Unless you have thoughts of organizing a nazi cult, than no.
i have a minor form of it but there is a scale im fortunate to have a lower level of it
i get pissed off easilly and needed alot of help when i was younger with socialism but i can pick up words and remember things greatly (except homework lol) im not actually thick as http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif as autistic stereotypes say. i think its wrong the way these autistic kids are treated but my condition links to another one i have called Dyspraxia just a learning difficulty and clumsy syndrome featuring slow reaction too things and slight lack of common sense but as i got older it stopped all except my clumsiness and bad handwriting.
didnt know some of you knew so much about it i thought some of you would laugh and shout things like autistic freaks but you didn't i must thank you for that you have alot of common sense compared to some http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifs i know in my street and school. they hit me with things like metal poles bamboo sticks wooden planks just to see me get mad and react but it doesnt work like that. ive been bullied all my school life and ive learned to ignore it anyone else the same here?
Yes, I know one who's got it.
i know several others who have it and 1 who has the exact same as me Both of em
I thought you said Asparugus too. xD Yes, I heard about it.
what do you mean?
Awww! Honey tell those *snip* to go away and get a life (do use stronger language). My brother has that but it seems to make him more popular and he has dislexia. I have a mild form of disbraxia (sp?) and have hand and eye co-ordination problems and the like. So the doctors orders was to do things like play video games with key pads and so on :)
Th doctor told me to play video games!! How cool is that!!!
Anyway its good that ur ignoring them, my bro sometimes totally lets rip on ppl and it's not good, even tho the teachers kno he has the syndrome they still punish him and so do my parents. I feel sorry for him but he's a right *snip* even if he didnt have the sydrome anyway ;)

But from what I have gathered Autuism has a whole spectrum of how it affects certain people. I think the same is of the one you are talking about.
Almost all of my close friends have some form of mental problem. I myself haven't been diagnosed *because my parents think all of this stuff is fake* I didn't do anything at school except talk to my friends about anime, games, and well... that's pretty much it. I do think I have some sort of paranoia problem (oh and I am bipolar.) because I get so paranoid about non-physical being (if anyone knows what I am talking about) that sometimes I just freak out and flip eveyone and everything off around me. And everyone I come in contact with I think they can hear my thoughts and I try to change my thoughts constantly to throw people off. Maybe I'm just crazy... but, I don't care got nothin' left to lose so you better be fu&&in aware!
P.S. Great thread Shoden, I'll have to pry myself away from the FFVII forum more often and come here.
I think everyone is way to eager to convince themselves they have a medical problem. If they cant concentrate in school, it's not because they have other things they'd rather be doing, it's because they have a disorder. If kids misbehave, it isnt because the parents dont discipline them, it's because they have a disorder. Whatever happened to kids having problems because they're kids and they have problems? Everyone is too quick to shift the blame from themselves to a disorder, no one wants to take responsibility for their actions. "Sorry I stole that stereo, I have a disorder. Not my fault." I'm not saying mental disorders don't exist, but the number of cop outs is ridiculous. Doctors are so eager to diagnose and stick kids on pills, and parents are just as eager. If your kids all mellowed out on the legal dope, it sure saves you a lot of headaches, doesnt it?
Ive never heard of it, but it sure sounds like I might have it.
I know someone who has it. He's extremely intelligent and the most gifted computer programmer I've ever known. [q=TheAbominatrix]I'm not saying mental disorders don't exist, but the number of cop outs is ridiculous. Doctors are so eager to diagnose and stick kids on pills, and parents are just as eager.[/q]Asperger's Syndrome can't be treated with drugs. It affects adults - such as the man I know - as well as kids.
For instance, some people with Asperger's are brilliant mathematicians, but cannot remember the correct order of the days in the week or the months in the year. It's not because they're stupid or because their parents didn't discipline them when they were children; it actually is a "disorder". People with Asperger's are often superbly gifted at organising non-linear information - such as computer code - but not so good with linear information, like sequences.
I'm kind of unpleasantly surprised by the things you and Shlup have said in this thread...
I'm not saying that the disorder doesnt exist, but I think both Shlup and I are tired of everyone who cant concentrate well or acts like a kid being diagnosed with some disorder. Having worked at a doctor's office, I got very sick of people coming in and essentially saying "My four year old cant stop running around and acting like a four year old, tell me what disorder he has."
I wasnt even refering specifically to Asperger's, more to what Kalabora said. If you were in Shlup's position, you may think differently, from the amount of sheer bull she has to deal with. From people with undisciplined children blaming on ADHD or what have you, instead of spending time with the child or adapting to the child's needs, they give them a diagnosis and load them up with pills, or in the case of Mandee's dealings with Asperger children, just use the disorder as an excuse to cover up any wrongdoing commited by the child. It's disgusting.
And again, having worked in a doctor's office, and having a mother who still does, I've dealt with people who will go from doctor to doctor until one of them lays some stigma on their child, so neither parent nor child will have to take responsibility for the child's behavior.
I do question the existence of a mild case of this disorder. Social ineptness in and of itself isn't necessarily caused by a disorder. Some people are simply highly adaptable and can relate to others well, while others cannot. Unless it is an extremely severe impairment of social skills, I would be reluctant to classify it as a disorder, simply because not everybody can be expected to be able to relate with everybody else on the same level. If you're mildly socially maladjusted, I would be far more likely to attribute that to your basic personality than the presence of a disorder.
And there is also the point that in our society we are far too likely to want to blame a disorder instead of taking into account other factors within a child's development, especially since that often requires us to admit that somewhere down the line, we screwed up. So the belief that someone doesn't necessarily have a disorder, and that disorder is simply used as an excuse is not without a certain validity, but shouldn't be a blanket belief any more than the belief that behavior cannot be controlled because of some disorder should be a blanket belief.
