when i was told i had aspergers syndrome, my confidence dropped.

this will be a huge boost for me to find out there are people who've achieved alot while coping with aspergers

From what I've read, it is more common in males. At least the amazing genius level. I'd also like to add the lack of other ethnicity that get classified in either asperger or genius categories...

Side note, there are also people who are just really hard to classify because they have very special and specific cases. Like the man who see's shapes as numbers, but functions normally like everyone else.

Even with Autism vive la difference! Females a bit too social for Shrinks especially 1 on 1 in their offices for short time we’re in them so we miss our diagnoses, which is tragic! “Males are Little Professors. Girls are Little Philosophers.” We can often understand social situations VERY well. Not necessarily cope long term with them OURSELVES. & difference tween Autism & damaged Autism. Vaccines, toxins & Glutamate that hides in foods & IVs under 40 names does not cause us. HARMS us!

ok, jane austen might have had no asperger syndrome, but there's no doubt darcy has it :-) I think austen met some aspies in her life, because she perfectly describes some aspie characters in her books (darcy, of course, but also mr bennet, mary bennet, georgiana darcy and a few others).. I always identified in darcy, I'm just totally like him..

This is intersting. I didn't know Aspergers was associated with Jane Austen.

@PhilMyBod41 Dude...that comment is a cry for help. Seriously.

Please guys do a bit of research into the link between vaccines and autism.

Also look up Andrew Wakefield. This man is a saint in my opinion, he was struck off for doing research into the link between vaccines and autism and the big medical industry tried to destroy him because vaccines means BIG MONEY to them and thats all they care about. Not about us. Also I recommend prayer and the healing power of the Holy Spirit - there is NO no infirmity or sickness that cannot be healed by the Lord.

@PhilMyBod41 Your a fuckin asshole.

From what ive read and heard interviews with i belive Marilyn Monroe had it, even though she was diagnosed as borderline p.d. It would explain alot of her behaviour insomnia liking to be naked around the house, the way she spoke and thought and her social promlems. she wore this image as a persona. If you read tony curtis bio he explains how strange she was on his dates when she was younger. It wasnt known about back then so people probably coped with drugs and booze.
