From what I am aware, Asperger's Syndrome and Autism are spectrum disorders, that is to say it is a cluster of symptoms which people have in varying degrees - caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. I have many friends with Autism and Aspergers. They are very intelligent, gifted people with an astute ability for solving problems. Despite the common misconceptions, I have found that many people with Autism and Aspergers are very empathetic and accepting of others, more so than a lot of neurotypical people I know.

OP... No!
It is just genetics. Not Satan. Not something evil.

You need to find a lifestyle and a job where things are simple, and not a lot of changes are happening in your life. Pray to God about this, and you will do just fine ... a happy life.

Autism is not a punishment for sin. Everyone has sinned. My granddaughter is an autistic woman. I enjoy her company. She's mostly quiet but she's also smart and very good at sketching.

ASD is a result of the fall, just as any other disorder is, but this doesn't mean that God can't use it. He can turn any problem you have into a means of bringing you closer to himself and for opportunities you never imagined seeing yourself in, all for his glory and the advancement of his kingdom.

Thanks. When I was young they did not know much about it. My cousins thought I was weird

I always had a calling to God but they use to make fun of "holy rollers" which I knew was wrong. Also and again please no insult to Catholics when I went to school "religion" turned me off because I thought it was all rules. No I know it is praying to God and accepting Jesus Christ that died for my sins.

I don't know what is the cause of autism, but i think the devil has it more easy on us that have autism, sometimes we can't defend ourselves as well as normal people, so i presume people with autism can have more devil related problems sadly.
I also think a lot of it is spiritual and not in the brain, i don't know it just gets me sometimes in how i feel that it can be a spiritual condition, and i'm not saying all spiritual conditions are from the devil of course, but i don't know.

Wow. Saying Asperger's is a punishment from Satan is actually pretty insulting. This site honestly baffles me sometimes.
We are at different stages in our spiritual growth. Everyday is a blessing for someone to learn more and grow in their walk with God. Knowledge of the truth comes with the Holy Spirit guiding us through the Word. Some are ahead and some aren't. In all of this, let's remember to lift each other up, help the weak and exhort one another. The OP sounds genuinely confused and needs encouragement.

Asperger's is a terrible disease that makes living the Christian life much harder than a typical normal NT. My question is because of my parents sin did Satan give me Asperger's? or is a punishment from God?

I have Asperger's, it is not a disease like some want to believe, it is a disorder that affects socializing and communication with others. A life with God can be lived even with Asperger's if anyone tells you different it is wrong of them to do so. In the Bible, Moses was to have had some kind of speech impediment and he was used by God to help free his people from the Egyptians, so God can use you for great things as well. The enemy is really messing with your mind to not go back to Church, praying for you to find the strength to withstand the enemy's attack and get back into a relationship with God.

In the end of the day it really doesn't matter because this life goes by like a vapour and we will be with God for eternity if we believe in him. With his help we can overcome anything, it does not matter if something is by the devil or it isn't or where it came from. All that matters is that God loves you and to remember that and that by Jesus dying on the cross for our sins we may have eternal life. I gave up searching where my mental health issues came from because it doesn't matter in the end of the day. The same applies to manage it, to rely on God and his grace. But at least with being on the spectrum there are some benefits like high focus and more honesty than others and I can use these things to serve and glorify God.

No..not becuase of your parents....but all sickness evil etc does not come from God but Satan. All good things come from God. God will turn that which Satan did for Gods glory. Even the 12 asked Jesus this kind of question.. was it sin or the parents.. but .. its for the glory of God. Again all sickness comes from Satan.

Meaning a simple COLD..does not come from God. Its the effect of SIN in this world. The wages of SIN is death. The world look at it.. God told Israel if you do the same sins the EARTH will spit you out. ALL of this is Satan.. its here beacuse Adam and Eve sinned.. gave what was given to them ..they handed so to speak to Satan. As Satan told Christ.. all this is mine..it was handed/given to me and I can give it to anyone I want.

And to add.... Christ died rose amen? OT by HIS strips you are healed. 1st Peter 2 24 by HIS strips you WERE healed. Lay hands on the sick and they SHALL..not maybe not hopefully but will be healed

I am going to Chruch today on Good Friday the Church I mentioned before. I am nervous as I have not been in 15 years. Really have not stepped into a contagion since 2004.

Also on a unrelated note is it better to use your phone as a bible or bring a physical bible?
A physical Bible. Electronics tempt us to become distracted. If you can leave it at home, do so.

Your Asperger's is the result of another source, humanity's sinful rebellion beginning with Adam and Eve. Satan may use it to tempt you to disbelieve God or to walk away. God has allowed it the way he permitted Satan to test Job's faith and Paul's thorn in the flesh to humble you to depend on him more.

There's a similar question in the Gospels. Disciples asked Jesus about a blind man, "Who sinned: his man or his parents that he was born blind?"

Jesus answered, in effect, "None of the above."

We DO live in a world spoiled by centuries of sin, and nothing really works right.

God is aware of your struggles, and helps you more than you realize.
