32. Asperger's might be part of it--

But Asperger's doesn't make you mean.

Other people might think an Aspy is standoffish or rude because they don't read social cues, but they don't go around looking for someone to pick on or belittle.

On edit: The incessant lying is also atypical for Aspergers. In fact, they often get in trouble because they don't know when a lie might help them out.
