Asperger’s Syndrome

asperger’s syndrome is a neurological condition and developmental disorder categorized as an autism spectrum disorder. symptoms of asperger’s syndrome, or as, often manifest themselves as forms and examples of social inept-tude, such as: naivete; mild-ish difficulty communicating and expressing ideas, especially a.) to another person in person and/or b.) through the spoken word (this one is especially from personal experience); mild to -moderately- severe difficulty making eye contact due to the eyes showing a lot of emotion and telling exactly what the other person is feeling or thinking because our brains don’t work that way; narrow-mindedness, to a certain degree; etc.

however, individuals with as, frequently referred to as ‘aspies’, often – not always, but often – have an iq ranging from average to considerably high. “symptoms” and advantages of such a high iq resulting from as include: a fascination with – almost obsession over – a specific topic (examples: greek and/or roman mythology/mythologies, dystopian science fiction, a specific period in history); very large vocabularies filled with sophisticated and sometimes kinda complicated words; knowing almost everything there is to know about their topic; being the most likely to succeed in all the nerdy careers so that everyone else can get to being superstars and supermodels and pop stars and other social icons that almost every neurologically typical teen idolizes; etc.
