic common knowledge?'

Lots of people don't say 'Aspergers' but they say 'Asperger's'. Apparently that is one way of saying it.

Asperger's sounds so weird.

I was watching a video on some people on a tv show talking about Aspergers Syndrome and one of them said 'Asperger's'. It was kind of strange to hear her say that.

Even though it is ok to say it that way, it sounds strange when people say 'Asperger's'. When i hear people say it that way, i always think "there not saying it right".

Why do they say it that way ?

It is because they are mispronouncing it.

It has a "p" in it. It does not have a "b".

So many people said that to me on several VG forums.

I just use Aspie. If I have to use Aspergers, I pronounce it as Asberjers.

Then I use Ass Burgers to refer to the fast food chain I'm opening with some of my Aspie friends. Our burgers are made of the finest donkey rump.

That looks more like a statement than an attack.
