Yeah, as it happens, that is a subject very close to my own heart. I often wonder whether people with AS can come across as "different" or whether you don't know unless you tell them. From what I've heard, read and encountered, they can feel as though they don't fit in and that they see things through different perspectives, that not everybody can understand, and that they can feel that people don't always relate to them.

I know it was a term not commonly used until recent years, I've heard that people with AS can be labelled as "different" or just "odd". I tend to see the person that they are and not the traits that they have (anyone who wants an explanation of my post, in case I'm not clear, just U2U or MSN me)
