He prolly nerd raged about something at work and got teased for it, damaged his psyche and he went off the deep end, isolating himself from the outside world and ended up in the circumstances he's in now.
A lot of super intelligent people have very similar problems. I know a guy that worked on the ARPANet back in the day that eventually went nutty and now lives in a YMCA, barely able to afford to feed himself. The guy is a genius, just lost his **** at one point.

Originally by: Siigari Kitawa There is no way to tell whether he has aspergers or not. Normal people have aspergers, they function as normal contributors to society.
Why this guy declined to accept 1 million dollars is unknown, but it should not be a reflection of any kind of developmental disability he may or may not have.
Speculation doesn't ask for kind criticism.
I can understand why he didn't want the money, he stated it quite plainly as well.
He doesn't want to be a circus attraction as is so common now a days. People just relish the idea of pointing out other's flaws whenever they end up in the spotlight. I'm sure it has something to do with him realizing he doesn't exactly behave in a manner that is "socially acceptable" and probably has quite a bit of contempt for modern society. He probably doesn't want to deal with all the salacious stories that will be made up about him in order to ride the coat tails of his "fame", hence his statement "I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo."
I'm curious how you figure someone is normal when they are diagnosed with a condition that is considered a psychological abnormality? I'm not so sure you even know what asperger's really is.

Okay I'll play ball. What do you think Asperger's is?
It's considered a form of high functioning autism without the linguistical development problems, usually more social ineptness and lack of ability to have empathy towards people they interact with, in addition to sometimes displaying "clumsy" behavior. People with asperger's generally get obsessive over stuff, which generally renders them socially inept since they usually focus most of their interaction with others based on the subject matter they obsess about. It's not as common in adults due to people "growing out of it", or is misdiagnosed as depression, OCD or ADHD.
