Thank you very much in advance for your understanding, cooperation, and assistance. 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 -- A Lost Angel, fallen from heaven Lost in dreams, Lost in aspirations, Lost to the world, Lost to myself |

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. --Tim May |

In his case, he went through quite a lot of examinations before the diagnosis was made so I doubt it was self diagnosis. Frankly most of us are clinically insane one way or another, if not many ways, so I don't really care if my friends has AS or BS, there's no excuse for being mean or stupid as a result of being too lazy to think =P -- A Lost Angel, fallen from heaven Lost in dreams, Lost in aspirations, Lost to the world, Lost to myself |

In fact any circumscribed area of interest: cars, computers, trains, meteorology and astrononi...etc. could be a symptom of Asperger's http://www.aspergers.com/aspclin.htm Any nerd characteristics is certainly very suspect. Anyone who dives into one particular subject. Doing math is certainly a health hazard. I sometimes wonder if all this really comes from some dissatisfaction by others who would like to get closer to the sufferer, but doesn't quite catch their imagination. Hence it's as much other people's problem as the sufferers. There should be an Asperger's contact deficiency syndrome... |

Tim, you may have figured where SSI went wrong - they're now accepting self diagnoses of disabilities. Maybe we can head this thing off by requiring an MD diagnoses!!! |
