Big No from me. I LOVE having AS. It makes me so unique and I wear my Aspie badge like a Pro Athelete heading to his perspective Hall Of Fame. I've been called arrogant, cocky and a**hole because AS makes me feel superior to NT's. I love it.

| This week i tried to tell my psychatrist that i thought i have Aspergers. I was going to him for depression and anxiety and also because of work-place harassment. He said well at least you're not the explosive type. He gave me a free trial for Adderall he said it would help with the Aspergers. I th... |

| I get a chuckle out of how threads can drift away in public forums into different tangents. This thread began with my introduction, a bit of history about myself, some cheerleading for Asperger's as a gift instead of an affliction, the fixation of fame by the populous and now debate over socio-econo... |

| Hi Oz, There's quite a few of us aspies who have excelled and in the process made life better for other people. It seems to me that your point is that it is possible to overcome our difficulties and succeed in employment. The problem that I can see for most of us is that the aspies who succeed on t... |

| ahem, if Oz_Sputnik wants to share his name I'm sure he'll do so :) Ahhh...I posted under my real name many years ago in another public forum. I was swamped with tons of email and a couple of star stalkers emerged. I had to change my email addy it got so bad. Since then, I've always remained anonym... |

| I am the mother of a 7 year old boy recently diagnosed with AS. I know this site is used by a lot of teens/adults with AS and I am hoping to get some feedback on what to do/not to do with/for my child. Do I force him to go out and play with his brothers/friends when he just wants to watch TV? Do I ... |

| Very cool! How did you deal with people hating you for your gifts? I remember, on my very first job, there was this woman who dispised me from the first day because I could do too many things. Like yourself, I have talents that span across different subjects. She eventually helped to destroy my rep... |

| AS for me isn't a curse but what is really a cruse for me is my anxiety disorder added to it. I had two periods of my life where my anxiety disorder just about ruined it, the first bought when I was around 20, and a more severe bought when I was about 35. In the latter, I went to a psychiatrist who... |

| Howdzy, Thought I'd introduce myself with this first post. I'm a 52 year old male who was diagnosed with Aspergers about 5 years ago when my young son was first diagnosed with it. It was actually quite a relief, because I always knew something was "different" about me...and we finally had a label fo... |
