Asperger syndrome (sometimes called Asperger's syndrome, AS, or the more common shorthand Asperger's), is characterized as one of the five pervasive developmental disorders, and is commonly referred to as a form of high-functioning autism. In very broad terms, individuals with Asperger's have normal or above average intellectual capacity, and atypical or poorly developed social skills, often with emotional/social development or integration happening later than usual as a result.

ok...first of all, it doesn't sound like you have aspergers syndrome!\n\nPerhaps it's because you refer to women as "female types"?\n\nDo you actually approach women and ask them out?  If you don't ask they can't say yes.  Are your standards too high (meaning you value the physical aspects of a women more than the mental).\n\nAre you just shy when it comes to asking someone out?  Try online dating services, it's easier to be yourself when you're typing on your comp than it is to be on a first date.  Good luck!

There is different levels of autism just like there is different levels of functioning of other syndromes.  Some are very highly functioning which means they can speak close to normally, they dress themself, eat with relatively little help and other normal things.  the other end of the spectrum are those that have a very hard time doing even the simplest of tasks and may require institutionalization to help them live.  Hope this is helpful\n\npeace&hope

I would recommend reading books written by adults with autism. The following authors have all written interesting and insightful books:\n\nTemple Grandin, "Thinking In Pictures and Other Reports from My Life with Autism" and "Emergence: Labeled Autistic" \n\nEdgar R. Schneider, "Living the Good Life with Autism"\n\nJerry Newport, "Your Life is Not a Label: A Guide to Living Fully with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome"\n\nStephen Shore, "Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with Autism and Asperger Syndrome" \n\nWilliam Stillman, "Demystifying the Autistic Experience"\n\nHope this helps!

Put Aspergers Syndrome in the search bar.\n\n\n\nAsperger's Disorder is the term for a specific type of pervasive developmental disorder which is characterized by problems in development of social skills and behavior. In the past, many children with Asperger's Disorder were diagnosed as having autism, another of the pervasive developmental disorders, or other disorders. While autism and Asperger's have certain similarities, there are also important differences. For this reason, children suspected of having these conditions require careful evaluation.\n\nIn general, a child with Asperger's Disorder functions at a higher level than the typical child with autism. For example, many children with Asperger's Disorder have normal intelligence. While most children with autism fail to develop language or have language delays, children with Asperger's Disorder are usually using words by the age of two, although their speech patterns may be somewhat odd.\n\nMost children with Asperger's Disorder have difficulty interacting with their peers. They tend to be loners and may display eccentric behaviors. A child with Asperger's, for example, may spend hours each day preoccupied with counting cars passing on the street or watching only the weather channel on television. Coordination difficulties are also common with this disorder. These children often have special educational needs.\n\nAlthough the cause of Asperger's Disorder is not yet known, current research suggests that a tendency toward the condition may run in families. Children with Asperger's Disorder are also at risk for other psychiatric problems including depression, attention deficit disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.\n\nChild and adolescent psychiatrists have the training and expertise to evaluate pervasive developmental disorders like autism and Asperger's Disorder. They can also work with families to design appropriate and effective treatment programs. Currently, the most effective treatment involves a combination of psychotherapy, special education, behavior modification, and support for families. Some children with Asperger's Disorder will also benefit from medication.\n\nThe outcome for children with Asperger's Disorder is generally more promising than for those with autism. Due to their higher level of intellectual functioning, many of these children successfully finish high school and attend college. Although problems with social interaction and awareness persist, they can also develop lasting relationships with family and friends.

Aspergers Syndrom is a disorder on the Autistic spectrum. It disables him from social interaction and feelings. He may be very intellegent or need more academic help if he has the lower functioning version. It is not as serious as the others like PDD and Down syndrome and .... others ETC. But he may need a special class that ofers higher academics and more social skills and adult living classes. This class is called Autistic Support. hope this helps best of luck!!!

I haven't found anything yet with which I somehow can't find common ground.  Insanity, low self-esteem, harriedness, coping with broken bodies, (not on a regular basis, but yes, it has been part of my life), witnessing miracles, (there have been a few), learning to appreciate the tiniest good in someone, facing violence, laying on a remote beach, skinny-dipping at night, pulling leaches off my feet, stressful job, artistic liscence, court appearances, an audience yelling and clapping, (so what if most of them were half cut?) cops at the door, uncertainties in picking life's goals, man, you name it, I think I can understand it.  I think my life has been like those beatitudes.  I even understand hunger and thirst.  I understand emotional hunger and thirst.  I understand how our society got the way it got, I even understand how people USED to think.  I even can understand Shakespeare.  I thought I found a loop-hole in the molecular theory once.  Did I mention insanity?

Asperger syndrome is characterized as one of the five pervasive developmental disorders, and is commonly referred to as a form of high-functioning autism.\n\nSome people with Asperger's experience varying degrees of sensory overload and are extremely sensitive to touch, smells, sounds, tastes, and sights. They may prefer soft clothing, familiar scents, or certain foods. Some may even be pathologically sensitive to loud noises or strong smells or dislike being touched; for example, certain children with Asperger's exhibit a strong dislike of having their head touched or their hair disturbed. Sensory overload may exacerbate problems faced by such children at school, where levels of noise in the classroom can become intolerable for them. Some are also unable to block out certain repetitive stimuli, such as the constant ticking of a clock. Whereas most children stop registering this sound after a short time and can hear it only if they consciously listen for it, the child with Asperger's can become distracted, agitated, or even (in rare cases) violent if the sound is not removed.\n\nAdditionally, people with Asperger's exhibiting severe symptoms may frequently be diagnosed with clinical depression, Oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, General anxiety disorder, Bipolar disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder, or Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. However, while elements from all of these conditions are associated with Asperger syndrome, the cause is usually Asperger's itself and not a separate condition. While there may be a correlation between them, the disorders are in fact distinct from one another. There is research which indicates people with Asperger's may in fact be far more likely to have the associated conditions, but for now the connection is largely one of resemblance.\n\nThere is an online test that you can take at this website to helP:\n\nhttp://www.thegeeksyndrome.com/  \n\nMake sure you talk to your doctor about the results if they concern you. Good luck!

Wow, what a handful you have! He is high functioning isn't he? Well, I hope you go to see the doctor for his mood. Has he always been antisocial? That is pretty much an autistic trait unfortunatly. Just talk to him about it. How is he feeling lately? Try some theapy with a therapist who deals with autism  (a plus if they are also a relationship therapy.) Are there many that you know of? Have you visited his doctor? Talk to his family about it.

I believe aspergers syndrome can sometimes be referred to as 'high functioning autism'.  Autism is not really one thing that affects everyone who has it the same, hence why it is called being on the 'autistic spectrum'.  Aspergers would be at the beginning, where, as the name suggests, the people who have it are able to function relativley well in terms of intelligence and social functions, although obviously they still have difficulties sussing out social interactions with others, and observing cues of when it is appropriate to speak in a conversation etc.  They are still very 'literal' in that they likely would not understand sarcasm, but they often manage to go to school, college, university and get a job and so on.  Further down the spectrum, autistics would maybe start to display less social skills, less language skills, they may also possibly have learning difficulties or behavioural difficulties aswell, although these are not always prominent.  Its really that the further down the scale, the higher the severity of the autism and the more it affects the person in their day to day lives.  Autism itself is a very broad spectrum and people can be affected by it very differently from others.  \nHope this helps a little!
