If Asperger's Syndrome had a "look"

Post Reply New Topic

Do you think that overall things would be better or worse if Asperger's Syndrome had a physical appearance look like Down's Syndrome or William's Syndrome?

On the one hand, if it had an easily recognizable trait, most people would accept it more easily and there would probable be a lot more accommodations like which Down's Syndrome gets. On the other hand, people with Asperger's Syndrome would be more easily discriminated against if they were easily recognizable by a physical trait. So it's a mixed back.

But overall, a lot of mistakes would have been avoided, as most people would have been easily diagnosed at an earlier age!

Hypothetically, do you thinking a physically recognizable trait would have been beneficial or makes things a lot worse?

I giggled when I first saw this, because I thought you were going to ask "If Asperger's had a look, what would it be?"
I was thinking of all the different looks people with AS have and wondering if you could photograph them all and do inventory on each feature to create a virtual being made from all the photographs.
I have Asperger's and look a bit dysmorphic. It would be easier, imo, to have Asperger's and blend in with everyone else so that AS is the only thing to deal with. There wouldn't be any more complications, no more confusion. I would have the AS issues with social skills, and could work on dealing with it. Instead, I have that and a plethora of other issues and confusion about how to handle certain situations that are unique to me with grace and ease. I tend to fuddle them up now. It would be easier for me if it were just AS and nothing superficial, like slightly dysmorphic facial features.
Blending in makes life easier to cope with.

We have a look. We look like our family members.

I can already recognize fellow Aspies from their gait, and often from other physical characteristics. Mostly their gait, though. I don't think it's that hard to recognize people with Asperger's for those who have it, after a while. Just hard for NTs, maybe >_>

now that i've finally been exposed to actual aspies IRL, i believe i have finally developed an aspiedar of sorts. there is a subtle stiffness of facial expression, vocal inflection and body posture [mainly a lack of animation] in most i've seen. there is an unusual prosody of speech that is also noticeable. it is more than just seeing a reflection of myself in these other people, more like observing a collection of physical/behavioral traits that spells it out. in my local aspie group, i believe we stand out from the folks milling about us [so far the meetings have been in a public place], in a subtle but still noticeable way, which to me constitutes a "look" [and sound] of sorts.

sometimes I think the "look" of Asperger's that my son has is a constant "deer caught in the headlights" look. I wish I could get him to relax, to get him to appear as if he is NOT on constant alert.

But, then again, it could be a family thing and not Asperger's. My husband had the "deer caught in the headlights" look as well. Mostly when we got married. Hmmmm.....

That's both genders.

Anyway, I think it would be worse if it had a look because people would be even more inclined to treat us like ret*ds and underestimate us.

Pointy ears. Green skin.

It would be 10x worse!

Unless the look was a statuesque form and deep mysterious eyes.

I want to see these traits. As far as I know, I've never met anyone on the spectrum, and if I did, I had no idea.

I'd rather not have a "look" myself. I've been singled out enough my whole life.
