| Mitch8817, No, I even implied here that AS IS autism, and it is. I am just simply saying that there has to be SOME benefit for it to be AS. Autism gives a WIDE range of symptoms, and requires no real benefit. AS has a floor, and does. So although AS is autism, autism is not necessarily AS. And I apo... |

| people say aspergers is a disability. i know we have problems, but i see it as more of a gift than a curse. the good outweighs the bad and if there was a cure for autism, a big red button infront of me, i would'nt press it. if i did, the kris here would cease to be. Why do people keep making these ... |

I will never forget a girl who asked by our biology teacher didn't know the answer for a question whether a human being is a mammal or... |

| The 1:150 is apparently a FABRICATION! Some say that is 1:150 males(At a 4:1 male to female ratio, that would be 1:375! At a 2:1 male/female ratio, it would be 1:225!), and others say 1:150 PDD(which includes AS and NOS)! Either way, it is misleading at best. Steve Recently an autism expert told me... |

| Other then making a lot of generalizations it seems like an accurate description of how a lot of kids with AS act. Well, ***MY*** "ramblings" were ALWAYS in context! It was tangential at WORST! I ALSO never had a tantrum. Compared to most kids from ANY culture, country, class, etc... I was a nice k... |
