But if someone doesn't have any of the symptoms, how come they get the diagnosis? |

I agree. Those kinds of men look like idiots to me. |

| Maybe there is a higher risk that a child of someone who has aspergers syndrome will also have it. But so what? The choice you make when you choose to have a baby is to give a new person life. It's not your choice to give him or her AS. And even if that child will have some sort of autistic disorder... |

| I'd rather say that people who like sci-fi are more prone to be less NT than most people. What's the difference? Here's a link to an online test wich can give you a hint at the question if you have AS or not: http://www.piepalace.ca/blog/asperger-test-aq-test I find it both usefull and kinda accura... |

| Sci-Fi? It's implied in my name. ;) But I'd qualify it by saying I'm not strictly sci-fi; I like fantasy as well, but not strictly fantasy; I like mythology as well. What I'm saying is that I don't think it's the trappings of the genre as much as the idea of otherwordliness that might attract us, w... |

Spokane Girl and Edal.
I'm definitely not saying that likeing sci fi makes someone an aspie. I know it is not a diagnos criteria.
I was just thinking that maybe there is an overlap. |

| I'm quite fond of hard sci-fi meself (i.e. tech with limitations rather than machines that work by magic). I'm not sure there's a link between asperger's and sci-fi but there certainly seems to be a fair bit of overlap. I think I get what you mean. I like sci fi that seems realistic, like Contact o... |

| Hello. This is totally unscientific but it seems to me that it's more common for people who are sort of "aspieish" then "regular" people to like sci fi. Personally, I don't think I have enough aspietraits to qualify for a diagnosis. (Or maybe I do, I dont know. But at this point in my life it don't ... |

Yes.
More so when I was younger and not so much as an adult. But in some ways I have had "relaps" as an adult as well. |

| Chauo, the #1 reason is actually normal for everyone. Everyone looks up in a particular direction to remember or to make something up. There is other eye-rolling that is either involuntary or for some sensory reason. That's what the OP is referring to and what my son kind of does. Mostly my son sha... |

That's not fair. That actually makes me a bit angry at your teacher. |

| I think there are at leat two types of eyerolling. 1. Looking up because you are thinking or looking for information in you mind. I sometimes do that if someone asks me a question that I have to think about. I guess there may be various reasons depending on your personality. But it's not because you... |
