Asperger's Syndrome

[sasguru]

"Individuals with AS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space.

By definition, those with AS have a normal IQ and many individuals (although not all), exhibit exceptional skill or talent in a specific area. Because of their high degree of functionality and their naiveté, those with AS are often viewed as eccentric or odd and can easily become victims of teasing and bullying. While language development seems, on the surface, normal, individuals with AS often have deficits in pragmatics and prosody. Vocabularies may be extraordinarily rich and some children sound like "little professors." However, persons with AS can be extremely literal and have difficulty using language in a social context. "

Sounds familiar. I guess I have at least one of those symptoms, but not as many as some here.

Certainly not the one I quoted, unless you multiply your IQ by 3, then you are closer to the average.

No stop you're too funny. My sides are splitting with laughter.
Why can't Italian's do humour? If you did, large swathes of your population wouldn't have voted for that ridiculous buffoon Mussolini.
