Yes it would have to be bad for to be called a disease. A disease is something someone is suffering from, but I don`t know any single autist who is suffering from his/her autism. Only their family members, friends, partners are suffering from their autism, because they cannot understand the inner world of the autist. The autist himself doesn`t suffer. In fact they feel very well. The autist only suffers from the intolerance of the rest of the world but he/she suffers not from the autism.chk071 wrote:So when it's not a disease, what is it then? Does it have to be bad to be able to name it a "disease"? Obviously there's something functioning differently.
As the parent of a college bound young man diagnosed as 'high functioning' Aspergers, while in grade school, I will express my gratitude for your efforts.

Playing around hours for hours with electronic equipement (Synthesizer) seems to be a very "special interest"
No, no I don`t want to say that everybody here is autistic but a couple for sure.
I think you are correct in that those characteristics are often over generalized. My immediate experience, as a parent, differs from yours in that I've not had to cope with delinquency, but I'm very much aware of those who have.masterhiggins wrote:As someone with Asperger's syndrome who's met a lot of other Aspies in group meetings ...those characteristics are greatly misrepresented. There are almost as many variations as there are people. Some are chronic liars. Some have criminal records. Most of them in the group were considered ah*les by their partners because of an inability to reciprocate with others. TV likes to portray Aspies like they're all honest savant super geniuses (criminal minds, Mozart and the whale). In reality most people don't like them. Is it unfair? Absolutely. However, I agree that it's not a disease. It's just being different.
It is not a disease. It is a configuration. Disease is a totally different classification of human ailment. You should look up the definitions of "disease", "disorder", and "syndrome".chk071 wrote:So when it's not a disease, what is it then? Does it have to be bad to be able to name it a "disease"?

This may apply to you and i but it does not apply to all persons on the spectrum. i know of several parents with children that are very low-functioning. It might be comorbid intellectual disability, or just problems regulating their own impulses and learning how to do the things an individual needs to learn in order to become a functional individual. Whatever it is, they struggle to deal with other human beings and it does indeed seem very painful. If they could just be by themselves (some want to, some don't), doing whatever it is that they enjoy, they might feel less distress, but they wouldn't be able to care for their practical needs. Indeed, there is suffering out there. It's not the norm, though, and it is certainly over-presented in the media.Mojo42 wrote:The autist himself doesn`t suffer. In fact they feel very well.
