A Guide To Asperger Syndrome

[CaptainAce$$]

I believe she's asking whether they do genuinely lack empathy/the ability to understand exactly what another person is feeling like (put yourself in there shoes) or whether it just appears that way to others.

Oh, to answer that its a yes. I can't put myself in other peoples shoes no matter how hard I try and I don't know what people are feeling to be honest until they tell me. Even then sometimes I don't understand. Thanks for explaining it to me.

yeah that's exactly what i meant but couldn't put it in to words, thanks

but no need to worry about it, the difference is you genuinely can not empathize (which is different to sympathize) with someone whereas non-suffers can do it but some of them choose not - hence the small-minded reactions to a helpful guide :/

and i also wanted to add how interesting it was that the OP showed how it was different for an aspergers sufferer when playing habbo because it's not face to face and the examples given made complete sense so ye +rep

Habbo is easy because of that reason. For most/some of us our only social lives are online because offline it is much harder to communicate to others because of all that social stuff.

Remind me never to come to you to talk about my problems . Nah seriously though it's a good guide, I guess when I speak to you you're always cheery to me and you tell me everything in a positive way which I understand, is that a trait to it or is that your overall persona? .

Overall, though, I've known you since what 2009 (on and off) and never noticed any of the symptoms but it affects each sufferer differently (and I probably just don't know myself lmao). Sorry for going on I don't know if I made any sense .

You make sense for me to understand it enough to reply to you Err, I don't think its a trait but maybe search it on google? Even I am still learning things about aspergers. There really is alot to learn about it and it's more complex then it might first appear. I do know though, people with aspergers see the world in a different way because I notice things others don't such as how shiny things are and little details on items.

The only way I can describe aspergers that is very basic but good enough for people to understand is that our brains are wired up in a different way therefore it works in a different way too.

Interesting guide, didn't know half of that stuff before. Thanks.

One of my closest mates has Asbergers but he has somehow managed to be one of the most approachable and friendly people I know and I believe that was done to how his parents raised him up. He has the co-ordination and not detecting expressions and in paticular he cannot grasp the concept of sarcasm that much. He is a clever guy in paticular his technical theatre stuff and I rarely even remember about his AS.

@CaptainAce; i was being sarcastic...
