		<description><![CDATA[Almost every definition I've ever read about Asperger's Syndrome lists among the traits and/or characteristics attributed to those with it as not being able to feel empathy for others - as not having empathy for others. I have Asperger's Syndrome. I have tremendous capacity for empathy for others. I have continued to increase my ability to express that empathy. Do Aspies really lack empathy or is it felt, experienced, and expressed differently? Perhaps in ways that neurotypicals (NT's) do not recognize as empathy or do not experience as being the way they expect to be given empathy.

		<description><![CDATA[This is an up-date to the article I wrote in 2005 entitled, "The Pardox of Social Impairment and Profound Social Disconnectedness"

2010 Up-date

It's now been five years since I wrote the above article, orginally posted on my website. I am in the process of moving those articles over here to this blog.

I have learned even so much more in the last five years. The paradox of it all, however, continues to be an important and palable one. Why? Simply because the more I learn about certain aspects of neurotypcial socialization - which is itself somewhat of a continuum - the more I also continue to maintain some levels of still not getting it, exactly.

		<description><![CDATA[There is an inherent and burdening paradox within the reality of being an adult with Asperger’s Syndrome. Central to the most devastatingly-challenging reality of Asperger’s Syndrome is its synergistic social impairment intrinsic to or juxtaposed to a profound social disconnectedness.

		<description><![CDATA[Asperger's Syndrome is a journey within the over-all journey of life. For those of us diagnosed as adults the journey may have a few added challenges to it. Life is a journey, not a destination. Within this journey there are as many paths that lead to connecting points, junctures of mutual understanding, as there are people living lives. This applies whether you have Asperger’s Syndrome or whether you are a neurotypcial (NT). So, you see, we do have something in common after all. There are many different paths and individual differences among those diagnosed with Asperger's as well. I believe that along with these individual and personal differences are interwoven the many distinctive ways that AS manifests or is evident in males and females.
