Aspie = Person with Aspergers Syndrome. It's friendly slang that those with Aspergers Syndrome use to refer to themselves. People without Aspergers Syndrome are referred to as NTs - Neurotypicals.
I don't like to hear about people making fun of someone that is selectively mute. The main problem is that there just is enough awareness about selective mutism and the anxiety that causes it! It is unfortunate, but there will always be people that feel it necessary to make fun of others especially when they don't understand something. The best advice I can give is to concentrate on coping with your anxiety to help you overcome your selective mutism. You can't change the people with the small minds. My advice is to see a Psychologist that is experienced in the filed of selective mutism. If you are in School, perhaps the Psychologist can meet with a Parent and School staff to develop a strategy to help you. Last but not least, consider medication to reduce the anxiety that you feel. You may not be able to change the people around you, but you can certainly work on beating the anxiety which is at the root of your selective mutism.
No.
We face the challenges of intolerant people, disorganization and insomnia.
If Aspergers Syndrome runs in your family, then it is very common. But it is uncommon if it does not run in the mother's side of the family. There are about 1,000,000 Aspergers People in the United Kingdom, I have it so I know.
It's spelled "Aspergers" and yes, they do get depressed.
Yes they can. People with Asperger's shockingly and usu. have a combination such as having Aspergers and OCD, or ADD, depression, anxiety, and Tourettes. In some cases developing schizophrenia can occur.
don't know don't care blabla
It depends on their skills and abilities. People with Aspergers are not limited in many things.
You could talk to a psychologist and tell them the signs of Aspergers that your husband is showing. That way if your husband does have Aspergers he can get medicine for his symptoms, but not all people with Aspergers need medicine
You might have aspergers A doctor would be able to tell you for sure. Are you smart compared to people your age? People with aspergers tend to be smarter than average
It always depends on the people. I have Asperger's and been called sweet, kind and gentle from one person and sadistic, cruel, and creepy by another. Most people view Asperger's with a question mark as it is not well known (Asperger work from Germany translated in English and brought to US in 1994). There are many views for Asperger's and some of them are common and some are strange (to me) .Their funny .Their genius (not true though many Aspies tend to have normal to above normal intelligence) .Their helpful .Their responsible Their neat/clean/organized (Aspie's noramlly do not like change) .A study I read noted that people with Aspergers tend to prefer a goth/emo style of clothing .Not very talkative or extremly talkative (This can be selective mutism)
