Asperger syndrome: Another way to understand and "fit" in the world

Asperger syndrome. There are many people who continue to maintain the idea that all those considered "Asperger" are incredible geniuses, bright but misunderstood people who usually take refuge in their shyness, in their few social skills.

This idea is likely to be supported by fame, for example, from Sheldon Cooper, the character of "The Big Bang Theory", or the common belief that geniuses like Albert Einstein or Newton could actually suffer from Asperger's syndrome, however, there is no reliable documentation available to secure this data, and, moreover, having Asperger's syndrome is not synonymous with having a trait.of genius, at all, we must remember that as such, is part of the autistic spectrum .This means that there is a lot of variability from person to person.

There are those who can present a series of very severe deficiencies, and who simply does not discover that he suffers from l Asperger syndrome until past 20 years… Or even never.The life of a person with this syndrome is not easy , the world seems to be built for all those who act spontaneously, outgoing, to who understand the double senses, the irony, but it is not an impediment for many of them to succeed.

But that will depend, as we say, on the broad spectrum in which they are.today, it is said that people like Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, Keanu Reeves, Tim Burton, Dan Aykroyd, Susan Boyle or even Vladimir Putin suffer from it.But, care, in many cases they are only rumors without confirm.

What are the characteristics of autistic people?

As we have already pointed out before, there are many interindividual differences .It is a developmental disorder which sometimes is severe, with serious problems for communication or learning.rgo, as we say, other people reach adulthood perceiving only small "social imbalances", problems of maladjustment that would be justifiable by this type of syndrome.

Asperger syndrome: Another way to understand and

So let's look at its basic characteristics:

Few social skills .Since they are very young, they usually present serious problems in their communication.They do not usually keep their eyes on someone, they do not understand jokes or double meanings Many people with Asperger syndrome do not see language as a communicative purpose, they are not attracted to and prefer to interact with themselves.This is the main problem they usually encounter, which is why it is more difficult for them to “fit” in society.they become more intense in school ages.

Your IQ can of being like that of any person, but often it happens that in many occasions, in the classrooms there are children with high capacities that are not recognized.Moreover, it is believed that they have cognitive deficits.

They usually present repetitive behaviors s.It is very striking for example in childhood, to have fixation with an object, with a sheet, with a toy.

They are disturbed by the lights and the intense sounds.

They are very interested in few things, but what they really like is a passion and stand up as authentic experts.

Many people with the Asperger syndrome have some genius trait. Drawing, art, math … They stand out in a very exclusive area, but sometimes, this makes their lives even more complicated because, as they say, "they have no hairs on their tongues." If they get bored in class they will say so, if someone knows less than they will say it, if someone does not agree with them they will get angry...That is, their poor abilities social make these genius sometimes problematic.

They do not usually have empathy and do not usually understand the emotions of others.

It costs them a lot keep a particularly long conversation , immediately say goodbye.

Many have motor clumsiness , they don't do sports and they tire easily.

They have trouble having friends, but that does not mean at all that they cannot have a partner. On the contrary, many develop a kind of «social orthopedics» that works well for them, hence they use imitations a lot, learn phrases made or recognize when they have to laugh at a phrase or a joke they don't understand.
