Abz "I've got Aspergers" really?
My father has Aspergers and although I'm certain there are many degrees of it Abz must have .00003 of a degree of it. Does anyone else have experience of this condition?
|
My best mate at school had mild aspergers. She was just a bit..strange :/
Like, she would randomly sit in puddles when we were out if she fancied it, and once jumped off durham bridge to 'swim with the ducks' She wasn't too good in social situations though, she would be extremely quiet in groups, but was fine one to one, or in a group of people she knew well. |
I didn't know he had aspergers. Poor guy. :(
|
Finding social situations difficult is the obvious one , I can't believe he would want fame or even be in a band if he had this condition.Also he would say exactly what he thought Aspergers sufferers have no filter as far as thoughts and saying it is concerned, so I am sceptical tbh.
Maybe if he sits in a puddle I might be convinced! |
I know someone with Asperger's and I remember a while back when he was completely withdrawn from social situations and never seemed to be able to detect sarcasm/banter from being genuine...
He's still a bit like that but has gradually learned to deal with it over the years. |
Waiting for the generic *he's playing the Aspergers card for votes*.
|
He does seem to struggle a bit in there.At least now we know why.
|
Has he ever mentioned this before?
It's a funny old show to go on if he has that condition. |
I have Aspergers syndrome. I really do; I was diagnosed in '09.

When we were last year at junior school..our teacher was saying something, and said to my mate 'oh the penny has dropped' And she started looking on the floor for a penny... No concept of sarcasm or anything. She used to get quite upset if we were sarcastic to each other (never did it to her as she took it as insults) |
Get this when I was 14 my Father told me I was never going to beautiful so best I make the most of my personality and study hard at school.!

My mother, brother and I have thought for some time my dad might have been undiagnosed aspergers.
[eta] I phrased that badly. We thought for a time that he may have been. Ended up thinking maybe not. |

I was pretty irritated when he said "I've got a condition called aspergers"
FFS - it's not a "condition". I have 2 sons, a husband, father, brother and sister with aspergers..... Maybe I just don't like him, but the way he said it wound me up |
I have heard of it but I don't know anything about it.
|
I know a few people with Aspergers, and it sort of makes sense that he has it.

Genuine question, and please forgive my ignorance on this, but what would be a more acceptable description? |
I have Aspergers I don't like social situations and hate physical contact and don't make eye contact.

I looked on the internet for the use of the word 'condition', and it does seem to apply to Aspergers. Condition is just a word that means state of health. You can use it for almost any health situation. I am in fairly good condition.

I love it when the TiBB Medical Professionals make threads.
