What's High Functioning Autism? |
|
Autism is "a brain development disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is three years old.[1] Autism affects many parts of the brain; how this occurs is not understood. The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) also include the related conditions Asperger syndrome and PDD-NOS, which have fewer signs and symptoms.[2]" |

Yeah my friend's sister has that. In fact she didn't know she was autistic at all until she went to college and did a ton of her own research. |

The only high-functioning autistic I know of is Christian Weston Chandler. |

I have Asperger's Syndrome, a type of autism without the mental retardation that comes with it. A lot of people with it are completely socially incompetent, like one guy I go to school with. I'm one of the less socially retarded people, but I'm by no means a people person. |

My understanding of autism is very limited... I seem to recall that they absolutely CRAVE routine and order, they hate colors mixing (like peas and carrots on the same plate), they have a very hard time expressing (even recognizing?) emotions, don't like to be touched. |

I'll post a link tomorrow explaining why I think I have it.. I'm online using my psp right now, and typing takes aaaaggggeeesss. |

Autism is like ADD and Depression. It's only another way for doctors to try to explain away people's differences with some "genetic disease". "It's okay that you're 'not like everyone else' we have medications and counseling to fix that right up" |

Did you just call depression a cop out? More so, did you just call it genetic? |

When I was four years old, doctors thought I was autistic, and I was placed in special ed classes. However, after a year or so Mom realized I would do much better in regular classes, and worked hard to get me out of special ed. From 1st grade on...well, I proved her right |

I don't like being touched either but it's more an anxiety thing. I don't have autism in any way. |

Yes. He's just a little eccentric, though. He qoutes movie lines randomly and somewhat innapropriately, but people do that anyway. And he will start and leave conversations abruptly. But that's about it. |

I'm supposed to be a high functioning autistic. I don't like being touched non-sexually, have to fight with myself to make eye contact and get very interested in various intellectual stuff. It's not all that bad once you figure out how to get over the social stuff....There is at least one study that shows that omega-3's help with it. |
