My husband has a possible diagnosis of Aspergers. I'm not sure if what I deal with in his case is definitely indicative of Aspergers or something else, though. Here are some of the traits that led 3 out his 5 doctors to suggest Aspergers:

- has trouble with eye contact
- talks (nonstop) in great detail about things that very few people care about (such as textile quality, bicycle physics, mechanical minute details)
- is seen as a little odd by friends and acquaintances (only, I never realized this until about a year ago. I think he's great)
- struggles in social settings

... he has a whole slew of other issues, such as time management, prioritization, anger management, anxiety, coping skills, avoidance. But the docs are chalking some of those things up to ADD and social anxiety as well, so I don't know where to draw the line between d(x)s.

Hope that helps get the ball rolling - I'm really no expert so I don't want to cause debate about what is/is not Asperger's.
