i have aspergas syndrome, so i fins it hard to talk to people, and i find it almost impossible to ask people out (girls on dates that is), hence i spend the majority of my time at home on the internet and have never had a girlfriend despite being 18... wow life is hard
Aww ):
Are their any perks to aspergers? I once read a book about a kid who is really good at maths because of it.
I might be qualified to answer that question.
(Seeing as I, too, have Aspergers syndrome.)
Yes, there are perks to be had. You are far more precise and focused in the work you do take interest in; so anything that comes to interest will be done twice as efficient than normal standards. If said person with Aspergers had an interest for math, he will be twice as good than a normal subject. Triple, even. Not to mention you'll do very, very little mistakes.
Myself, I have taken a great interest in the English language, and I get A's and A+ in said classes without any hard effort behind it. Just comes off natural. Seriously, I just fill in something and BAM! Highest grades.
Downside is, you will have a hard time to socialize.
Imagine doing something you have no experience of, and don't want to do in the first place. That is pretty much the status.
Now, these aren't the
only perks and flaws the syndrome has to offer, but these might just be the only ones worth mentioning in this thread.
PS; Lucky for me, half of me thinks reasonably, while the other goes 'fuck all' and abandons all sense at certain moments,
(despite the syndrome) which led me to my first girlfriend. Would never had happened otherwise.
... I fear I've gotten off point now.
OT; I can think of a huuuuge range of mistakes made in my life due to shyness. And keep re-doing them. But, I cannot seize my actions. Reason stated above. Sssssomewhere among those paragraphs...
