RESPONSE by Parker Gabriel, person with AS: The only real danger in living with Asperger's disorder is the possibility that you may not truly focus on your immediate surroundings and thus fail to notice an immediate risk till it is too late, or nearly so. I, personally, once broke a leg as a direct result of that problem.

An Additional Consideration:

Also, because people with AS are more likely than the typical person to have poor motor control (i.e., to be clumsy), they might be more accident prone.

IMPORTANT - Mother of adult daughter with AS:

People with Asperger's are four times more likely to be the victim of crime because they may misread social cues OR make someone angry because they lack social skills OR may be a obsessive on a subject OR lack appropriate facial expressions OR project the innocence and naivety that makes them a target for bullies. That said; my daughter is an unending source of pride and joy and I marvel at her accomplishments and happy attitude.
