  • It's a neurological condition, present from early childhood, in which we struggle with social interaction and communication and display restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviours and interests. We don't get people, have little to no interest in others, struggle with making friends because we don't understand the rules of social play or small talk. We have special interests over which we obsess . We love routines and lists and see patterns in things that others would see as everyday. But really, you have to be us to understand us.

  • [quote] But really, you have to be us to understand us.[/quote] Well I'd have to disagree about that. I think i could understand people with aspergers just fine. But than again I've often felt, and so does my wife that I have a mild form of aspergers.

    You either have Aspergers or you don't. There are no degrees of it. Your behaviours may be different from others with Aspergers but you still have Aspergers. And it's not about understanding us verbally or understanding what we are doing but understanding our motivations and why we are speaking or acting that way that neurotypicals can't get.
