I asked my dad why aspergers was created.

Why the hell would god create such a disease?


Why do some people get stuck with it?


I guess the positive to this is it's like taking a beat up truck and making it shine brand new which is something to be proud of.

my best guess is that it is the spiritual equivalent of a competitive runner wearing ankle weights, to build more muscle so when running without the weights the performance is improved. aspergers is a spiritual ankle weight, so to speak- to build spiritual muscle, so the spirit's performance [its level of development or enlightenment] is edified. just my jejune opinion.

Because God doesn't care about you. Otherwise, he would explain it, instead of making you ask your dad.

Like schizophrenia it is a 1% or so part of the genetic heritage of ours, the winning species of hominid. It has a place and serves a purpose to the survival of our species. Hey, somebody had to discover fire and invent the wheel while the other cavemen stood around scratching their butts and smelling each others' armpits.

I guess that's a good point. An aspie with a good additude can go to college....change the world be productive


we are essential.

We need socially awkward scientists to obsess over their work and invent things.
Just found out last night one of my heroes who is a scientist seems very AS. Oppenheimer.

If everyone socialized by going to clubs on the weekend and then the next day crawled to their average job nursing a hangover, and still chatting to their friends when they should be working, the human species would not progress.

I don't see us as having a disease. I believe we are just here to experience the world in a different way and share our experiences with others, so that they may gain something from our perspective. But, I am very much the optimist.

God created autism because he's kind and loving and wise. Like rain, it's one of God's greatest gifts to mankind, and one of the least-appreciated.

aspergers is NOT a disease and never will be. disease affects your physical health, asperger's is not part of your physical health.

The other day I was talking with my friend who is a scientist, and he is very intelligent but like a lot of people doesn't know that much about autism and has preconceived ideas/stereotypes (the stereotype being often non-verbal and kind of like Rainman), so when I found the courage to finally tell him about Aspergers and autism, and that I am a high functioning autistic and/or Aspergers (will be all the same soon anyway) he was denying very much, telling me I don't think you have it you are very smart and good with music and talented and so on, but when I told him about the scientific tests here and my results, he said he is sure he would score as high as me (i.e. on the autism spectrum), and he did one of them, the highly sensitive person and he did have a result very close to mine.

But here's the most interesting part ... being a scientist he is around many other scientists, and he told me he thinks most of them have many of the characteristics of ASD (I showed him a list of traits).

That's brilliant. A lot of scientists I know of seem to have some AS traits.

Yes

An important part of this nutritious breakfast, is my attitude.

I am more inclined to wonder why mosquitoes and obnoxious jerks. Without which life on the spectrum would be notably easier.

Since AS is not a disease, He did not.


Actually, it would be more accurate to ask how others have missed its best and we have missed the rest ... and since we are not each one-offs, I suspect all of that is just something that happens over time.

We are not stuck with anything. We are advance copies of Mankind Version 3.0

Why would any disease be ' created' ?
