Aspie = Asparagus-Afficionados, ie Followers of a doctrine similar to Veganism, but dedicated mainly on asparagus-based dishes.

Asperger Syndrome...

Some of the leading heads in this world are Apergers, don't underestimate them. Some say being at least borderline Aspie is a basic requirement to succeed in the fields of science, art or also business.

Post by: Never1AShow on January 18, 2016, 01:41:05 PM: Quite the opposite actually. Working out and physical activity is anathema to Aspies. Weight training or any kind of working out that cause a real good sweat should be prescribed rather than all those crazy pills.

Post by: SF1900 on January 18, 2016, 01:42:32 PM: Aspergers is no longer a diagnosis.

Now its called "Autism Spectrum Disorder" with a severity qualifier (mild, moderate or severe).

Only if they were abused in Phys. Ed. Classes…or if they have difficulties with “Ball games” (Aspergers tend to not do well with objects in flight)…Many when they get into a college setting they discover that college level phys. ed. Teachers are much less judgmental than high school and middle school coaches, and they discover that some of it is fun.
