Stereotypes about us the Asperger and autistic?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm wondering how many among us are undiagnosed but should be diagnosed.

I have official diagnoses of AS, but as kid psychologists and psychiatrist think i have ADHD ( because as kid i have problem with focus)

Only letter on they decided that i did not have hyperactivity but very mild autism (Asperger)

I wonder if you are in the world people who would be considered autistic people, but are not diagnosed because they do not fit the typical autistic behavior patterns?

I once watched a program about extreme sports, there were interviews with kids who are on the professional competitions skateboard, X-game and so on, struck me the passion with which they talk about their disciplines, that when the pass by on a board or bike nothing more for them does not count I have not ridden a child on board, or even skiing, because I have weak knees

But when I was a kid and now today, I could talk for hours about aviation, astronomy, aeronautics or Kama Sutra generally about things that fascinate me. I wonder whether prominent artists, scientists or athletes, not attained their success largely to the fact that they were a little autistic;-)

Probably quite a few.

These idea simply come from a lack of understanding of the definition of autism and its diagnosis. Being passionate about something doesn't mean you have autism, and it isn't even considered a part of the diagnostic process. No psych is going to say "I see you're passionate about football, that's a sign of autism". A lot of people are passionate about things.
