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 you`re a typical radio ham then ????

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

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.

It was very brave of you to make this statement.

Taken in isolation, this looks like a sensitive exchange between thoughtful
people. Taken in the context of Radium's repeated, rambling, unscientific
posts about modulation, it is something else -- I don't know what but I have
my suspicions.

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.
