    Is Asperger's hereditary?

    Wife and I are both aspies (one official, one presumed), and my daughter has it (officially diagnosed). The evidence to support the notion of a genetic factor is there, I believe.

    Can a person with autism be transformed?

    To say "because it is who we are" would be the same as to say it defines us, or at least as an individual we have allowed it to do so. I do not agree with this, rather I think it is simply an aspect of you, a detail about us, like the color of your hair. It doesn't define us, but is another...

    Military

    When I joined the U.S. Army 7 years ago, I did not know I was on the spectrum. Truth is, had I known at the time, they likely would not have let me join, likely citing this piece from the list of disqualifying conditions in the link below: c. Symptoms or behavior of a repeated nature that...

    How is Asperger's syndrome Diagnosed?

    It was on a site called "science daily", they had done a study on the new DSM last year and those were the numbers they found. However I don't know the criteria they used, what you are saying does make a lot of sense though.

    How is Asperger's syndrome Diagnosed?

    Actually from what I have read, roughly 6% of those diagnosed with Asperger's would be diagnosed as SCD under DSM-V, most will fall under ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), you are otherwise on the right track though. I think a lot of people recognize that it is no longer a diagnosis under the DSM...

    Comment by 'A BROUHAHA' in 'Sociopath/Psychopath'

    It reminds me of a conversation I had with someone once (actually less conversing, more like me yelling at them). The individual in question thought they were being clever by using the word autistic interchangeably with retarded. Now while I understand the social standard of using certain labels...

    How is Asperger's syndrome Diagnosed?

    Funny thing, I kind of fell into it on accident. It all started more or less because of a neuro psych evaluation I received because of a completely different set of problems. I received the testing, and upon going back to the doctor for review he pointed out that test in concert with some other...

    Should I apply for exemption from service?

    I'm currently serving in the U.S. Army and have been for the better part of a decade. While I can see where the environment can cause problems for some people, there are many people with autism that have served and continue to do so. It all comes down to you as an individual, while the military...

    Should I get re-diagnosed?

    Assuming that your initial diagnosis was accurate, have you considered the possibility that your current test results are merely a reflection of how well you have adapted to social situations?

    Should I get re-diagnosed?

    Of course, while I think its a good indicator of a potential it is not a known. I was just trying to be funny though [emoji14]

    o_O......your autism seems to be broken......

    Cant accept my diagnosis

    I think a certain degree of denial is normal when confronted with such things. I think an important thing to remember that many seem to forget is that you are the same person you were yesterday. Just because you received a diagnosis does not suddenly change you into a different person, it does...
