Anyone here who has or knows someone with Aspserger's Syndrome? (49)
britishcolumbian: WHAT STRENGTHS ARE COMMON TO ADULTS WITH ASPERGER’S SYNDROME?.
Hunting and war. Aspergers was the trait which made you better at killing the antelope and it's strengths are always what you'd traditionally consider to be masculine.
In the modern day it makes you good at directing and war. Aspergers would be a valuable trait in a general or film director where the script/strategy must be followed with excruciating detail and accuracy to maximise its effect.

mollybaby: Yeah, the social cues go right over their heads at times.
It can be hilarious at times though.
I must say i enjoyed 90% of it. But never allowed arsehole behaviour
Yes, my autistic friend wouldn't know a social cue if he fell over it ...some of the stuff he gets involved with is outrageous to normal "right" thinking poople ...and it has been a long, looooooooooooong battle to try to teach him not to just meekly do, what bad poople tell him to do. It can be hilarious at times though.

britishcolumbian: Stephen what a sad story for you to tell.
I am happy that you are a good friend and support your friend
How many others are there who are judged but misunderstood as what really is troubling them.
Is it possible for your friend to take less pills? I understand that more than 5 is nullifying the rest.
Good afternoon to you ...schizophrenics always, always, always play around with reducing or stopping to take their medications ...it's an idiocentricity that goes with the illness & gets good people killed.I am happy that you are a good friend and support your friend

My friend has just now insisted his quack change him over from the old-fashioned mind-crushing meds to a modern alternative medication that also doesn't require monthly blood tests to determine drug/blood levels ...he was weaned off the old meds & onto the new meds ...he's getting quite perky nowadays, haha!
Pedro might know something about this subject ...he's quite perky too.

jac_the_gripper: Tenang, there's something I don't understand.
You seem to sometimes miss obvious logical fallacies when you write posts and that doesn't fit with my concept of Asperger's.

I was told a boy I met had Asperger's; but I didn't spend any time with him.
Now I'm curious, Jac...
Will you please expound a little of what you mean regarding logical fallacies?

Tenang: Ok I am oTr OF here, have you even seen what people here where saying to me? I felt u had to ve mire aggressve. isn't that how you people do things? Someone said if someone sayw that which upsets me tell them TO F OFF, THEN CARRY ON,I AM NOT UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF BEING TOLD I AM WRONG ABOUT EVERYYHING AS IF IT IS ONLY ME, AND NOTHING TO DO WITH OTHERS.

Hey Tenang, come back!
Yes there are many people who are very very rude here, but there are nice and sincere people too although only a few. After a while you would have ideas which ones are who, even the "ügly" ones who "pretend" to be sincere. Just ignore the unwanted ones. A few real nice ones are more than enough for us as we don't need many anyway.

I accidentally discovered that I belonged to the club in my 50's. I passed the Bristol Hospital assessment as published in 'New Scientist' in about 2004 with flying colours. The assessment was validated not only by my career but my social life.
We talk in an Asperger's way if you haven't already noticed. We can be as boring as all get-out pedantically crossing every I and dotting every t. A 500 word response to 'Do you like my xxx?' never cuts it socially. Another social plus is not reading peoples face very well. You mix that with social awkwardness and any social life is not very much fun actually. I never found it as having the romantically rosy cast of 'britishcolumbia'. In some respects you sound like those who advocate that 'disease x' is a great life style but I appreciate where you are coming from. The person is no less a person for it, but an asset?
But knowledge is power, so I did much-targeted reading and some time in counselling putting myself together in a new way. I am not the person I was decades ago but it is still hard work relationing. Sometimes one backslides (Sorry Catherine). I now recognize when my obsessiveness or quest for perfection is getting out of hand. That stopped the month-long stress headaches.
On the positive side, I am autodidactic, read fact non-stop since 10 yo, am interested in everything from Adam to Zelenka, had a photographic memory, and have an activity list that also runs from a to z. I also had a successful solo research career in physics, the rest of the 'team' keeping well out of the way.
On the funny side, I was advising a youth on the ills of drinking only fizzy one day. My colleague interjected. 'You should listen to him. He knows what he is talking about.'
You might not know that a university survey of its students found that 99% of Asperger's were in the science stream.

If anything commuinicating online would be good for people who already have diagnosed autism and are at the beginning of learning regular behaviour. And I fear the opposite. If you're not a social cripple being on here will turn you into one.
And what happens when social cripple becomes the social norm?
On this site there are blogs dedicated to the breakdown of relations with any attempt to understand anybody else regarded as your own personal weakness. Their ego considers basic social skills as seeking approval or acceptance - which it is and there's nothing wrong with that - and this is what I mean by the internet creating a socially crippled bunker people of egotistical madmen.
