Like Bill Gates: It feels like being a stranger in a strange land.  It is very hard to read other people, social interactions are completely confusing. You feel like things have to go a certain way or something bad will happen. You have a driving interest in something,a field or topic, and can lose yourself in it to the exclusion of other things.  You are much smarter than everyone else but can't fit in. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/asperger/detail_asperger.htmhttp://albany.twcnews.com/content/lifestyles/779026/children-with-asperger-s--born-to-stand-out-/

Question 8

i'm wondering why are most of the aspergers symptoms just symptoms of a brat?

Accepted Answer

Simplistic: Nobody knows what asperger's is, but the behaviors that you'll see often trouble these kids. They are often jerks but don't realize it, and find the world baffling and often terrifying. Discipline won't help but guidance and explaining kindly may help. By contrast, the real "brat" is likely to be diagnosed with "oppositional-defiant disorder" & understand the impact of his/her behavior well.
