| I have a question that I hope someone can please answer. Is it possible to have mild William's syndrome? I know that autism is a spectrum disorder, so someone can be a little autisic or a lot. But with WS, it's a genetic thing. Doctors can take a blood sample to the lab and tell you. But, because of... |

| I'm in the same situation. From what I've mentioned in other posts, it was brought to my attention many times throughout my life that I may have AS. I have yet to get a formal diagnosis. However I believe I have one of these, in particular order. Asperger's Multiple-complex Developmental Disorder No... |

1.) I hear the word. Then I see it in my head.
2.) Swings inward to the left and opens to the right. If that makes sense.
2a) Immediate
2b) I had a clear image. |

| I've got a couple books about him and old video converted to DVD. Someone mentioned that he seemed as if he was the type that didn't show his true self to people, or what I mean is that he wouldn't want people to see him 'out of character.' However in certain relaxed interviews where friends would f... |

Sorry to make one of these threads, but I'm interested in what you all think. Kaufman did infact have a lot of aspie things about him. I'm a big fan, and always thought that it was possible. When I did some research I found that many others have speculated it as well.
So what do you think? |

| Male pattern baldness has started to become a special interest of mine. It was once believed that mpb was caused by the males on your mom's side of the family. However this is now not believed to be the case. The males on my mother's side all have thick full hair. My dad's side their all bald. So do... |

are tics common in AS? because as a child I had a lot, almost mild tourettes I would describe it. I still continue at 20 to have some of the same tics, but for the most part they're gone.
Anyway, yes...is that common and could you give me some examples. |

| "There is some evidence that as many as 20% of children with AS "grow out" of it, and fail to meet the diagnostic criteria as adults," That's from wikipedia.

I read that the average IQ is 100. Stephan Hawking has an IQ of 162, Eienstein, 158.
But that may be wrong
Does anyone have a reliable online IQ test? |

I usually write posts or emails when listening to music because my head is most clear then. Or, I can space out and listen to the same song until I reach th... |
