Hi Everyone:

I have a neurological disability called Asperger's Syndrome.

I would like to give you some information about my disability. The
reason I am posting this message about Asperger's is to help avoid any
potential misunderstandings [though it's probably too late].

I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). AS is a
neurological condition that causes significant impairment in social
interactions. People with AS see the world differently and this can
often bring them in conflict with conventional ways of thinking. They
have difficulty in reading body language, and interpreting subtle
cues. In my situation, I have significant difficulty with natural
conversation, reading social cues, and maintaining eye contact. This
can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding about my intent or my
behavior. For example, I may not always know what to say in social
situations, so I may look away or may not say anything. I also may not
always respond quickly when asked direct questions, but if given time
I am able express my ideas.

On Usenet, the text-equivalent of my disability is probably noticed. I
do apologize profusely, for any inconvenience it causes.

Thank you very much in advance for your understanding, cooperation,
and assistance.

Regards,

Radium

So? Why mention it?

Because ever since King George got into the White House, a lot of
people learned that they can set higher goals in spite of their
autism!


Finally someone has noted that Asperger's Syndrome is one form of
autism. If you visit your local schools you will find whole
classrooms full of autistic kids - almost entirely boys. It's an
epidemic!

For Radium to be able to post his message places him in the "high-
functioning" category. Many are not high-functioning.



only folk I know with Aspergers are girls, weird world

interesting I was unawar e of that myself BB

If you visit your local schools you will find whole
classrooms full of autistic kids - almost entirely boys. It's an

in many areas in some areas they are dumped around and trated badly

Autistic children are different from other kids. And the libs never
tire of bitching about "no child left behind." I think they call it
"compassionate liberalism."

For Radium to be able to post his message places him in the "high-
functioning" category. Many are not high-functioning

nice to see you BB-

Good to see you. I'm assuming you are posting from rrap?

I tried ham once... but I didn't have any disabilities or illnesses to
share over the radio.

Lee......G6ZSG....

For all we know, it's Bill Gates.

I've got a knee injury. Just thought I'd mention that since we're doing
confessions.-

I'm slightly sunburned from a week at Virginia Beach.

hmmmm. ok, I am not sure how to respond to this:
1. you are either trying to get some sympathy attention (in which case, it
won't work and everyone will pile on you more for it)
2. you really do have it (highly unlikely as I know folks with this who are
extremely successful and make no claim to having it publically)

in any case, I know folks with AS and they are very reticent about making it
public (most people won't understand and oft times assume that the body
language, etc would still be that of someone suspicious). Most of those I
know with AS have one additional point: they don't get emotionally
involved. for them, logic is the better answer. So.... pardon my finding it
hard to believe you actually have AS.

Don't really care.

We were talking about illnesses and injuries. I guess yours is apathy.

I thought Notan was confessing his illness. I mean, he's just too
apathetic to get into tree hugging. All the other tree huggers say he's
sap challenged.

It's and agressive, debilitating disease.

It saps your will. It leaves you lifeless.

No prob at all, one of my friend has Asperger. He's pretty smart
though and never had any problems seeing sense or nonsense for that
matter. Also one of the best person I've gotten to know from the net,
although admittedly he claims he does better online than in life. =P

I don't know about your friend, but most "Asperger's Syndrome"
diagnoses are self-diagnoses. The number of proclaimed AS cases has
gone up by a factor of 20 since 1980.

It's the trendy self-diagnosis, much the way "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"
is.

As in:

"He's a genius, but he plays Worlds of Warcraft all day in his mother's
rec room because he's got Asperger's. So sad."

"I can't work and am on permanent disability because of Chronic
Fatigue."

Add to this the casual self-diagnoses--or diagnoses with the help of a
suitably-chosen doctor--of "Attention Deficit Disorder" (ADD and ADHD)
and "Bipoloar Disorder," and one sees that society is providing many
excuses for failure.

We taxpayers are expected to work harder and longer to pay for the
upkeep of a rapidly-expanding number of AS, CFS, ADHD, and BD
layabouts.

And don't forget all the pharmaceutical money to be made off of these
"conditions". Think of all those school kids out there getting ritalin
along with their milk and cookies. $$$$$$$$$$
