It's come to my attention that my father has Aspergers syndrome. The main symptom is severe trouble with social situations.
http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/tc/aspergers-syndrome-symptoms
Here are some of the other symptom:
-- Not pick up on social cues and lack inborn social skills, such as being able to read others' body language, start or maintain a conversation, and take turns talking.
-- Dislike any changes in routines.
-- Appear to lack empathy.
-- Be unable to recognize subtle differences in speech tone, pitch, and accent that alter the meaning of others’ speech. Thus, your child may not understand a joke or may take a sarcastic comment literally. Likewise, his or her speech may be flat and difficult to understand because it lacks tone, pitch, and accent.
-- Have a formal style of speaking that is advanced for his or her age. For example, the child may use the term "beckon" instead of "call," or "return" instead of "come back."
-- Avoid eye contact.
-- Have unusual facial expressions or postures.
-- Be preoccupied with only one or few interests, which he or she may be very knowledgeable about. Many children with Asperger's syndrome are overly interested in parts of a whole or in unusual activities, such as doing intricate jigsaw puzzles, designing houses, drawing highly detailed scenes, or astronomy.
-- Talk a lot, usually about a favorite subject. One-sided conversations are common. Internal thoughts are often verbalized.
Does anyone here have further information or input on this milder variant of Autistic Disorder?
EDIT: For Anything Else
Regards,
Eric
