| 830978 | 2009-11-18 01:23:00 | No, I would say Asperger's Syndrome ------> Autistic like quite a few of the members on this site, just more extremely so. I include myself in that assessment, insight is all, many nerds, geeks, successful people, are on this part of the spectrum/panoply of people. roddy_boy, pot, kettle, black, glass houses, stones, throwing, quick, judge, splinter, plank, eyes. |

| 830980 | 2009-11-18 01:32:00 | "Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported" "Intense preoccupation with a narrow subject.............." "Unlike those with autism, people with AS are not usually withdrawn around others; they approach others, even if awkwardly. For example a person with AS may engage in a one-sided, long-winded speech about a favorite topic, while misunderstanding or not recognizing the listener's feelings or reactions, such as a need for privacy or haste to leave.[8] This social awkwardness has been called "active but odd".[1] This failure to react appropriately to social interaction may appear as disregard for other people's feelings, and may come across as insensitive." I rest my case. en.wikipedia.org |

| 830982 | 2009-11-18 01:40:00 | I rest my case. You don't have a case. Apart from the fact your in no way qualified to diagnose such conditions, It would be the ultimate folly to do so based on forum postings. Its like someone I know given a list of ten behaviours that indicate personality disorders, within a week they were convinced every single person they knew was insane.... |

It differs from other autism by its preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. ] That's an example of the modern trend for labelling everyone and everything with a "syndrome". Bollocks. Some people are nerdy. It doesn't mean they have a medical condition. And Greg - you don't have Aspergers. |

| 830985 | 2009-11-18 04:43:00 | Greg. If I could respond to your response on behalf of Southern Cross: Dear Sir, As stated in the previous e-mail, we require proof of your purchase. If you were to simply state that you could not find your receipt, we would endevour to help you. As is, we simply have to assume that you still have the shaver on you. Well, as the photo from our Private Investigators show, that bulge in your pants cannot be natural. It looks distinctly shaver-like. LOL, best post from you ever.....! |
