[Jojee]

Asparagus xD

Er.

But yes, I have Why do you ask?

[Dr.K]

Yes! One of my sisters studied it alot for her psychology degree, and she's told me a fair bit about it.
Is there anything in particular you wanted to comment about it?

[TheAbominatrix]

I love asparagus. Boil it was some butter and oh yeah is it good. Especially with mashed potatoes.

My brother has Asperger's Syndrome. Although I think he has a few other things wrong with him mentally as well, this is the only thing diagnosed. Oh and depression, he got diagnosed as having that as well.

[Destai]

Sorry about that, It must be hard.

What is Asperegus syndrome?

What is Asperegus syndrome?

To quote Web MD, What is Asperger’s syndrome?

Asperger’s syndrome is a developmental disorder in which people have difficulties understanding how to interact socially.

People with Asperger's syndrome have some traits of autism, especially weak social skills and a preference for sameness and routine.

As you can imagine, having problems interacting socially can lead to major problems whilst being a teenager, and my brother ended up being bullied (And those that did bully him got away with it, as they were on the Rugby team and the head of year was yep, you guessed it, the team's coach. They didn't even get punished for breaking my brother's arm.) Eventually my parents took him out of normal school and he then attended a special school.

But now he goes to University, and while there can be problems at times, he's OK.

I had a friend with Asperger's Syndrome. He didn't have it too bad, but it sort of manifested itself as "nobody likes me so if I do provocative things, people will think it's cool and respect me for it." He currently claims he's a woman. Even though he doesn't shave. Or wear women's clothing. Yup.

All the people that I've come into contact with that have Asperger's, also have something known as Hyperlexia, a condition where the brain is able to process words on the page very quickly from a young age, but the development of social skills are slower than usual. A person can read at a very high level and understand it, but lacks the skills to make friends or relate to something/someone not in a book on written down. Judging from what Asperger's is described as, I suppose it makes sense that the two seem to go hand in hand in some cases.

Take care all.

I prefer to refer to it as "Assburger Syndrome".

I've had to deal with children at work that supposedly are afflicted with this terrible excuse as to why they wont behave. So they're difficult children, do we have to give them a freaking diagnosis? Lets see what pills we can give them for this one!

Oh, I'm sorry my son bit you, but there's nothing I can do about it because he's an Assburger!

I prefer to just deal with a child the way that suits their personality without hanging stigmas over their heads.

A person I know here has Asperger's, but he doesn't seem to be a crazy-go-nuts guy. Seeing as how his life story was reprinted in an L.A. Times article that everyone here has read, he didn't seem to have extreme difficulties growing up either. I suppose it has degrees.

[Mr. Graves]

I have a mild case of it. (It supposedly manifests itself in degrees of mild-medium-high, at least according to the person who diagnosed me with it.) It's no picnic, but it's not a total drag either. It's just social ineptness, and eccentric thoughts that differ from the norm. It's found to be caused by a deficiency of Magnesium and Vitamin B6, and so I take vitamin supplements to ease it. It works pretty well. Nothing wrong with it unless one carries him/herself as some kind of nutjob.

Bill Gates as Asperger's Syndrome, or at least so I hear.

[Destai]

um ok, I want to be social and all that but I cant socialise with most people. Finding it hard to socialise doesnt mean I have it, does it?
