Can Aspergers make people dool?

Please explain the term "dool" - no one has responded as they don't know what you mean!

A cross between "drooling", and "dueling"?

Maybe spitting tobacco at forty paces?

According to my dictionary, a "Dool" is a Scottish boundary marker.

Maybe she's asking if Aspies have boundary issues ... ?

Do you mean that you have indulged in "dooling"?

Then tell us what the heck it is.

No need to be snippy...

I suspect the OP meant drooling. In which case, it doesn't often make people drool but some cases of hyposensitivity affecting the mouth can cause this.

Co-morbidity of dyspraxia or learning difficulties make it more likely.

I drool a lot, especially when lying down, but I don't think I blame that on autism. Just so happens to be more comfortable to relax those mouth muscles that prevent drooling.

I remember once falling asleep in a maths class and waking up with a puddle of drool on the table... how embarrassed I was when I had to ask the teacher for a tissue to clean it up XD

Never noticed aspies in the local support group drooling in public.

Doubt that drooling correlates with aspergers.
