24 Answers
What are your experiences with people with asperger?
Plus it's to do with genetics so is it only passed on through the family or can it just randomly pop-up in a baby, from a family with no history of it?
thanks.
ps, this isn't for biology homework if you're wondering.

There are many levels of Asperger syndrome Molly. Some children can barely communicate when they have it, others just struggle to do so but can 'learn' how to.
My son went to primary school with another boy with it and the other boy was far, far more affected. He was considered low functioning, my son is high functioning.
My son is actually very bright academically (top sets for all subjects) but really struggles in social situations, he only has 2 friends and much prefers his own company.

Most network managers that I have dealt with are definitely Aspergers (soz, AB Ed - not you) , and I think there is something about the IT environment that suits the mindset ie literal, not emotional, dealing with situations as systems rather than 'reading' them, resisting change.
I am probably being unfair.

not a fan of these threads because they tend to go round and around!
here is a link to a useful site that will give you information about aspergers, not all people with aspergers display the same symptoms, its a bit of a myth that all people with aspergers have no sense of humour although most tend to fall in line of the general symptoms list.
