Autism, Aspergers, Dyspraxia etc

blu3shad0w · 27 Nov 2011 at 23:53

Hey

There was an interesting article last week about autism etc regarding that it is more likely to affect scientist, and other people. One of those people being those that do IT.

I have Dyspraxia, and I may have Autism as well.

Just wondered if there were any other people on here that had similar conditions...

Cheers

I have an abnormal and irrational fear of giants. My Psychiatrist says I suffer from feefiphobia.

I think it's more likely that people with those conditions will be interested in IT and such due to its very nature (no need to talk to anyone else

).

I've always wondered if I had anything like this, I don't do well with people and get all nervous when in groups... I'm quite ltierally only comfortable when im at my computer in my big comfy chair

I will refrain from my normal response until it is called for.

Darn.....does that mean I have to come back later.....

Well the Dyspaxia is something that I was diagnosed when I was a kid, and a few decades later, I'm finally looking for help for it. Think it might have affected my career in IT.

Not the Technical side, but the soft skills...

Also tbh this is kinda of meant as a serious thread, not a jokey one about giants...

Giants are a serious business.......

Oh, it shouldn't take long

blu3shad0w · 28 Nov 2011 at 00:04

well what is a serious business is having a disability.

I know people whose kids have to go several miles to a different school by taxis since there local school can not handle them.

Also being told that your disability is so bad that your never going to work, not really a joking matter tbh...Well if you think it funny continue with the funny posts..

Apologies......GD is a pretty irreverent place.....no offense is meant, most of the time.

Ditto.

GD is the home for schoolboy, tactless and in-appropriate humour.

Am I the only one who, reading through the thread title, was a bit puzzled that dyspraxia was the third item in that list?

Ceryndrion · 28 Nov 2011 at 01:05

A few years ago I was given a provisional diagnosis of aspergers, it explains a lot about who I am and why I react to situations the way that I do, but at the same time, there's not a great deal that I can do about it, so I try not to let it bother me.
