Aspergers syndrome is considered a disability because the person cannot perform or lets say show and express themselves socially and emotionally because in reality, life is REALLY all about people whether other people want to disagree and deny it or not. If you read the bible you'll know what I mean. Life is all about people and caring for them.

@RussX5Z - no real knowledge will come from any bible, hence reading it will not provide any one with more insight.

Aspergers isn't a problem. Iit is a gift. Maybe they are typical and everybody else has the problem. Much love to all u aspies. U are the most honest people I know. Don't let us typicals bring u down. U guys are light years ahead of us.

I have Aspergers Syndrome. I used to have trouble noticing hand signals like waving or something like that but since then I now have learnt every signal that people around me do. I try to think about the different aspects of life and everything that happens around me. I freaked out when I found out about this Syndrome when I got diagnosed but later on in life I soon realized that this was a gift.

@ma20101992 The reason is because human beings are meant to be social creatures. That is the norm, logically speaking. Humans are not meant to be alone and introverted. Do you know that lonely people die quicker than a person who has a healthy regular social life?

Agree Dr Attwood saying: "You don't suffer from Aspergers, You suffer from other people" Our problems mentally and emotionally stem from people's ignorance and lack of understanding of what's it like to be different. People with Asperger's syndrome should be seen as unique, a gift, not a disease or a burden to society as every one has different problems so they turn to their expert interests just to escape from the burdens and unhappiness delivered by the big wide world.

And if any Aspie here is upset what I just sad. Don't worry because I have ADHD and I pretty much will struggle with that for the rest of my life (even though I'm on my own treatment and program). By the way I say all this because I know 2 people personally that has Aspergers and one of them happen to be a former close friend of mine.
