"I must admit, I know nothing about Asperger's. Can you explain it?"

That question comes to me often, as I explain myself online to various
persons I am trying to find common ground with. Here's what I said in
response to the most recent enquiry.

Asperger's? Processing-speed. Easy-overload. Aghhh!
With a late-life dx at 60, I am still learning about a life-long
condition that involves processing speed that is often slower,
occcasionally faster, than many NTs - NeuroTypicals, the average
normal person, most of whom are impatient with Aspies who have
"executive dysfunction" and who have a tough time making decisions
fast enough for the average person who moves swiftly through daily
decisions that put me into a stall much like when my colorful screen
cursor simply spins and spins.... There are other traits, mostly
involving security in doing things the same way day after day. One
Australian has listed Aspie traits as positives, a way of seeing
talents that are found in explorers and inventors (and social
outcasts, martyrs) through history - and I like to read Tony Attwood's
view of Aspie traits as I struggle to make the best of my own Aspie
hardwiring. Attwood's list is a good one to draw from as an Aspie is
writing a resume or a personal profile.

Care to share here how YOU explain Asperger's to anyone who asks?
