His Irlen lenses look a lot like mine. He seemed noticably anxious when he took off his glasses, and then he read slowly. I do the same thing. My lenses help me to read a lot faster. College would be a lot more difficult without them. Thank you. I think this is my favorite video so far. His Irlen lenses look a lot like mine.

Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni. Therefore feathers are macaroni? A whale shares many commonalities with a fish. Are whales fish? The same can be said about Aspergers and Autism. Outwardly they seem to show commonalities. Yet the differences are profound. In particular regard to the pathologies. Which begs the question, why are they combined under the ASD umbrella? The answer is as disturbing as it is simple. Money. (See comments below) Interesting logic.

The difference between AS and KS is that usually, there are no learning disabilities or significant speech delay.

At the end of the day, people on the spectrum (doesn't matter how severe) often have similar (if not the same) problems and often (if not always) benefit from the same kind of therapies(speech and language/behavour therapies, etc). So who fucking cares if autism is technically different? So what? Is a Basking Shark any less of a shark because it's not deadly like the Great White?

Just look at Luke Jackson and his family and look at a lot of autism families- there are often classic autistics AND aspies. AND Wendy Lawson (a female aspie authour) has an aspie son and I don't know about her other kids, but it's not always the father that gives it to the child. Maybe it seems that there isn't a genetic link to Kanner Syndrome because after many families have a severely autistic child, they stop having kids. That’s not true.

There are many reasons for having social deficits not connected with Autism. There are certainly commonalities connected with mental disabilities. And therefore, there are often commonalities with the therapies involved. AS isn't always passed down through the father, true.

If you're shy, you might turn red etc. when you have to interact with people or feel very uncomfortable. It seems like a confidence problem or perhaps being self-concious. You may or may not know what to do when you're around people but you feel too inhibited to do it. Aspergers is not really related to lack of confidence, rather that they don't pick up on social norms and have a much harder time learning appropriate responses. They may speak in a monotone, have expressionless faces. This is often a problem for the people around them since they cannot read them too well and it sounds like they are lacking in emotions. http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/tc/aspergers-syndrome-topic-overview "They usually lack the social instincts and practical skills needed when relating to others.

Although children with Asperger syndrome acquire language skills without significant general delay, and the speech of those with AS typically lacks significant abnormalities, language acquisition and use is often atypical.[3] Abnormalities include verbosity; abrupt transitions; literal interpretations and miscomprehension of nuance; use of metaphor meaningful only to the speaker; auditory perception deficits; unusually pedantic, formal or idiosyncratic speech; and oddities in loudness, pitch, intonation, prosody, and rhythm.[1] Three aspects of communication patterns are of clinical interest: poor prosody, tangential and circumstantial speech, and marked verbosity. Although inflection and intonation may be less rigid or monotonic than in autism, people with AS often have a limited range of intonation; speech may be unusually fast, jerky or loud. Speech may convey a sense of incoherence; the conversational style often includes monologues about topics that bore the listener, fails to provide context for comments, or fails to suppress internal thoughts. Individuals with AS may fail to monitor whether the listener is interested or engaged in the conversation. The speaker's conclusion or point may never be made, and attempts by the listener to elaborate on the speech's content or logic, or to shift to related topics, are often unsuccessful.[3] Children with AS may have an unusually sophisticated vocabulary at a young age and have been colloquially called "little professors", but have difficulty understanding figurative language and tend to use language literally.[1] Individuals with AS appear to have particular weaknesses in areas of nonliteral language that include humor, irony, and teasing. They usually understand the cognitive basis of humor but may not enjoy it due to lack of understanding of its intent.[10] There is a huge difference in communication… just read…

What we are against is neurotypical family members acting like they can speak for any autistics, low functioning and high functioning. It took AS 5 years to recruit ONE autistic representative John Elder Robinson. He has an excellent point saying that when autism is described as a horrific disease, it really hurts autistics and only causes NTs to pity them. @Skymaker69 We never said we were against treatment; some of us are against a cure, I personally am neutral.

The children who have "recovered" or greatly progress to the point that they are able to function independently had been affected environmentally in their development. Improving their health and assisting them intensively in their learning is what has assisted them. Parents will always want the best for their children, it is in their genes.

They have nothing to do with autism, however, they can make kids seem more autistic-like, only because they have trouble communicating their pain, so therefore withdraw further. Parents need to be wary of this. And they should also give their kids interventions. ASAN never had anything against these procedures, nor do I, especially since I have received some myself. I still think AS is 99ed up, because they don't give a cowpie what autistics think of them. Of course sicknesses should be treated.
