but generally Aspergers is considered less debilitating, less
of an "illness" and more of a "trait".

For personal reasons totally unrelated to aviation or the Eunuch, could
you
point me to a reference describing Aspergers as a trait rather than an
illness?

Many Thanks.

I've been having this discussion with my wife since my son was 'diagnosed'.


It's one of those "spectrum" disorders, in which the degree makes all the
difference. Many are high-level, high acheivers. . . In other cases, living
with a family member can be a real challenge . . .

It's one of those imaginary disorders, in which people claim that anyone
different from themselves has an "illness."

Many are high-level, high acheivers ...

In other words, there's nothing wrong with them.

There's something wrong with you - you know it, and you desperately need help.

I heard something else in the last day or two that got me thinking.

In addition to all of his other problems, I think I know what one of his
largest problems is, that explain his behavior on the internet.

He is addicted to attention. Positive, negative; it makes no difference.
Attention is what he craves, and must have it, above anything else in his
life. Just like drugs, he will get it, one way or the other.

So there it is; another thing to add onto his list of problems. Addictive
personality disorder.

This one fits too well to not be true.

My girl friend's 15 year old daughter is like that.
She needs LOTS of entertainment too.

Nearly impossible to have a non-drama day.

This seems to be more a part of the normal, for today's youth.

Think of it, when you were young. If there was not anything on TV while you
were at home, (good chance that there wasn't, with the selection of perhaps
5 channels if you lived near a big city) what did you do to pass the time?
You probably entertained yourself. Things I did were to ride a bike around
the neighborhood, dig another extension to my tunnels out in the woods,
build a blanket fort (smaller years) read a book, tear something apart and
put it back together again, (the last part was optional g) play with your
toys, go roller skating, ....... and the list goes on.

Now most things for the kids to do involve something or someone to entertain
them, with possibly hundreds of TV channels, music videos, video games,
internet (IM your friends) surf the internet, and so on. What do all or
most of the things today involve? Something or someone to ENTERTAIN
.....THEM! It also follows for teaching. We have to keep their attention by
entertaining them, for them to even begin considering learning something.

Not saying that this isn't true with your situation, since I don't know her,
but that is somewhat a state of being for a 15 year old, especially the
girls, I think.

*Especially* the part about the drama! g

Funny, I see it just about the opposite - with a much greater risk of kids
becoming isolated today because of their technology. Not only are some of them
playing video games 16 hours a day, but even their friends are virtual chat
partners. Many parents would like to have more contact with their kids, do
stuff together. . .

Torture small animals, set fire to stuff. find out what happend when you
hit a .22 shell with a hammer, try to run your dad's car on MEK. Try to
run your dog on MEK. Find out why it says "do not puncture or incinerate
" on a can of blue spray paint. Work out time speed distance
calculations on the overpass at your local freeway....


Good clean fun!

Maybe - maybe not that simple.
Attention craving, certainly, but addictive, not necessarily.
I bet he doesn't play the lottery obsessively, or the horses.
But I'll also bet he doesn't have an abundance of friends dropping in.
It's more related to an inability to establish intimacy - something that went
wrong in that department a long time ago - It will take a long time to get to
the bottom of it, and a long time to get back out, but it is possible to work
through it. . .
