A karyotype would be unable to Turner syndrome?
No, a karyotype shows if a person has Turner syndrome.
Has anyone lived with someone with ADHD or Asperger syndrome and would be willing to answer some concerns you are having?
I am a special education teacher that has worked with students who have ADHD and/or Asperger's Syndrome.
What type of diagnosis is from a karyotype?
A karyotype tells you if you have the normal ammont of chromosomes (46 for humans), it can also tell you if you have more or less and if this is the case what it is that you have. The most common syndrome would be Down Syndrome, or trisomy 21. Down Syndrome is also called trisomy 21 because if you look at a karyotype from someone that has this syndrome then they have three coppies of the 21st chromosome.
Does Radha Mitchell have Asperger's Syndrome?
From interviews with her about the movie Mozart and the Whale in which she played a character with Asperger's Syndrome, it would seem very unlikely that she has it. She said that she learned about autism and Asperger's Syndrome when working on the movie. She also explained that "they" (people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome) see the world from a different perspective. She seems to use "they" and "their" for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, while using "we" and "us" for people without autism or Asperger's Syndrome, so I would assume that she does not have it.
Why do famous people have Asperger's Syndrome?
A small fraction of the population has Asperger's Syndrome. It is likely that some of these people would become famous. People with Asperger's Syndrome can excel in their special interest areas and thus can become famous in those areas. There are famous historical people who are speculated to have Asperger's Syndrome because of a few traits known about them. They did not necessarily have Asperger's Syndrome.
Does Lisa Simpson have Asperger's Syndrome?
I don't think Lisa has Asperger's syndrome otherwise she would have not a lot of social skill but maybe she just was born with a high IQ. And this answer was written by someone who has Asperger's syndrome. What a plot twist!
Does it mean you have Asperger's Syndrome if you love pigs?
Loving pigs is not a symptom of Aspergers's Syndrome. You might have Asperger's Syndrome, but you might not. More information would be necessary to determine whether it is a possibility. A link to a list of symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome is provided below.
If Asperger's Syndrome is not genetic where would it come from?
As of this present moment, noone knows where Asperger's develops or "comes from"
Has anybody been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome but later found out they have Asperger's Syndrome?
Yes. There are people who have both Tourette's syndrome and Asperger's Syndrome. Depending on the severity of each, sometimes Tourette's syndrome will be diagnosed before Asperger's Syndrome. Both conditions have echolalia as a possible symptom, so if it is diagnosed as an element of Tourette's syndrome, it might not be considered as a symptom of another condition, which could delay diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. However, Asperger's Syndrome is diagnosed based on a number of symptoms, so a diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome would probably mask only a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome. Before Asperger's Syndrome became a recognized condition, it was diagnosed as other conditions. It is possible that one of those misdiagnoses could have been Tourette's syndrome.
Does Temple Grandin have autism or is it Asperger's Syndrome?
When she was a child, Temple Grandin was diagnosed as having autism. If she were being diagnosed today, it would probably be labeled Asperger's Syndrome.
Can someone with mild Asperger's syndrome become an intelligence officer in the RAF?
This would probably be done on a case by case basis. It depends on how severe it is. However, unfortunately I don't think that they would be overly keen to recruit someone with Asperger's syndrome so avoid the topic unless asked directly. Don't lie because in the end it will all come out and they would probably chuck you out for lying to them.
Can Asperger's Syndrome be mistaken for high IQ?
I think it would be unlikely that Asperger's Syndrome (AS) would be misidentified as high IQ; however, a person with Asperger's Syndrome might also have a high IQ. A person with AS will have various symptoms, some of which might cause a misdiagnosis of an attention deficit disorder (ADD or ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a learning disability, or other conditions. As an example, it seems unlikely that a medical professional would explain rarely speaking, an intense interest in doorknobs, lack of eye contact, or experiencing extreme anxiety when lights flash as having a high IQ. A person can have both Asperger's Syndrome and a high IQ, only Asperger's Syndrome, or only a high IQ. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome have a high IQ. Most people with a high IQ do not have Asperger's Syndrome.
