I don't understand this thread. Who actually said there was anything wrong with Aspergers??? An obsession with something like shoes is quite normal as long as you recognise that not everyone is going to feel the same about your interest. People with Aspergers often can't, which usually means they have a bit of trouble functioning on a social level. However, there are plenty of people with Apsergers who have very high IQ's, have been incredibly successful, and are responsible for major achievements in Science, Mathematics, Art, and Medicine because they were so obsessive. Apparently Spielberg has Aspergers and he's done okay.
