Define Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

I realize that it might come up at some point, and I'd like to be able to tell someone what aspergers is as simply as possible, if only the basics. Now I know it is complex, and has many little things that mostly define it, but is it even possible to sum it up? And I don't mean in just a sentence, a paragraph even.

So... this seems like the kind of problem that aspies would be perfect to solve, and I figured it has already been done before. So instead of going through the wikipedia page and finding the best and simplest parts (because if this doesn't work, I probably will ), I wonder if such an explaination already exists?

I like this explanation as it is not a negative one - but this is just my personal preference. I appreciate that finding the explanation which works best for you is very much a personal individual thing.

Although this is not an especially short explanation, there are a few key sentences which I personally find useful to give a brief description of AS.

But like I said, this is simply my preference and I totally understand that some people may prefer other ways of describing AS.

plural of Asperger, a crazy German guy

in a sentence: Hitler's followers were mainly Aspergers, lacking in sanity

I just point ppl to the wiki page, if they don't want to make the effort to read that they don't deserve to know imho

NT brains operates one way, Aspie brains operates another, so wires continually get crossed.

A lack of social sight
that's offset by obsessive might

To me anyway.
