| It is the usual, we are all a culture of one, and the bandaid is one size fits all. You do have problems, human, teen, in school, but I lack empathy. As for the real problems, that is what this site is for. Diagnosed by a slightly trained human. Three points out of twelve and they have done their j... |

| Okay, so, I was diagnosed with Asperger's in May. I'm now feeling like all the support given to me (note takers in classrooms, 'helpers' on trips -- I was supposed to have one in all my classes, but Jesus, no...) is too much. I feel like my liberty has been taken away, and as my feelings of 'opposit... |

So, all my teachers think I'm lazy. And it's not that I know what I'm talking about, it's like, the knowledge is just... the... |

| I'm really, really quite worried about it. Ugh. I know some people from my old school (I left secondary school in Year 9 because of severe depresion - my Asperger's was suspected but undiagnosed then). Anyway, 1) I'm worried that the people I know from there who will go will make my life Hell and br... |

| I've seen a lot of people posting about a character from Cliff Claven from Cheers who they believe is AS. I've never really seen the show, so I can't comment on that, however I really adore Frasier, and I think, especially when you look at some of the first episodes with him and his Dad you can see ... |

| I think most of the characters from the BBC sitcom 'My Family' do. Nick Nah, Nick is just a thick No, Nick isn't thick. He reminds me a lot of my brother, who reminds me a lot of myself, and I have been officially diagnosed with Asperger's. Even if he doesn't have Asperger's, he's obviously a wind-... |

| How about Mr Darcy, from Pride & Prejudice ? His halting social skills and inability to really make an emotional connection with Elizabeth until the very end of the film (and the novel it's based on) surely can't be NT. That's my theory! As a matter of fact, back in the day, I posted a thread e... |

| 29. Some of them were so stupid though, I mean, half of them looked as if they were amused? And one of the pictures was so blurry that I doubt anyone could guess it, unless they already knew what it was. Pft. Oh well, I apprently don't understand the difference between happy and neutral faces anyway... |

| I agree...sort of. I'm currently in Year 11 (just coming up to my GCSEs D=) and I'm only just about to be assessed for Asperger's. However, I used to be removed from my class for at least an hour a week because of my lack of social skills, which lead me to be more, or assumed more, badly behaved tha... |
