Even then maybe start with 1 week visit or something. |

| I thought asperger's disorder WAS autism? So does it not exist anymore? Asperger's is a type of autism. One can be autistic and not have Asperger's. I don't know what you are replying to, but if you are referring, in your second sentence, to Asperger's not being in the upcoming revision of DSM, wel... |

| You can probably visit 5 different doctors and recieve 5 different diagnosis regarding this. It is still very much debatable what is what even at the top of the field, let alone some random diagnostician. So while not getting the "wanted" diagnosis is probably a bit of a shock i wouldn`t worry too m... |

| Looking back i would have probably chosen a bit more demanding school(s) if i had the chance to. Problem is that in our country (probably due to size) we don`t really have them, maybe some after school activites, camps, but that`s about it. You still have to attend regular school to be able to advan... |

| I find that the question "How are you?" is very difficult to answer. "I'm okay" is usually the correct answer on that one, unless they're asking about something specific. It's particularly confusing when you're not okay, though, and then you have to figure out if you're supposed to lie or not. (Lik... |

By the time I formulate the words to respond to something the discussion has already moved on to something else. If I manage to say anything, it's usually very short.

Reason i find all of them difficult is the simple fact that to pass serious university level of each of those 3 you have to either get it or you... |

| Either way, if you tell about AS in the interview and they have more at least similar candidates to choose from they can pretty safely scratch you from the list. They might have no idea what it is, but if it has a name then it has to be something "serious", and when you start to explain your brain w... |

| As far as i saw those labels are more used for autism as a whole spectrum and i do think some sort of grading is needed. You just can`t put everyone in the same basket. Like for example a person who can`t speak or take care of itself vs. someone who just barely meets the criteria. There is of course... |

All people should just accept that we are all somehow different from each other and appreciate it, rather than put a tag on anything that isn`t exactly what we/they collectively imagine as normal. Oh and um answer to original question... |

It`s too far in the future to make any good guess really. If anything we`ll probably destroy majority of the population one way or the other by then. |

| My first guess on original question would be no. If you devise an algorithm to find a solution for a given problem that by no means is enough to prove that it is the only solution. If you somehow do manage to include that as well in your algorithm then i`d say you included the proof in your algorith... |
