| I have thought about harming and murdering people at various points in my life but I don't think that it is related to having autism. |

| "Not having a mean bone in his body" doesn't really have to do with being autistic but more his personality. Some people just take the abuse that's dished out to them. |

| Stereotyped motor mannerisms are only one of many diagnostic criteria that would come together as autism or AS and are therefore not required for diagnosis. |

One may have AS and have symptoms that are more serious than someone diagnosed with autism and vice versa. As I understand it: AS=autism without the language delays PD... |

I am diagnosed with Aspergers and:
1. I had/have problems with starting or keeping up a conversation.
2. I used/use language in unusual ways (repetitive speech and making up my own words).
3. It took me longer to learn to take care of myself than most. |
