I've done that too. It's weird.

Staring isn't a part of Autism or Asperger's. It's a part of being human. Then again, if it is one of a person's intrests, than it might be connected to it.

Yeah, autistic people usually have a passion, like video games for Scotty, and that's about all they care about.

No, they can like other things, but it would take a gradual allowment into an Asperger's schedule. It helps if the thing is somehow connected to an existing interest. I should know, having to change my schedule because of a change.

Yeah, I've experienced that many times with Scotty..do you know of any way I can help teach him to ride a bike? He just won't try...I can't really think of a way to connect it to games or chess either..

Well, there is a very low chance you could. But, I have heard that there are adult-size tricycles, not demeaning in any way, that could fix the problem. That is my only advice.

So THAT'S who Scotty is. I was thinking he was your brother or something.

Nah, my brother wouldn't live a few houses down from me. ;)

Hmm...It would help him get to Wal Mart to shop for games and stuff faster, plus he's been promised fifty bucks if he learns to ride one, which is practically a game. (I get a hundred ;D)

Shika, your cousin sounds a lot like me. If no one's noticed (I doubt that :P ), I, too, am a very avid video game player, and a lot of the stuff I know is from video games and stuff that I expose myself to. I sometimes try to put those things in context with what people are talking about (word of advice: DON'T DO THAT; BAD IDEA).

And JQ, I may have said that I had it because my mom's absolutely convinced that I had it after knowing me for my seventeen years of being alive. Even if I don't get a diagnosis for it (I've still to take an official test for one ??? ), my mom's still going to think that I have it because of my past behaviors and the behaviors I still have.

For those of you thinking that Asperger's is a bad thing, it's actually a trade-off. Of course, it's one that we have no choice but to accept, but it's still a trade-off. The positive sides are we're very passionate about what we obsess over, giving us a very good chance at succeeding in a career field in said things we obsess over. The bad side...well, as JQ also mentioned, many of us are antisocial, and I'm one of those. Because of that, it's considerably harder to make friends and get into relationships. I truly HATE that about me, but I have to live with it. Maybe things will start to change after a while. ^_^

Yeah, Scotty despises intimacy, won't even think of liking a girl...then again, his stepmom kinda drilled that into him...Anyways, he doesn't make many friends, but when he does, he has no problem talking with them.

Understandable. We Aspies (I'll just assume I'm an Aspie because of my personality setup and by my mom being convinced that I have it) are comfortable with what we're familiar with. With friends, we know what they're like, so we're more at ease with them. With strangers, it's the other way around unless we really try to keep our cool.

As MagmarFire said, it is a trade-off. Both are true, but there is one thing that can be added: Name calling. After telling some people about my condition, I got surrounded by the names "Assburgers" and "Assperverts". As you can guess, both were extremely annoying. But, as I said, it can be avoided. And, Shikamaru, the intamacy thing is a problem, but if a person can find a girl that shares the person's intrests, then it can be fixed.
