4.) He completely and utterly disregarded ALL my feelings
5.)He had Aspergers

During the Course of this relationship he:

1.) Overdosed twice
2.) cut himself several times even when I was RIGHT there with him
3.) made fun of my physical disablity (which was why I broke up with him)
4.)Cheated on me
5.) Didnt want me to talk to anyone but him

Another person who I've met recently claims to have Aspergers and they:

1.) are a compulsive liar
2.) disregard my feelings

Needless to say I didnt stick around to find out more.

is this normal behavior for an Aspie? Right now I dont particularly like them much.

And I cant believe I put up with that much from that one guy xD
Was he officially diagnosed with Asperger's? He sounds like one of those "self diagnosed" ones. You know the people who just happen to be eccentric or nerdy or whatever and then they read a list of Asperger symptoms and they think, "Oooh I must have Asperger's!" And then they use it as an excuse for everything and talk about how proud they are to have Asperger's.
