Quoting: anonymous 788708Before I continue I kindly ask you to please take the quiz. I never said illness did I? However it can be defined as a disorder since those who do not have it (Neurotypicals) give people with Aspergers syndrome crap because Neurotypicals stick to a very strict set of guidelines and rules. If you do not follow these rules you will be alienated. Aspergians do not have these rules naturally embeded in their mind. Socializing is like trying to cross a highway blind. Even though Aspergians do prefer solitude very often, our current society makes seeking this pleasure a very difficult task. If you truly desire to learn more I suggest you take a look at this link since it pretty much says alot by itself. [link to www.webmd.com] Last Edited by Scuba Steve on 10/07/2009 10:57 PM |

. User ID: 788916 United States 10/07/2009 11:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Your Aspie score: 97 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 102 of 200 You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits -- The graph spiked at Intellectual-talent on the Aspie side. I don't really understand the graph. I'm guessing I fall into a different anti-social type group. But if I twitched, flinched, fiddled and stared, I'd be knockin' the eyes outta 200. |

SoSayWeAll User ID: 718510 United States 10/07/2009 11:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting... I love these things. Wish I had a little more info on just what that cute spider-web looking graphic accompanying the numerical results was, but oh well... These were my results: Your Aspie score: 57 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 145 of 200 You are very likely neurotypical So, since I'm neurotypical, and STILL love this site, so much for the guy that thinks everyone here is an Aspie... |

Scuba Steve (OP) User ID: 763460 United States 10/07/2009 11:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have it. And it is not a disorder, it is a syndrome. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 785810A syndrome is defined as a set of symptoms only, not an underlying medical condition. Disorder: A physical condition in which there is a disturbance of normal functioning. Unfortunately normal is considered neurotypical. :( but I know what you mean, its definitely not an illness. In fact, if Aspergian was the majority maybe there would not be so many damn disruptors. Im glad that autistic related disorders like AS are rising. Its happening for a reason, its not just being diagnosed more often. Humans are not done evolving mentally yet. but that doesn't mean that Aspies are better, it just means that they are being tested out to see if they are better. I hope it continues to rise though. Its occurred to me that Aspergians probably contributed a very large amount of progress in our science and arts. Aspergians tend to narrow their focus thereby progressing, while Nerotypicals are shallow but wide thinkers thereby expanding on the progress made by others. One way to think about it is that Asperigans are pioneers. This explains their small numbers, only a few pioneers are needed. Last Edited by Scuba Steve on 10/07/2009 11:31 PM |

Body language or nonverbal communication may be awkward and inappropriate. Facial expressions may be absent or inappropriate. Pragmatic errors are commonly produced by children with Asperger disorder in response to questions. Children with Asperger disorder often produce irrelevant responses.11 Speech and hearing Affected children demonstrate several abnormalities in speech and language, including pedantic speech and oddities in pitch, intonation, prosody, and rhythm. Miscomprehension of language nuance (eg, literal interpretations of figures of speech) is common. Individuals often exhibit practical speech problems, including an inability to use language in social contexts, a lack of sensitivity about interrupting others, and irrelevant commentary. Speech may be unusually formal or used in idiosyncratic ways that others do not understand. Individuals may vocalize their thoughts without censoring. Personal remarks inappropriate to most social environments may be uttered routinely. The amount of speech may also widely vary and reflect the individual's current emotional state more than the communication requirements of the social setting. Some individuals may be verbose and others taciturn. Furthermore, the same individual may demonstrate excesses and paucity of speech intermittently. Some individuals may display selective mutism, speaking not at all to most people and excessively to specific people. Some may choose to talk only to people they like. Thus, speech may reflect idiosyncratic interests and preferences of the individual. The form of language chosen may include metaphors that are meaningful only to the speaker. The message meant by the speaker may not be understood by those who hear it, or the message may be meaningful only to a few people who understand the private language of the speaker. Children often exhibit auditory discrimination and distortion, particularly when the child encounters 2 or more people speaking simultaneously. Activities Children exhibit peculiar and narrow interests, excluding other activities. These interests may be so important that the children do not develop typical relationships with their family, school, and community. Sensory sensitivity Children may show sensitivity to sound, touch, taste, sight, smell, pain, and temperature. For example, a child may demonstrate either extreme or diminished sensitivity to pain. Children may be particularly sensitive to the texture of foods. Children may exhibit synesthesia, including a sensory response to an environmental stimulus in a different sensory modality. Physical Screening for a theory of mind Key features of the deficit manifested in people with Asperger syndrome pertain to their inability to understand the thoughts of other people and themselves. A typical child can recognize the thoughts of other children and himself or herself and hypothesize how other people are likely to respond to life occurrences. The lack of this comprehension in a person with Asperger syndrome is termed a deficiency in the formation of a theory of the mind. [link to emedicine.medscape.com] |
