Its not tuaght or choosen.
Aspergers is how the brain body and face develope
While in the embryo.
Aspies brains are developed in a way that reception
In the brain such as taste smell sound touch is
All processed in a way that NT subjects.
Brain developement is correlated to face development
In utero.
He told me his mother lived in colorado and grandfather
Mined uranium in the 40s. His mother was exposed
To highly radio active water, air ,dust every day his granp
Came home.
his mom would wash his grandfathers radio active clothes
Along with her own....
His mother once took uranium rocks to school for
Show and tell.
His grandfather died of lung cancer , his mother lost
All her adult teeth by a 12 , his mothers brothers and
Sisters have all died of lukema and cancers...
In discussion with people alot of people exposed
To radiation give birth to autistic children
"In discussion with people" is anecdotal at best and is not scientific evidence. As I already stated, there are a variety of genes involved in autism. science is still speculating regarding how environment affects genes with regards to autism.
It sounds like you have picked up opinions and read a few things and formulated your own opinion, and are posting some offensive comments such as "real Aspies" and insulting people on here.
Not everyone on here is diagnosed but that doesn't mean that those that are diagnosed were misdiagnosed nor that none of the self-diagnosed/undiagnosed have Asperger's.
You are overlooking the fact that we are not robots, we may have Asperger's but we still have our own personalities! You have some very outdated and stereotypical views of autism and are clearly what is known as an armchair philosophiser!
There is not yet any brain scan or medical way to certifiably diagnose autism. It is a neurological condition not a medical or mental one.
Unless your friend has asked you to interfere in his life the best thing you can do is to leave this issue alone, you are making guess work and failing miserably at it too.

I asked him if i can post his pictures on a site about
Autism
his response was ..... " maybe someone can tell
Me wtf is wrong with me cuase im not
Normal what ever normal is does anyone really know
Whats normal "
Nobody can tell him "wtf is wrong with him" by looking at his picture. If your friend even exists, he can come here and talk about his problems himself, or even better, get professional help and some kind of diagnosis. But given your description of physical traits and eating habits I must ask if your "friend" also has whiskers...
Am I the only one who has a very funny feeling about this thread?

Yep the more she tries to tell us what autism is and isn't the more I smell Troll. As someone who has been diagnosed by an expert in the field, I find her opinions increasingly bizarre.
I truly wish there really was a brain scan to test for autism, it would be so much easier to get a diagnosis.
My wife has almond shaped eyes and isn't autistic, I am officially aspergers and have perfectly normal eyes. I also don't have webbed fingers, pointy ears, extra long arms or indigo blood. I'm just a normal human being like anyone else.
And no my condition is not just shyness, there are a whole boatload of sensory issues that I have to live with too.

I have Autism. My communication difficulties mean that I sometimes get words wrong, that what I mean is not what comes out.
But he has all those traits
Pointie ears
Almond eyes
Large forehead
Wide cheekbones
Large philitrum
Androgynous features in ways looks female
And male
Long arms
Long eyelashes
Small upturned nose
Gazing stare
Celiac
mother exposed to uranium
Square face
If he had one or two traits i would
Not suspect autism but he has all
The physical traits common with autism
I think peoples opinions might change when
They see a facial picture.
now im not saying everyone with these traits or
That does not have these traits have autism
But i see alot of people on this forum that
Are quick to jump the guy
"cant tell by a pic "
" i have it but i look like everyone else"
" no one can tell aspies have a sense of humor"
Looking at his face i bet most people will say
" yea something about it is off "
from all the medical research ive read is
Aspergers autism is decided before birth
Some people who are autistic like have
Had truma or self esteem issues cuasing
Their social withdraw or antisocial behavior
For myself im a fat ugly woman, i know im fat
And ugly so i stay inside alot read book and don't
do the whole chitchat with strangers thing.
Am i shy am i nervous, no i just was never accepted
No guys asking or chasing me around. Am i lesbian
No but i know sex with men isnt gonna happen. So
Im asexual as well as my friend
There are facial characteristics associated with foetal alcohol syndrome. Could be that or similar, given the pre-natal exposure to radiation.
"If he had one or two traits i would

There are no physical traits common with autism.
Going by your description he sounds more likely to be a leprechaun than autistic!

THIS THREAD is proof enough that physical traits are NO way to diagnose. Period... end of story.
In appearance, we are as different as NTs are... So your friend is pretty... Good for him... he likes to live alone and is asexual... awesome...
WE, on this board, ARE NOT qualified to diagnose him... and if we were... it cannot be done by a third party description of the guy...
If he functions well... why does it even matter?

I have Autism. My communication difficulties mean that I sometimes get words wrong, that what I mean is not what comes out.
No he dosnt function well... Im hoping to help him
Get on disability and medical help for depression
Anxiety lowself esteem.....
My fear is to read in the newspaper he killed himself ...
He does not make alot of money and says he can't
Afford medical help. I was hoping other aspies would see facial characteristics that might confirm
A autistic aspergers type diagnosis.
I would hate to go to his house and see through the windows his body dangling from a rope around his.neck
