Definitely.

Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental condition, not a mental illness. It is a "cognitive style."

Note: AS can resemble bipolar disorder, since many with it have problems with mood regulation, anger, impulsivity, irritability, rigid thinking, etc... (Without bipolar 1, the mood swings would be a lot shorter than the minimum 1 week required for that diagnosis.)

The difference between the two conditions is repetitive behaviours, obsessions, routines, poor social skills and hypo or hyper senses, that have been present since childhood.
Thanks for this!
