		<description><![CDATA[Many people who have Asperger's Syndrome, that I work with as a Life Coach, often report to me that the central thing they hear most often about Asperger's Syndrome is how it can't be changed. It's in the hard-wiring and it isn't going anywhere. While it is true that one cannot get rid of Asperger's Syndrome (AS) an that it isn't "going anywhere" does it naturally follow logically then that there is something beneficial to be derived from such strong focus on an inability to change?

		<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.

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[The American Psychiatric Association wants to include what is currently known as Asperger's Syndrome in the same category or classification as autism and other pervasive developmental disorders (PDD's). As a person with Asperger's Syndrome I felt confused and angry when first this out. How in the world can this make any sense? While Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is on the autistic spectrum, there are vast, notable and important, differences between AS, classic autism, other PDD's, and even autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). What do you think?
