Text
Children with Asperger’s syndrome fare far better than those with other pervasive developmental disorders.Although they have the potential to grow into independent adults, they may continue to display symptoms that are characteristic of the syndrome. With consistent and effective treatment, children suffering from AS can learn to cope with their disabilities; nevertheless social interaction and and personal relationships continues to overwhelm them. With continuous encouragement and support,AS adults can handle regular jobs and maintain an independent life. There is lot of research being sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH) regarding Asperger’s Syndrome and the effectiveness of certain treatments on the patients. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies are being done to detect the abnormalities of certain brain parts and to understand how these abnormalities affect brain functioning. Clinical trials to study the impact of certain anti-depressants on the AS patients are also being carried out . |

Posted on: 12/30/2011 Hi, is there such a thing of being "borderline" Aspergers?
I do have a lot of the traits and symptoms of a person with Aspergers, but except for a few and one major one, and that is the fact that I am over emotional. To the point where I can't control them. But everything else seems to fit into my personality and my confusion to everyday situations. Cretin things that I touch hear and drive me out of my mind. I snap uncontrollably at people when cretin things are said to me, like trigger words. I sometimes go into uncontrollable rages if the wrong thing is said, I end up moving objects across the room that take four people to move. But yet I would never touch the person who triggered me, I end up feeling a large amount of my anger is more frustration. Frustration that I don't understand and why don't they understand.
I have never passed a test over shear anxiety, and always seem to be at my worst in these situations. I find bliss in the repetitive. And am not quite social, the few friends I have say I'm weird, or the didn't like me when they met me. But seem to love me as I am quite honest and caring.
I feel like I am odd and there is something wrong with me, and after watching the film Adam. I feel like that's me.
I recently did a test online, and I know they are mostly incorrect. My score inferred that I was on the border, it came down to 2 and I'de be a candidate for Aspergers.
So am I being silly or is it possible?

Posted on: 10/23/2010 Hi Prema, Your question is answered below; Chris and Gisela are consultants on Asperger Syndrome [AS] to the new Fox Searchlight Pictures film "My Name is Khan". Shibani Bathija, who wrote the screenplay for the film, along with director Karan Johar, used their book, as well as interviews with us, as the basis for the film's central character, Rizwan Khan. Rizwan is played by the acclaimed Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan, and the leading lady is Kajol. While on subject, I would like to add that we have been happily living with our AS son for the last 29 years. We would like to form/join a support group in India for persons with AS. |
