The following picture below, is a symbolic illustration, of the word "Aspie". The third character is the "Pi" symbol. What say you? Click a box below with your answer.

Aspies and Auties are terms used to describe those with Asperger’s syndrome and autism, respectively. On her New York magazine blog about television, Surf, Emily Nussbaum described a recent thematic trend – “Asperger’s everywhere”:
As far as I can tell, it started with the character of Chloe on 24, but then there was that model on America’s Next Top Model, there’s a contestant with Asperger’s on the Amazing Race, and of course, there’s the magnificent Sheldon on the wonderful Big Bang Theory (which I’m so happy has been getting attention lately).

Later, Nussbaum wrote:
Following up on my Asperger’s post from last week, I’ve noticed two more examples: Brennan and Zach on Bones and the quirky youngest kid on The Middle (who doesn’t have Asperger’s, but seems to be potentially on the spectrum). While Googling to confirm that the writers do indeed intend Brennan to be mildly Aspie, I came across Aspies on TV, an interesting blog by Sarah Abrahamson. Abrahamson notes that Aspies are natural comic foils, given that “much of comedy is based on social interaction and the errors in interaction.”

The author Liane Holliday Willey claims to have coinedAspie” in her 1999 book “Pretending to be Normal”; she later explained:
I intended for it to connotate images of kind and caring individuals who live lives wrapped in different colors and fluffed with different stuffings.
Although some of those with Asperger’s use the term to refer to themselves, the UK National Autistic Society cautions journalists against referring to someone as “an aspie.”

The word “autie” is similarly used by those with autism. Urban Dictionary credits the term’s prominence to the autistic Australian author and artist Donna Williams, who calls herself the “Artie Autie.”

Intriguingly, writing in The Times in August, Neil Amdur also noted a spate of end-of-summer movies featuring Asperger’s:

The three new movies would seem to have little in common: a romantic comedy about Upper West Side singles, a biopic about a noted animal science professor, and an animated film about an extended pen-pal relationship.

But all three revolve around Asperger’s syndrome, the complex and mysterious neurological disorder linked to autism. Their nearly simultaneous appearance — two open this summer, and the third is planned for next year — underscores how much Asperger’s and high-functioning autism have expanded in the public consciousness since Dustin Hoffman’s portrayal of an autistic savant in “Rain Man” 21 years ago.

Co-vocabularists with personal experience of Asperger’s or autism are invited to comment on whether they consider these terms empowering or discourteous.

Naked Aspie

FaceBook: http://andrewlerner.blogspot.com/ <--Click here for latest updates. This blog posting is automatically published on FaceBook. http://andrewlerner.blogspot.com/2009/09/12212012-poll.html

Clothing can be such a pain in ass for Asperger People. It can be too tight, not tight enough, or feels scratchy. Material and fabrics can rub their sensory sensitivities the wrong way. Aspies are not influenced by peer pressure or social "norms". Their independent thinking resists and challenges, conformity and convention. Frustration over their inability to express themselves, make friends, or develop relationships, leaves them with a jonesing feeling. They crave to be noticed and appreciated.

Because of these reasons, some Aspies prefer to just be plain naked. It provides a freedom of expression, and a liberating feeling of empowerment. It gives relief from physical and emotional restrictions. This ironically removes inhibition. There is a release of tension from their frequent social anxiety. They lack passion, and are often asexual. Exhibitionism can be their excitement. Nudity can be confined to a private area, such as one’s own home or apartment, but there are exceptions.

As children, they might have been little “streaker tykes,” taking off clothing that was restrictive in any environment, including public places. Some Aspergers might still take their clothes off in public, depending on their level of fitness and audacity and the amount of money offered that has enticed them to do so. Nakedness is natural and fine, but Aspies must beware. Google is watching.

Google Maps is a lovely application that allows you to stalk, or uh, view a detailed map of many areas, all the way down to the color of the mailbox in front a person’s home. Because of this, being naked in the backyard, even with a privacy fence, comes with the risk of you exhibiting yourself on Google maps. What’s more, one woman reported that Google maps was able to peer all the way into her living room and spy on her cat. Scandalous! And that cat was not even naked. This could only mean one of two things: 1. Google likes to look at naked people. 2. Google likes to look at naked Asperger people, knowing Aspies like to get naked. It is probably a combination of both. So be free, be naked, but don’t forget to close the opaque curtains.

Communication Between Asperger's Adults and their Spouses - Jody Smith

This is an era of transition for adults with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) and their spouses. Until recently, these couples battled unanswered questions and unresolved pain. But because of research and support groups, this can now change.

There is no one personality type for the Asperger's adult. The traits they have in common are neurological in origin, and hamper their ability to read and respond to people around them. But these neurological markers, misunderstood in the past, damage their relationships, particularly if they are married. For the non-Asperger's, or neurotypical, partner there has been a barrier to emotional intimacy throughout the relationship. This may have caused resentment and grief that their AS mate does not love or value them. The neurotypical spouse (NT) may withdraw, or criticize their Aspie, and unhealthy patterns mushroom over years of misunderstanding.

The Aspie may despair that they will always fail in pleasing their mate, and may become hostile or give up trying. The ripples of rejection grow. Enter new research into
Asperger's Syndrome. For couples starting out, and for couples who have weathered this storm for years and still want to weather it together, there is hope. Is it easy? Probably not. Is it simple? Well, yes, in some ways.

The NT will need to accept the fact that they must learn a new way of communicating. They'll need to understand that their partner does not "catch" nuances and hints and intimations that a neurotypical individual might. These things are invisible to the Aspie. Not because they have chosen this to be so. But simply because it is so. Facial expressions, small sighs, innuendo ... these are wasted and non-productive. A straightforward and verbally precise manner is needed on the part of the NT.

And, if their AS mate values the relationship, and is willing to listen to this direct communication, life can change for the better. The Aspie needs to heed the NT's feelings, even though the Aspie has no sense of this for themselves. If the Asperger's spouse is willing to act on the NT's stated needs, the partnership can work. The partners can find fulfillment together.

Does it mean saying goodbye to romance? Perhaps. Or, perhaps it means changing one's idea of what romance is. Does it mean having to come out and say what you mean and mean what you say? Most definitely. And that isn't a bad thing in any relationship.

Another outstanding article by Jody Smith.
"Asperger's Syndrome" (AS) is a term that's fairly new to many of us. "Neurotypical" (NT) is another one. A neurotypical individual is simply one who doesn't have Asperger's Syndrome, a neurological condition related to autism. Asperger's affects the lives of those who have it and the lives of those around them.

Some people with Asperger's Syndrome choose to stay single. Others will marry, and some will have children. Some will have happy marriages and families. And some will not. One important factor in determining their chances of happiness is ... awareness. Awareness that there are two different languages of two different worlds being spoken (or not spoken) in the household.

Anger, resentment,
depression, grief, rejection ... all are experienced on both sides of the great neurological divide. That is, unless the spouses have the chance to realize that this divide exists. And learn how to translate for each other.

Due to the nature of this neurological condition, empathy and emotional intimacy are lacking in a relationship with an Aspie. This doesn't mean that love is lacking however. Aspies love just like anyone else. But they do not grasp the need of having this love expressed, and they don't know when and how it should be done. Unless their neurotypical spouse is willing to teach them. Verbally, concisely, specifically. Not depending on hints, or hoping he or she will just "pick up on it". Aspies don't pick up on it. Like color-blind people can't tell when the stop light turns to green.

The neurotypical spouse has their hands full. So does their Aspie partner. Both may be in for far more than they'd bargained for and certainly have had no real help until just recently, as research has come to light.

A diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome may not sound appealing to most of us. But for the AS individual who has spent their life bumping up against misunderstandings and anger and rejection for reasons they couldn't begin to understand, such a diagnosis can bring relief.

And for their NT spouse, there is reassurance that they are sane after all. There was something different at play all through their relationship. They weren't being oversensitive, being unreasonable. There was a very real disconnect right in the middle of their relationship.


And now, due to the research and media attention, these couples have a chance to bring new methods of communication and understanding to their relationships.

Aspies have problems with social interaction, and personal relationships are usually a disaster. It is hard to get exact figures, but from what I can glean at least 80% of Aspergers persons never get married or have a long-term relationship.

Tourette Syndrome - one of a number of tic disorders, affecting motor or speech. Some Aspergers people also have motor tics typical of Tourette syndrome.

Connecting the dots

"I had always suspected something about me was different. After 40 years, a diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome set me free." Excellently written and explained. More than most articles by and about being an Aspie, this one speaks most acurately about my life as well. I was also diagnosed in 2006, when I was age 48.

On April 13, 2007, at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, I found my Holy Grail. All my life I had sought answers as to why I had trouble getting along with the rest of the world and why I acted the way I did. But thanks to a stranger’s suggestion, and a neuropsychologist, I finally received a simple, straight answer. I was told, at age 41, that I have a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome.

Most of the characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome fit me perfectly: the difficulties with social interaction; my narrow, intense interests; and my need to learn, through clear, logical instruction, what everybody else learns intuitively. This newfound knowledge had me thinking back to the peculiarities of my childhood, when I often felt as if I were living in a different galaxy.

I wanted to be friends with a girl in third grade who reminded me of a gypsy enchantress. The problem was I didn’t recognize that hanging around her beyond a certain amount of time (i.e., following her around) made her uncomfortable. Other kids taunted me at recess and threw dodge balls at my head (and it wasn’t during a game). I would skip down the hallways to my next class and not understand why everyone else thought it was strange. In general, I didn’t know what to do in social situations. In fact, I didn’t even realize that you were supposed to do anything in particular.

While all “Aspies” encounter different situations, many of the difficulties are the same. Today I find it hard (sometimes impossible) to describe a situation in person or to put my thoughts and feelings into the proper words. Thinking back on my life, and armed now with information on Asperger’s, I can understand more of what used to confuse me. My problems can be traced to many different factors, but all of them are consistent with Asperger’s. Take my rigidness, for example. I work in a seafood processing plant, and sometimes it grates on my nerves when I’m stocking shelves in my company’s freezer and I’m suddenly called on to do a different task, such as load food product into the pack room. If you can imagine driving a locomotive, then being ordered to immediately stop and pull every car in your train off the track and go across town to put it all on another track, you might have an idea of what it’s like to have Asperger’s.

Another bugbear that people with Asperger’s struggle with is our “lack of empathy.” By that, I don’t mean that we don’t care about anyone but ourselves. What I’m talking about is the fact that, because of our neurological “mind-blindness,” we’re not always able to sense (in the same manner that most non-autistic, or “neurotypical,” people can) when something we’re doing is upsetting other people.

In 2006, after years of abject struggle through the social landscape, a path was finally cleared. I was at a poetry reading the night before Easter, and a young woman named Ria walked in. At the end of the reading, she asked for my e-mail address. The next day, she sent me a message: “You really come off as if you have Asperger’s syndrome.” Another person might have been offended, but after everything I’d been through, it was a revelation. I did some research and decided her suggestion made sense. A year later, when I was able to get health care, I made an appointment at Beth Israel. After some testing, my doctor confirmed what I’d long suspected: that something about me was different.

I told the doctor that, for my first act as a confirmed Aspie, I “forgive all neurotypicals that ever did me any wrong.” I cannot blame people for not knowing about this kind of disorder. And even if they do know about it, I forgive them if they don’t care. It’s human nature: The only time you really care about somebody’s cross is when you have to carry it yourself.

Now that I can finally put a name to my troubles, I feel reborn. I still have much to learn -- about my condition and about dealing with the outside world. I’m only now beginning this journey of enlightenment. If you can try to understand why I function the way I do, then I will do my best to learn the proper way to do things on the neurotypical side of the fence. In other words, I’ll meet you halfway.

A. S. in Adults

October birthdays: Mar-3, Alison-6, Jeremy-23, Joseph-29, Alan-29.

Adults with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) were once children with Asperger's Syndrome. This seems a simple straightforward observation. But it is neither simple nor straightforward.

This disorder first surfaced about 70 yrs ago. Hans Asperger, a Viennese pediatrician, studied patients who were intelligent and verbal, but socially stilted with poor communication skills. During WWII his research was lost and has only come to light again in the 1980's.

Since the research is so new, it stands to reason that for most of their lives, adults with AS didn't know they had it. And it stands to reason that the problems that come with A
sperger's have dogged them all their lives, with no explanation other than the one hurled by kids at school — "You're weird." All their lives they've wondered how people successfully relate to others. Because the Aspie can't.

They embrace an all-engrossing world of a few passions. These passions are all they think about, or talk about. They can't tell if they've talked too long for a listener's comfort. The Aspie can't read the signs. They didn't know there were any signs.

Spouses may feel unloved and ignored. Their children may battle with depression, having never felt known as an individual, or loved in a discernible way by their AS parent.

Changes in habits and schedules and daily life are upsetting to the Aspie, and may prompt scenes or withdrawal. Lights may be too bright and blinding, and sounds may be too loud and penetrating. Their skin is often hypersensitive to whatever it touches. They avoid eye contact with others. Tight control over their routines creates a sense of order, keeping at arm's length a world that threatens to move in too closely.

Finally, often after years of withdrawal, the adult with Asperger's Syndrome now hears that there are reasons, other than the old school-yard taunt — "You're weird." Reasons that can be understood, and that help remove the stigma of disapproval. It's possible to learn how to deal with some issues that raise like sores for many with AS. The adult with Asperger's Syndrome can learn how to have healthy relationships.

Asperger's Syndrome is a neurological condition, a relative of autism. There's a certain relief that comes with finally knowing this. There is now hope for the AS adult to be able to learn what loved ones have been trying to communicate, in a language the Aspie can understand.
