	'''Sperging''' is a slang term which describes certain behavior online which is stereotypically associated with people who have [[Asperger syndrome]]. The most common meaning refers to excessive discussion or analysis of what would normally be regarded as a very specific, irrelevant or pointless topic. Sperging is often used as a negative description of these discussions, as well as the actions of the users who contribute to them.
