If they are they probably aren't 'mild' then  
I had to blurt that one out sorry  |

I am only recently diagnosed but I had a wonderful moment last week.
I was 'explaining' my AS to a disbelieving friend/good acquaintance.
I was mentioning some of the traits (and trying desperat ... |

My genetic family gatherings can end as train wrecks, so I pretty much avoid that now (there is evidence of AS with a lot of them and it isnt particularly mild either )

Was it the spelling that gave it away? lol I came back to fix it but I can't now you quoted it, think happy thoughts!

First of all calm down (nothing is more guarenteed to calm a person than being told to cal down lol). Maybe if you looked at the level of impairment as mild or sever you'd avoid an aneurysm.

| Everywhere you've got idiots that make fun of AS because it's the 'disease du jour' to be self-diagnosing yourself with. Because some people seem to have 'self-diagnosed', there are people that look ... |

| Again, this response has nothing to do with you personally, just to the points you made. The DSM for AS has long thought to be too general and as far as I know it is being revised to a great extent to ... |

I set up a poll asking whether people recognise MILD AS or not.
Unfortunately each poll can only ask one question and it seems that it would help to put that poll into perspective if we have a pict ... |

There is disagreement over whether people can be mild AS or not.
