It wasn't Asperger's itself they were making fun of it.
It was a pronunciation of the name and more of a stab against the autism 'epidemic' and vaccinations.
It wasn't a good episode, regardless. |

me too. they're my favourites so I'm rereading the second book. Who's your favourite character? I like Steerpike but also Fuchsia and the Doctor. At first I didn't like Titus but now I think I can relate to him. |

There have been instances where I would only accept one word of greeting/starting a conversation from certain people. If they said anything other than that form of hello it was upsetting.
I cannot think of anything else other I dislike being called "dear" and such. |

I don't know what my personality type is. I've always been given differing results it seems and the letters I'd choose for myself don't match up to the descriptions of such a person that I find.
I find the task of defining myself difficult enough. I always feel like everything or nothing. |

My main issue is tactile.
'I didn't hurt you! I barely touched you!' etc.
Barely touching is the worst type. |

I am much more aware in such situations than I used to be so I am probably at risk for developing it. I now have the notion that I am suppose... |

It says that it could result in loss of recess, not that every time it will. I assume it'd be from an excessive nature.
But the whole thing makes me sad. |

mild - the type that could skate by without support, who don't believe it impairs them.
moderate - typical Asperger's
severe - needs a lot of support, very noticeable, etc.

| Skimming this thread will obviously tell one that it can be a good or bad experience, and that there's no way to know except for trying it with the possible risks in mind.

| Asperger's is pretty much the default a lot of the time for older kids and up. If he were younger, he'd probably get PDD-NOS or autism. People don't think of people beyond young children as being autistic. I don't know why. Most people with Asperger's fit HFA criteria. |

| Yes. I often wish I were deaf. I wish I were really sick so I would feel justified in feeling bad often. I sometimes wish for more severe autism so I can feel disconnected from words and people-things. |
