Here I explain autism and aspergers as being separate disabilities that can be identified by functioning level and when functioning level is unable to be used to tell the difference look to history and or IQ test information.
Looking to find Aspergers And Autism Dating Sites? There are many sites that cater to you if you are a Aspie or you have Autism. And one of the best ways to get your dating experience started is by finding dating sites that have chat.
Since a predominant characteristic of Asperger syndrome is impaired social interaction (ninds.nih.gov/disorders/asperger/detail_asperger.htm), many people with Asperger syndrome have difficulty reading the social intent of others.
Person to person interaction for a person with Aspergers may find it difficult in communicating when it comes to finding a dating partner. This is when chat comes into play because when first meeting a dating partner, many of us are usually nervous. And by getting to know your potential date through chat communication at a dating site, this will make communicating so much easier for a Aspie or one with Autism.
Another, you will find many people with Autism who are into the orderly world of computers (wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aspergers_pr.html). The computer world is predictable because if you use a particular command, you will get the same results all the time. Unlike the human world, the computer world is also unambiguous. Computers are built on circuits that are either on or off, not somewhere in between. So, since communication with other people could be stressful, using the computer can be a comfortable means for a Aspie or one with Autism. The computer seems to be a logical way for some people with a disability to approach the world of dating. The chat feature really makes it extremely easy to communicate.
The beauty of this is chat room communication involves written communication and there are two advantages of this for people with Aspergers or Autism. One is that written communication is equally ambiguous for all people. That is why emoticons were developed. Written communication is easier to understand because it doesn’t have the confusing body language attached to it.
A second advantage of written communication through chat for those who want to date is that there is a time delay in communication so a person can consider what the other person means.Also, it is possible to edit one’s own communication before hitting the send button. And with these chat features, the delays give a person an opportunity to consider several possible interpretations of what the other person is saying and also the things he or she is thinking about saying. What a tremendous help chat is for a Aspie or one with Autism.
So in short using a chat room for many disabled dating singles is a great way for people to get to know one another’s personalities and interests without the “visuals”getting in the way or the pressure of carrying on a speech-based conversation.
Chat is a wonderful thing for a Aspie and one with Autism. So if you are thinking about dating and you are looking to sign up at a dating site, just make sure that the chat there is awesome. You have so many dating sites to choose on the Internet to get started. Don’t wait too long. Here’s one of many Aspergers and Autism Dating Sites on the net. Enjoy.

where do we find these test? can they be found online?
JeanneSnell, I know many with autism who are “recovered” or typical. Some I helped and some who others helped. I know some famous names in autism personally, but I know some not so well known who deserve recognition because they are amazing.
I agree with you that Aspergers should not even be on the spectrum of autism.
You can test I.Q. at three years old and get a range of 70 to 160 which is mainly based on the number of words they were exposed to in their infancy.
SepherStar, Some do some don’t. Some with Aspergers can regulate situations for others like a girlfriend to keep them calm. I haven’t seen a person with HFA do that.
I helped a lot of mute children with autism learn to talk and go to regular education, honors classes, make friends, choose for themselves to get baptized at their local church, and be able to talk over the phone with me and extended family without supports for over a half-hour.
I don’t regret it and never will. You on the other hand assume a lot. You know what they say about what it makes you with that BUTT. For you it is big and full of hot air. I’m glad I don’t have to smell it.
I don’t really offer much help to those with Aspergers except in a few instances. I focus on autism. Enjoy the video. I’m not working with you. I’m offering information to people as to what are differences in two populations.
Care to make a point that you want others to know about relative to the two populations? Go for it.
Some conditioning may cause ADHD or ADD or LD or OCD, but autism and Aspergers are likely genetic mutation or deletions in the DNA prior to birth.
Dr Tee, you are probably right. I am telling you about what I have read along with my personal experience with people from both populations.
Serge165, if you have the label of Aspergers someone determined at some time that you have a disability. Be proud or don’t be proud. If you want a better world or better interactions you may have to work on it since you are disabled in that realm.
Your attitude can make a difference. Skills learned matter too.
Thank you for posting this, as I don’t necessarily agree with 100% of this information,I have only posted on maybe 5 other youtube posts in my life and I so very much agree that,
in general, people just don’t know about how different these 2 disorders are,I just had to put my 2 cents in… Additionally, it can be frustrating (being a parent of a 13 yr old autistic son) that some, with only a little knowlege of aspergers syndrome thinks that my son is extremely low functioning, because he doesn’t interact socially, he does use language, most is rehearsed,but can interact on a very different level…
(however does demonstrate extreme echolalia)
I honestly think apergers should be categorized seperately and off of the autism spectrum. There are a lot of metal and physical disabilities affecting millions of people.. and just because some share common traits, doesn’t mean that they are the same. At the same time, (though I still try) I haven’t yet found anyone that has been diagnosed with Autism…. NOT Aspergers, that can conversate in any way that’s not “rehearsed”
or by extremely modifying questions of them, are able to answer anything but yes/no or multiple choice.. If I found this and seen if for myself, it would make me hope more for the future, istead of being scared of it…And I don’t mean to offend anyone by this post,I’m stating my opinions only,through my experience, as a mother, not a doctor.
this IQ test you speak of can you test children at the age of 4 and 6?
Most of those I have known with HFA who have acquired language still present with notable difficulty in using it. For example they tend to draw out their words or have significantly poor control over inflection.
(part 3)
I believe the chart on the DANDA site is much more helpful as I have traits from several areas but not enough from any one area afaik to diagnose.
One day in the future you will look back on these treatments and realise how emotionally damaging they have been. There are no long term scientific studies that show the emotional outcome for adults who have been subject to these practices.
This is an unproven scientific experiment on many innocent people’s lives.
You have been advised.
(part 2)
Not that I would want your type of behavioural / manipulative / invalidating / soul destroying type of help.
I believe I have some form of neurodiversity but I don’t fit into your neat categories as I am a human being first, a label never.
If left to be myself I would be fine but in my 58 years I have had so many social problems as a result of neurotypicals wanting to alter me to their idea of ‘normal’ that my sense of self worth has been damaged…. (contd)
All these ‘diagnoses’ are really just assumptions by groups of researcers and intellectuals who find it convenient for their purposes.
No biological source has been found and my theory is that it’s a group of brain differences which can be found in any combination in the same way that any individual has many different personality traits.
People who have differences that don’t fit your arbitrary patterns can be disadvantaged but denied recognition or help and feel outcast from society. (contd)
You are correct when you say that language is a defining variable in determing the diagnosis between Asperger’s and Autism. However, a complete evaluation that includes observation, intelligence, psychosocial history, functional assessment as well as using instruments that were constructed specifically geared toward determining Asperger’s should be done. Looking at only one thing or the other is not a good predictor to the disorder.
I have a question – why am I considered disabled because I don’t think like the majority of the hypocrites that live in this country? and another — why in the clusterF*ck doese it matter whether I”m social or not….
