How does Asperger's Syndrome affect the person?

Answer 1

It's different for everyone. I, myself, don't drive because I don't coordinate well and can't respond instantaneously in dangerous situations, so I take public transportation. I also worry a lot about "misbehaving" in public places.

A:

As the above person says, it's different for each and every individual person. There are many habits that I, myself, follow - such as avoiding large groups of people and resorting to pacifistic behaviour. While I know one or two people with Aspergers that would "lash out" at others and stand up for themselves, most I know (including myself) would either walk away or put up with it. However, the rare times we do lose our temper, we're known to have no empathy or sympathy for others - showing no mercy as we attack the opponent with a flurry of punches and kicks.

As for lying, we are completely honest and only lie when we know for certain the other person knows it's a joke. Unlike many people in today's society, we have standards and moral ethics. Even if we lie we'll confess within 10 minutes of lying, we'll open doors for others politely, we'll (rarely) disobey authority, we'll do things honourably (E.G: Forget "gangs" and "weapons", if we're forced into fighting - we'll only do so one-on-one, if that.), we hate groups - trying to avoid them as much as possible, we're terrible socially, we react terribly to danger and, most importantly, we need alot of convincing that "friends" are actually kind and will stick by us before we can trust them fully (Which is brilliant for today's society, but it doesn't make us very popular. We take it to the extremes where we judge everyone on first impressions and act unsociably towards them to begin with. We have a "the world is against me" mindset - as we really don't know who we can trust.).

Also, in my case, I fear authority - so it may restrict my actions slightly (E.G: I would never fight unless I'm certain that the teachers, police etc. would allow it - and even then, only if absolutely necessary). This may also make us appear gullible (and, in some situations, we are incredibly gullible), but that could just be us agreeing with everything the person says - attempting to make friends while not disagreeing in-case a fight breaks out or the "friend" stops befriending you.

Answer 2

Asperger's Syndrome is a SOCIAL disorder. People with this disorder can be overly self-conscious and even afraid to be around people out of fear of getting into fights and arguments that they can't handle.

Answer 3

Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is one of the autism spectrum disorders. People with AS usually have difficulty interacting with other people. They might have odd use of language that results in miscommunication. They often have sensory issues that can make certain environments or situations stressful or painful to them. They often have motor control difficulties which can make some physical tasks very difficult. They have one or more intense special interests that might be mistaken for obsessions. These are some ways in which AS affects the person who has it.
