well now,
on monday i went out to autism sa and let a couple of people pick through my brain. today i got their report on their experience. it's in black and white. i live with asperger syndrome.
now comes the real fun. explaining it to people who need to know.
essentially asperger syndrome is a developmental disorder that 'is manifest by the presence of qualitative impairments in social interaction and communication, which are not the result of an intellectual disability, or impaired language development [combined with] restricted and repetitive patterns of interests, activites or behaviours, and there are often significant dificulties witht he processing of sensory information.' {quoting the autism sa diagnostic assessment summary}
see. i really am wierd. at least a little ;)
