Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

Mike Stone added,
Blimey... right. Two things spring to mind: 1. It's a made up term (like all MH conditions). Throw in the broad 'spectrum' and we can all recognise some characteristics in ourselves/others. 2. Some people cling to their diagnosis and are likely to object to casual association.
Actually - I was more interested in how many wives might think 'my husband doesn't get it' [which might, in my 'terms' equate to 'I think he is Aspergerish'] and would be willing to say that to female friends, but not to their husband?
Aaah.. now we're stepping into 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus' territory. I think the 'my husband doesn't understand me' part is as old as the hills. Going on to then compare their behaviours to Apergers would be an understandably more recent phenomenon. :)
I once came across a 'definition of' Aspergers as 'extreme maleness'. It made me ponder another one you might try: if we put normal in the middle of a scale, and put Aspergers at one extreme - what is the 'condition' at the opposite extreme?
The other end of the scale is 'mild autism' plus a plethora of other bulls**t labels they've dreamt up to make normal kids' behaviours into medical conditions. So I'm not sure putting 'normal' in the middle quite works tbh.
I insist on having normal in the middle - so if for 'analytical versus empathic' you place 'analytical and non-empathic' in the 'Asperger's box' you have to put 'very empathic and not at all analytical' in the box at the other end. Then the question is -what labels the other end?
