Have anyone told you something about the tone of your speech??

@BafflinBook Thanks for watching! When I first explored Asperger's as being an option for my diagnosis some doctors told me that children with AS speak very flatly and monotonously and that my voice is too animated for me to have AS, but I don't agree with that conclusion at all.

@CharlieHenburyTV Hi, Charlie! Thanks for watching. You can have either autism or Asperger's, but not both, since the diagnoses contradict each other (Autism has language delays, Asperger's does not).

@monkaholic100 i like that username lol but yea i was wondering; with aspergers, is it only possable to be born with it? Or can you develop it thru time?

@warewolfsnimpalas Thanks for watching! I'll be sure to address this question in next week's vlog!

I was curious about how asperger's and relationships (Friends, family, classmates, co-workers, ect...) are affected? For some reason I thought social stimulation was difficlut for most but you have mentioned your friends a few times and don't seem to have a problem with social interaction at all.

Thanks!

@helzshailer Thanks for watching! I will probably be posting on Wednesday this week, because Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the States, and I'm going to be very busy during that time. If you would like more in-depth information, I have a link to my blog in the description box, and you can find many articles on various aspects of Asperger's there. -Nicole :)
