I have for several years worked with youth that have asperges/autism. And they vary from a very low iq to extremely high.
It is also very common for persons with autism to have ocd, tourettes or add/adhd.
I think a part of the feeling that they are mature may be because they have trouble understanding irony and jokes that a lot of people tend to use (and that often make people seem more childish).
Several of the kids i worked with are just like their friends; interested in sex and how to get a girlfriend 😉

How can you stand working with those 'things'? They are a blight on humanity
-
Nice b8 m8.
-
Not b8. I honestly believe this. They are not "he"s or "she"s because they are not people, they are things. And they, along with anyone with any other syndrome of the sort are a blight on humanity
-
In that case it says more about you. What about introverted or highly sensitive people? It's not a syndrome but a trait. And many with these traits get mistaken for being autistic.

I can tell the difference... Very easily

Right... And how old are you?

REKT:CHECK

That last part tho... :) As said above, i have aspergers myself. But im still both the adult and clown in the class :P. And i really dont mind have my diagnose, since it have helped me become who i am, and im so fu*king happy for that.

I find it awesome to work with these kids/youths. They see things different because they don't get affected too easily from norms that the rest of us are bound to. I still remember a 13-15 year old (worked with him for 3 years) that had severe adhd, tourettes and ocd - together with his aspergers. He really struggled a lot in class and felt misunderstood - and ended up being a really great guy. I still, today, miss him a lot. He was awesome. And learned me so much about things we don't always see. I will do some studying the next years and then i hope to continue in the same job i had 😉

See, this is what i like about poeple like you: You see them for the person they are, not the diagnose. And that is very rare among people, sadly. What i mean is, when you now are talking to me, reading this, you dont look at it and say "ewh, thats a guy with arpergers, get away from him"...you see their thoughts and personality. This something that really bothers me with this whole subject, cause alot of people see it that way. They see my diagnose, not ME.
-
I always see the persons for who they are, if they give me the chance. That's why i work with people. 😊

A friend of mine has autism, anxiety and ADHD. Now that gotta be crap to have
-
Yes, he probably does struggle a lot. I see everyone as an asset, but some just need a little help to see it for them selves. 😊
