m lists characteristics TYPICAL (not diagnostic) for Aspies.
-------------------
The Cambridge Lifespan Asperger Syndrome Service(CLASS),
an organization in the United Kingdom that works with adult (age
18 or older) Asperger's patients has developed a simple ten
question checklist to help identify those individuals who fit the
common characteristics of Asperger's patients.
* I find social situations confusing.
* I find it hard to make small talk.
* I did not enjoy imaginative story-writing at school.
* I am good at picking up details and facts.
* I find it hard to work out what other people are thinking and
feeling.
* I can focus on certain things for very long periods.
* People often say I was rude even when this was not intended.
* I have unusually strong, narrow interests.
* I do certain things in an inflexible, repetitive way.
* I have always had difficulty making friends.
Does meeting all of these descriptions mean that the individual
has ... Asperger's Syndrome? No, it simply means that s/he
shares characteristics with others who are classified as
Asperger's patients.
