| Is there a link? I met somebody that suggested bad handwriting was the development of a serious mental illness. I don't feel this is the case with me as i've had it all my life, no matter how i tried in school, my writing was terrible unless i took a long time and then failed to complete my work :P.... |

| From the article: "You could, of course, say that intelligence, properly understood, is a combination of wisdom, good judgment, logical dexterity and factual knowledge, and by definition you can't have too much of that. I'd like to agree, but I fear it is already too late to reclaim the word "intel... |

| I have an old friend with schizophrenia and his issues don't even vaguely resemble mine. Schizophrenia is diagnostically almost the polar opposite of autism. I'm sure of once reading that Autistic people have a natural protection against schizophrenia meaning they are statisticly least likely to ge... |

| Is Susan Boyle treated badly by British tabloids or something? Maybe I don't pay attention but I don't think that's how she's thought of here. She an amazing singer and proof that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I've never heard her perform but she does seem to get ridiculed and sniggered ... |

| Don't worry guys I can see a way out of this for us. What is her diagnosis? could it be that many of her behaviour traits are caused by another more dominent disorder, rendering Asperger's less influential and less important. For instance if somebody has a broken finger nail(Aspergers) and a broken ... |
