It is the month of autism awareness! Now I think it's very important for people to be more aware of other people. I know there are a few oldies here and there somewhere... hiding, and a few of you might have kids. Mabbe one out of you might have a child who seems "different" from other kids. It's best to keep an eye out for those kids who are different, the earlier you catch the signs the better it is for them to have at least... somewhat of a normal life. Please be aware, and spread the word! If this doesn't help you, it might help another!

>.> That page like, describes me... Maybe I'm just paranoid. Oh what do I care one way or another. I'm different for waay more reasons.

My little brother has Asperger's...
-
Midnight you are such a hippy.
A hot hippy.
A hot horny hippy.
Nasty hippy.
But most of all, you are a liberal.
EDIT - Aboutasoandthis, that sucks. I know a kid with that same illness and I hate him. He's in highschool and he runs around the school halls pretending he has a needler shooting people with it. I know your pain.

Nah, my little brother's alright. Remember Asperger's is supposed to mean "highly functional." He's pretty damn cool. It's just a little hard to get his attention. Remember he's the basketball player.
Even so, you should judge an Autistic kid on his actual personality. A lot of these kids get their eccentricities from how they're raised. I remember playing chess with this one kid for a club thing. He was a nerd, and not like using this site nerd, I mean HARDCORE SICKENING. He lived for chess, and he loved that I always beat him. Nobody paid attention to him because they thought he was smart. Turns out that his dad was a nerd who was depressed at his wife leaving him, so he ended up growing up sheltered. He might've grown up a cool guy if he was in the right environment or something.

Autistic kids are cool there minds are like a pc in a way
i now this kid you can ask him any thing on football way back to the 1st game played
and he know's how the 1st ball was made he can give you all the teams names new and old the towns what they play for the numders on there tops and if they move to a new team the day and time the teams had win or not

Seeing as I'm also an Aspie (I also have Aspergers), I'd like to give some more kudos. Kudos! ^_^
-
Theres a kid at my school who uses his knees to operate taps... maybe hes an "Aspy"
-
I found out recently that my favourite teacher from my old school was an aspie... Looking back it should have been obvious. He had a weird eccentricity to his teaching. Some students never understood what he was getting at, but I thought he was awesome.
-
Meiscool, you're just JEALOUS that my boobs are real and yours you bought. And I actually do like kids who are autistic, it's like... they see things that we ignore all the time.
And it does depend on how their raised. Most kids are just given everything, or neglected so they end up mean and spoiled. And the reason they're treated like this is because people look at them and say, oh they're retarded. We shouldn't help them or teach them anything! And it's kinda sad.
I've seen a case where the parents were letting their son come to school with shyte that's been on his body for longer then 2 hours, and he's only about 5. Sweet boy too... ;.;
-
It's strange how the brain works. It's like you recieve a gift and pay a price.
And Meis, I doubt it's the 'illness' that's making him do the needler thing. If people accepted all your eccenticities because you had got a condition, you'd probably grow up to doing whatever the hell you wanted :p We only go "What the hell's that kid doing pretending he's got a needler" because that playfulness was beaten out of us as we grew up :p
-
Whatever it is, I'm sure there is an explaination that can be summed up without me having to write Brain Disfunction.
and... HOW DARE YOU MIDNIGHT. My tits might be store bought, but they're a hell of a lot bigger than you :blue-eye:
EDIT - YES, I do mean 'you', not 'yours'.

And you see THIS ladies and gents is what we call "jealousy." Mwahahaa!

Actually, I do have High Functioning Autism, which is basically just Aspergers. However, There are other people in my school who have Aspbergers, and they and I are WAAAY different; They tend to annoy me to no end, Or at least most do. I also don't really suffer from tics (weird little things that some people do, like twiddle thumbs or flap hands or the like).
Though I was diagnosed with HFA, and probably could've very well been diagnosed with it earlier on in my life, I somehow doubt that I actually have it now. I do understand how people work, it's just that I am not really a big talker. See, with aspbergers, from what I can understand, it's that they mostly do want social contact, they just really suck at making it.
Buuut I dunno; I know that people with it can be severely different from one another. Really, I hate admitting I have it, because those I DO know have it, who do all have some tiny little things in common, just don't really have any sort of personality traits that I have.
Really, nothing against y'all with it. I either have been wrongly diagnosed or am in serious denial. :p
-
God, I supposedly have Asperger's, but because I found that only the person with it can actually diagnose it, I believe it's a bunch of crap, like ADD.
Cure for ADD - Beat your damn kids!
Cure for Asperger's - Stop using 'I'm too tired' as an excuse not to let your kid hang out with his friends. :/
That's what happened to me. Now I have no effort to actually find new friends. They can find me, if they can get past my lack of ability to leave my [STRIKE]prison[/STRIKE] house. My tic? It's turling my hair, dur. But that's not autism, that's the friggin' zombie pill I had to take for my "ADD." (My childhood is destroyed now, thank you.) My silence? Oh that's simple. Being accused of being a child terrorist and having to go to several psychologists really does wonders to your mind! :D
There you have it. Asperger's isn't a mind problem, it's a "that kid I don't like" problem. :P

If I had anything to do with it, your and every other parents like them would be in jail right now. ><
My parents are pretty similar, just more like 'As long as you don't damage my house, leave me alone'. I don't really care any more because I've accepted it that I don't like my parents :\

Autism, in the last couple of years, has become such a vague classification that every great mind in our history has some kind of retardation, which is retarded (pun lol). It seems like autism is now just something doctors can tell parents their child has to make the parents feel better and have an excuse as to why Jimmy doesn't play with the other kids. Its because he's too smart etc.
Lame.

There is no way in hell that you have autism.

I got nothing...and my parents are pretty cool. I'm afraid of spiders and high, but that's pretty much it.
Oh, I got something, yes I do: I'm gonna become a lawier! Há, beat that!
-
I don't have Aspergers, I just have no friends. And am about as sociable as a brick.

Are you mocking me?

that's me in a nutshell!

Apparently now a days most people have some form of ADD. Why? They blame tv commercials. Whenever a show we're watching goes on break, we get impatient waiting for it's return or something. Weird but possible. <<
-
Well, I know I don't have ADD because my parents beat it out of me.

LOL!! XD
