Turns out that it may not be as overdiagnosed as we think... -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Oct 4 2007, 10:32 PM) no they are associated with mental retardation most of the time its not a bad thing. doesnt mean they have to be shunned. you have to know whats associated with these disorders so that people are educated and they get the best treatment You didn't make the distinction, but it's worth noting that the stats you quoted are not applicable to Asperger's syndrome. Children with Asperger's are characterized by normal (or high intelligence), but odd behaviors such as poor communication, clumsiness, etc. It is comparable to (if not equivalent to; researchers aren't really sure yet) high-functioning autism. QUOTE (blaarg @ Oct 5 2007, 01:40 AM) Whoa, I did that when I was 7 too (preparing long in advance for the geography bee). Weird, maybe I had Aspergers...? can you grow out of it, or is it with you for the rest of your life? No, Asperger's is a life-long condition. -------------------- |
