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.
Are there any drawings by children with Asperger's Syndrome?
Yes, there is art created by people with Asperger's Syndrome. Sometimes, displays of art by people with autism include art by people with Asperger's Syndrome. Some links to art created by people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome are given below.
Do people with Asperger's Syndrome also suffer from face blindness?
Some, but not all, people with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) suffer from face blindness (prosopagnosia), a condition in which they have difficulty with facial recognition. It is one of the conditions known to occur occasionally with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Some people with AS have traits that seem similar to face blindness but is not. A person with Asperger's Syndrome who avoids looking at people will have difficulty identifying them by face. A person with Asperger's Syndrome might only look at a person's mouth and not other parts of the face.
Can people with hypotonia have Asperger's Syndrome?
Hypotonia is a term describing the condition of decreased muscle tone, also known as floppy infant syndrome. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome or autism have hypotonia. It is common for people with Asperger's Syndrome and autism to have some motor control or muscular difficulties, but not necessarily hypotonia. There are many conditions that can co-occur with hypotonia, such as Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral palsy.
Is Asperger's syndrome more adverse than autism?
no.A:Some people describe Asperger's Syndrome as a mild form of autism. This is inaccurate. Asperger's Syndrome and autism can be equally severe or equally mild. There is a range from mild to severe of each.It is labeled as autism if the child has mental retardation, whereas Asperger's Syndrome is associated with average or above average intelligence. But, when people recognize that a person is retarded, they have different expectations, so certain situations can be more difficult for a person with Asperger's Syndrome because other people expect more, not understanding their difficulties.The diagnostic criteria of both are very similar. It might be labeled as autism if the child has difficulties that are recognized at a young age, but in later years, it could be rediagnosed as Asperger's Syndrome.Asperger's Syndrome is sometimes called high-functioning autism, which means they are apparently better able to function in society. However, some people who have Asperger's Syndrome cannot function in society. Similarly, some people with autism can function in society. Because people with Asperger's Syndrome tend to have higher intelligence, they can find ways to compensate for some of their difficulties, but that can result in more stress than a person with autism (or Asperger's Syndrome) who avoids the situations causing those difficulties entirely.Some people who have worked with children with autism and Asperger's Syndrome have speculated that they are differences. One possible difference is that children with autism have better motor control, and thus are better at sports and physical activities, whereas children with Asperger's Syndrome have poor motor control (clumsiness). Another possible difference is that children with autism do not care whether they have friends, but children with Asperger's Syndrome want friends but are unable to develop friendships, so they feel more depressed about that.In summary, there are differences, but they are probably equally adverse. You could find some people with autism who have cases that are more adverse than some people with Asperger's Syndrome, but you could also find some people with Asperger's Syndrome who have cases that are more adverse than some people with autism.
Can some with Asperger's Syndrome have OCD?
Yes.
Can a person with Asperger's syndrome pursue professional careers?
Of course, having Asperger's syndrome doesn't mean that people with it can't pursue professional careers. If anything, it might give an advantage. Here are some famous people in professional careers who have Asperger's syndrome: Susan Boyle, Bill Gates, Temple Grandin, Daryl Hannah and Dan Aykroyd.There has even been speculations/suspicions of people like Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln to have/had Asperger's syndrome. There are a lot of top highly intellectual people out their who do have Asperger's syndrome. Not all of them are but some are.
Could someone with Asperger's Syndrome fall in love?
Yes.Two of my co-workers, both of whom had Asperger's Syndrome, fell in love with each other and were married. The movie Mozart and the Whale is a fictional story based on the true story of two people with Asperger's Syndrome who fell in love.There are books sharing personal accounts of spouses of people with Asperger's Syndrome. Some of the problems and situations described by Maxine C. Aston in The Other Half of Asperger Syndrome: A Guide to Living in an Intimate Relationship with a Partner Who Has Asperger Syndrome are common in romantic relationships with people with Asperger's Syndrome. Ashley Stanford in Asperger Syndrome and Long-Term Relationships writes about her experiences being married to a man with Asperger's Syndrome.There are also support groups for family and spouses of people with 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!
Would you diagnose the WKRP in Cincinnati character of Les Nessman as having Asperger's Syndrome?
In my opinion, having known some people with Asperger's, I would say that he does not have it.
What actors have Asperger's Syndrome?
I don't know too many but guranteed muscians with Asperger's are Micheal Jackson and Ludwing van Beethoven. I think Serj Tankian from System of a Down shows some signs of it (great style of his music, excellent poet, etc.)Comment:Michael Jackson was never diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Ludwig van Beethoven lived before Asperger's Syndrome was recognized as a condition, so we do not know if he had it, although some people speculate that he did. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome are exceptional at music, while other are not. Musical talent does not indicate Asperger's Syndrome.
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.
