Quite a few of the regular posters around here do have trouble with
social interactions, so you will probably fit right in.

Were not a bunch of autistic savants right? Humm...
 
Hi All:

I have a neurological disability called Asperger's Syndrome.

I would like to give you some information about my disability. The
reason I am posting this message about Asperger's is to help avoid any
potential misunderstandings [though it's probably too late].

I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). AS is a
neurological condition that causes significant impairment in social
interactions. People with AS see the world differently and this can
often bring them in conflict with conventional ways of thinking. They
have difficulty in reading body language, and interpreting subtle
cues. In my situation, I have significant difficulty with natural
conversation, reading social cues, and maintaining eye contact. This
can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding about my intent or my
behavior. For example, I may not always know what to say in social
situations, so I may look away or may not say anything. I also may not
always respond quickly when asked direct questions, but if given time
I am able express my ideas.

On Usenet, the text-equivalent of my disability is probably noticed. I
do apologize profusely, for any inconvenience it causes.

Thank you very much in advance for your understanding, cooperation,
and assistance.


Regards,

Radium

Some people have the idea that text-only interactions are easier for
people with Asperger's syndrome.

Do you get to use a disabled license plate for that? Just curios...

Yup. Cross-posting this to six unrelated NGs made that a moot point.

Does this mean you're going to stop posting all those "How can I
modulate a 5 Hz carrier with a 100 GHz tone at a rate of 1 electron
per hour" type questions?

It means that you're responding to a troll who had to stoop quite low
to fake a message from another troll..

Most ungifted people ("Muggles" ;-) have strong prejudices, and to cover up
for their own lack of abilities, they usually assume that if you are gifted
in one area, it means that you have to suffer somewhere else, or at least
must be some kind of "freak" (in the original "monster" sense of the word).
Fortunately, that's wrong, and typically a higher IQ means "the flood rises
all boats".

People tend to have friends with similar intellectual level, so it's easier
to find local friends if you have an average IQ.

To go back to the original poster: In general, intelligent people see the
world differently, and this can often bring them in conflict with
conventional ways of thinking. Don't worry about that, the emphasis
of "conventional ways of thinking" is on "conventional", not on "thinking".
It's tougher in parts of the world where elitism is shunned, and easier
where it is rewarded. In other words: Don't move to Texas ;-).

Possibly, it might to help full to other road users to know you won't
be driving like an idiot.

Say that again.
 
An obbsesion with cross posting (detecting rather than doing it) is a highly
autistic trait.
Ditto for top posting.

Yup. Cross-posting this to six unrelated NGs made that a moot point.

What makes you think they are unrelated? They may be unrelated to
you but you are not the only person in the world.
Are you autistic by any chance? (or just a bit of a c*nt).

True. Only those with small minds avoid the natural systems, and
fail to truncate excessive cross-posting lists. BTW, PLONK.
 
Hi,

I strongly sympathies your situation, I have also being reading on
this to educate my self on this since I read your post over the
weekend.

Best regards, Suminda Sirinath Salpitikorala Dharmasena

P.S. Any way I wondering is it a good idea to post this in a public
forum unless you are anonymous. I hope that people would be
understandingly and educated about this in the future. - S.S.S.D

P.P.S. I have bookmarked some resources at http://del.icio.us/sirinath/
if you already come across what I have stumbled upon. - S.S.S.D
