I don't get it.

What is it about asperger that attracts the trolls? We don't even get good trolls - this is the shittiest trolling I've ever seen! Where's the drama? The entertainment? The moderators?

Well, I technically am AS, but AS != HFA. Quite a few people on asperger aren't diagnosed as AS but as autistic. Autism isn't incompatible with high intelligence. Anyway, I call myself autistic because it's an easier word to say, and I like it more anyway.

You probably do know other aspies, but not diagnosed aspies. The current theory is that AS/HFA is responsible for both the "geek/nerd" stereotype and the "absent-minded professor" stereotype. Not that all geeks are aspie, etc. etc. etc. but that it's a common enough thing.

And you can certainly ask me questions, but I'm not the expert. I'd suggest autism, but they're... a little "curebie" (and often ignorant). This isn't the time for a discourse on that subject, you'll have to wait for me to get back to you. Djusk' a.
