An autistic person can look just like anyone else. Never judge a book by its cover. That is the trouble with NTs they tend to judge on looks. If I had a penny for the amount of people that have told me that I look normal to them and can’t be autistic I would be very rich indeed. I have noticed that if someone has severe autism it is noticeable and people do understand. However if they seem to act normal then suddenly slap their face etc people go mental and think they are going to beat them up or something. The same goes for the job market. Jobs are all geared towards Social Structure and as such are not very Aspie Friendly.
I have aspergers. I’m 14 and I want to fit in. Tell me the things that I shouldn’t do so I can be cool. (From all the information about aspergers)
This isn’t just about being “cool.” This is about being “normal.” And I am not normal. I am a loner. I just want to know what NOT to do.
My son is 9 1/2 yrs old, and just got his dx in Feb. I know that asperger’s disorder is an Autism Spectrum Disorder. But, my son has always had A’s and B’s on his report card, has always gone to public school, and just last Friday, recieved a hoody sweatshirt with his last name on the back, for being in the advanced/proficient area for both reading and math. In the past, my son has always scored high on the SAT’s and Dakota Step testing. So to the people who think that children or adults for that matter with Autism Spectrum Disorders are in any way less intellegent than anyone else, I say, come meet my son. Yes, he has his quirks, and has his problems. None of us are without that. I am not in denial of his diagnosis. Or shall I say, diagnoses, as he has a few. But I will not let this new dx drag down his spirits, or change anybody’s opinion about him. He is a wonderful, loving, challenging, fun, not to mention bright, with an out of this world sense of humor.i love him aspiebabiemommie

Lets say that they only had a low case of it,you know, not badly, not mild,but lightly?And their doing their hygene being polite,using all the social skills they got(Doing everything possible to keep their job)?Would they be able to maintain a good social life,and good sex life?

These are some of the things I have noticed about my husband since I have started to learn about ASD. Our son was recently diagnosed, but I think my husband may have it also. I hate to say anything to him about it, he didn’t want to admit our son had it, I know he won’t think he does.
I was really thinking Aspergers too, but I don;t think he even sees it
Is it true in order for a person to have sensory issues they would need to have the following Aspergers syndrome, Autism, Rett’s disorder or syndrome or other PDD?
I have borderline aspergers syndrome and find it impossible to make meaningful relationships. Im incapable of connecting with anyone beyond mild conviviality, I spend a lot of time trying to work out how people act friendly and say interesting things, I study body language, I act interested, yet I still give off an aura of inaproachability. Do you think therapy/hypnotherapy etc etc might help me or do people like me just have to live with it and accept we will never form close relationships with anyone?
Are you seeking solutions to the communication breakdowns and behavior challenges of your students?
Using visual strategies makes a difference. Visual strategies help students focus their attention, understand communication, and comprehend the demands of their world.
Students thrive in environments that provide visual support. Use visual strategies for giving information; establishing rules, and providing the structure students need to be successful.
