Aspergers Syndrome

[Kaonashi]

I'm curious, is there anyone else here who has Aspersgers Syndrome or who knows someone with Aspergers Syndrome?

My mom thinks my brother might have a mild case. I know someone else who has it.

my little brother has a moderate case of it. Really the only thing I notice is his wildly overactive imagination, and that's not a bad thing. He also has some trouble fitting in and has a very short attention span, but he is very intelligent, any work he actually does for school usually gets a B or so. Sometimes higher.

My daughter has it.

Both my younger brother and sister have pretty severe cases of it. :yes:

I think it's a mild form of autism. One of the contestants on Cycle 9 of America's Next Top Model has it....Heather Kuzmich. She was the fourth runner-up in that cycle of the competition. She didn't interact too much with the other girls because the disease sort of makes her uncomfortable and ackward in social situations. She's a pretty girl and was a good model. However, she had some trouble shooting a TV commercial...delivering her lines etc. and once when she had to speak in front of an audience she froze up. However, freezing up in front of an audience sounds like something I might do too. :D

I could have sworn he was an only child. :confused: :lol:

It's pretty cool to know that I'm not alone then.
I was just recently diagnosed with Aspergers about a year ago before I went off to college.

I'm sorry.

:hug:

I can understand a bit of what you are going through, I have Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, ADD and a whole host of Asperger tendencies (sensory issues is my big one).

Wow, sort of amazing that it took so long to get a diagnosis. I used to teach elementary and I had several students with Asperger's. I now only have one at the HS level.

Honey, we need to talk! You have been hiding family members on us....NOT acceptable!:grouphug:

Yes, one of my best friend's married someone with Asperger's, but it's pretty mild and he manages well. He's learned coping skills and now that he's in his 40s you would think he's just an ubergeek.
