Do any of you know a good topic for an emptemology speech? Its a speech about a specific subgroup in the world or America. Please email me at [email protected] if you have any ideas.

A what speech? I can't find that word in any of my dictionaries, and I can't just guess what it's supposed to be...

Did you per chance mean anthropology? Forgive me if I'm way off.

Well, one obvious subculter would be people with AS.

An easy one, 'cause there is lots of stuff out there, might be the Amish.

I think it might be this entomology - the study of insects.

One sub-group I can think of is annoying co-workers.

PS google is realy great for a technical word you don't know how to spell

Ah, insects!

Now that new word will....bug...me all day.



BeeBee

I used dictionary.com and it couldn't find anything like it.

OK, I'm giving this my stab in the dark. Is it either Ethnography or Ethnology?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnography

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnology

Or etymology, the study and history of words?

In that case, I don't know a good topic.

Its Ethnography. And I think I'm going to do people with AS. If you don't mind answering some non-personal questions I'll send them to you. Just email me at [email protected] and I'll send them along. Thanks for your help on it and sorry I spelled it wrong.

Thanks for clearing that up!

If the questions are non-personal you might even consider posting them here....you'd get a wide range of responses.

Otherwise, are you looking for people with formal Dx's, and only AS or other PDDs too. Any special age range?

Inquiring minds want to know!

BeeBee

Go ahead and post questions. I'll answer most any question.
<<<<<<<<< that's so funny!

Ok. I will

1. How long have you known that you have AS?
2. What is the main problem you have with AS?
3. What have you noticed about others with AS?
4. Does anybody else in your family have AS?
5. How do you deal with AS?
6. Do you regret having AS?
7. What is one thing you don’t regret about AS?
8. If you could, what is the one thing you’d change about AS?

Thanks for helping me clear this up.

3-4 years.



Worded it weirdly, not sure I understand.. Umm... not a big fan of trouble reading body language.



I've never met anyone else with AS in person. But I've noticed that a lot of people here have similar problems.



Grandfather might have it(Chemical engineer, likes trains). I've been told I have "eccentric" uncles (grandparents brothers) I've never met before. Other than that, no other family member has been dx'ed.



I adapt. I've gotten a lot better at ignoring background noises over the past year. I've also learned to stop murmuring. I've resisited rambling a lot.



No, not really. I regret having ADD, but not AS. You see, I have a gift. I see society from a different perspective that society sees itself. I see it as something to enter and exit as you please. While society is worried about itself, I'm off doing my own thing. I'd rather teach myself things than talk on the phone. And so, because of my view, I don't regret it. I could go on, but no one wants to read my rant about society. It's a fairly long one.

[qoute]7. What is one thing you don’t regret about AS? [/quote]

N/A. I said that I don't regret having AS, so this doesn't apply to me.

[qoute]8. If you could, what is the one thing you’d change about AS?[/quote]

Eye contact I can fix to a certain extent on my own. But, I'd love to be able to read body language. This is a key ingredient in communicating that I don't have. I can carry on a conversation, I can make decent eye contact if focusing hard, but I can't read subtle cues made via body language.

NP.

I was diagnosed two years ago. My mum always knew I was weird, and I started feeling different from other kids when I was about eleven or twelve.



My main problem is my difficulty socialising.



I don't personally know anyone with AS (well at least someone who thinks they have it). I only know people from WrongPlanet. I know people with some AS tendencies, so I have to say that people with AS are odd.



I am the only one who has been dignosed, but a lot of people in my family show different signs of it. My mum and some of my cousins are obsessive, my dad has ADD (some of the symptoms are similar), my aunt doesn't care what others think about her, one cousin is four and isn't really speaking much yet, my dad's father can't see other people's points of view, supposedly I have a third cousin who hasn't left his house in ten years, and I'm sure I could think of more. Combine all of my relatives' personalities and you have AS.



I just constantly think about it and for the most part try to appear NT.



Not usually, but sometimes. I do know that I miss out on certain things by having it.



Can I choose two? My ability to pick up useless bits of information and obsessing over certain topics.



Having emotional connections and empathy for other people.

1. How long have you known that you have AS?

I have had AS all the life. I was diagonised when I was two years old.

2. What is the main problem you have with AS?

My main problem is with socializing

3. What have you noticed about others with AS?

I don't know anyone with AS

4. Does anybody else in your family have AS

No, I am the only one with it.

5. How do you deal with AS?


Just keep calm and try my best

6. Do you regret having AS?


No, I just trying to enjoy my life as much as possible.

7. What is one thing you don’t regret about AS?

Great long- term memory

8. If you could, what is the one thing you’d change about AS?

Have a lot more connections with people
