So, I was recently diagnosed with Asperger's, and I 愛 psychology, so I'm going to force some medical diagnosis information of all of you!
Asperger's syndrome, also called Asperger's disorder, is a type of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). PDDs are a group of conditions that involve delays in the development of many basic skills, most notably the ability to socialize with others, to communicate, and to use imagination.
Although Asperger's syndrome is similar in some ways to autism -- another, もっと見る severe type of PDD -- there are some important differences. Children with Asperger's syndrome typically function better than do those with autism. In addition, children with Asperger's syndrome generally have normal intelligence and near-normal language development, although they may develop problems communicating as they get older.
Autism and Your Child
Each child with an autism spectrum disorder will have his または her own individual pattern of autism. Sometimes, a child's development is delayed from birth. Other children with autism develop normally before suddenly losing social または language skills. In some children, a loss of language is the impairment. In others, unusual behaviors (like spending hours lining up toys) predominate.
Parents are usually the first to notice something is wrong.
Asperger's syndrome was named for the Austrian doctor, Hans Asperger, who first described the disorder in 1944. However, Asperger's syndrome was not recognized as a unique disorder until much later.
What Are the Symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome?
The symptoms of Asperger's syndrome vary and can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include:
Problems with social skills: Children with Asperger's syndrome generally have difficulty interacting with others and often are awkward in social situations. They generally do not make フレンズ easily. They have difficulty initiating and maintaining conversation.
Eccentric または repetitive behaviors: Children with this condition may develop odd, repetitive movements, such as hand wringing または finger twisting.
Unusual preoccupations または rituals: A child with Asperger's syndrome may develop rituals that he または she refuses to alter, such as getting dressed in a specific order.
Communication difficulties: People with Asperger's syndrome may not make eye contact when speaking with someone. They may have trouble using facial expressions and gestures, and understanding body language. They also tend to have problems understanding language in context.
Limited range of interests: A child with Asperger's syndrome may develop an intense, almost obsessive, interest in a few areas, such as sports schedules, weather, または maps.
Coordination problems: The movements of children with Asperger's syndrome may seem clumsy または awkward.
Skilled または talented: Many children with Asperger's syndrome are exceptionally talented または skilled in a particular area, such as 音楽 または math.

My mom didn't even bother to tell me about getting mail from universities. I had to go through our mail that was sitting on the 表, テーブル and find out what I got. She sayd that she already decided what college to go to. I want to see what other options I have out there first before I make a decission. My mom on the other hand says that's not what I should do. I really want to get my dad involved because I know how much of a help he will be to me but I'm scared of the fights that will happen between my parents if I do tell my dad about what my did and said. I just am so stressed about this that I don't know what to do. My mom has already controlled a lot of my life I don't want her controlling anymore of my life. She already has had control over what I can and can't do. I just want to make my decissions without her having to control them.
