This.

Everyone I've encountered with Asperger's has been insufferable to be around. If you don't spend enough time around them, you might not pick up on the fact that they have it.

I had a class with one guy, and people were so rude to him at the beginning because he was constantly interrupting the professor and always knew the answer to everything. A week in, we all realized he had Asperger's. People were patient for about a week, and then people just starting being firm and reminding him to be quiet when he interrupted too much.
