Asperger's syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder. You
can't catch it.
It is something you are born with. The main effect is on
social
relationships; people with Asperger's have great difficulty
reading
nonverbal social cues like body language and facial
expressions and do
not understand some language conventions like irony. That's
already too
much information. If you want more, there is a ton on the
web.
