I was just instant messaging my new room mate for college and he said he had something like aspergers. I googled it and your site was the first thing I clicked. Also when I signed up for an account the was a drop down selection and I didn't know what any of them were so I picked nyorotipical or something. What does that mean. Is aspergers a disease? Is it able to be caught? What is it? Is he...ret*d?


Clearly a troll, with a bad story at that. Maybe because I am NT this seems far fetched at best but mostly utterly ridiculous. For one, as a freshman, you wouldn't know your roommate assignment as yet. Two, who text their medical history to some dude they have never met? Third, google gives a whole lot of info on AS and other ASDs, if you want a general description, google is probably your best option. Fourth, I have never heard anyone ask in the same sentence if they can "catch" "retardedness". :roll:

What Asperger's really means:

1. Beware the full moon. That's when they turn, albeit momentarily, into werewolves.
2. They've been known to eat their young for sport.
3. Some of them have two heads. This is obviously the most telltale sign.
4. Last, but not least, they're the reason why cats and dogs in your neighborhood are disappearing one by one.


Aw, why couldn't this^ have been the first response?

Also of note: WP doesn't really come up on google unless you are specifically looking for AS forums or communities. There are plenty of things related to AS that can be googled that would provide a wealth of information without ever turning us up.

Be prepared for your roommate's inability to connect with others. Be his friend and try to invite him to parties. Try to get him laid.
