Are there others with Asperger's Syndrome (Aspies) in the Military?

I didn't know it until 6 years ago, but I have Asperger's Syndrome. One reason I was so damn good at my job, and my technical knowledge and learning ability about computers and networks was rather high. It also got me in a little trouble now and then.

Anyone else out there with Asperger's Syndrome as well?

I was, and still am, convinced that my former commander had Asperger's. However, I still maintain my view: regardless of color, gender, age, race, etc., if you can do your job, then do it. And hats off to you.
