It was compiled by a woman called Megan Hammond - My Life with Asperger's, so all credit goes to her. I am merely relating them as they may well help someone, as they did me.
* Please note that I believe that this list applies to many males also as I recognise lots of my own son in this list.
I asterisked the one about having very deep feelings because for me personally, that has been one of the most painful aspects of having this syndrome. A feeling of complete isolation and an inability to connect that feeling to anything or anyone.
The List - Part 1
- The inability to communciate properly with others.
- Age inappropriate behaviour and actions.
- Quirky little habits, rituals or ritualistic actions.
- Repetitive behaviour, obsessive actions, liking repetitive sounds, music or sequences.
- The inability to adjust to changes in routines.
- Trouble starting new things, without support or direction.
- Loner, aloof behaviour which can impair relating to other people.
- Mostly more comfortable with studying or trying to understand people on television, DVD or through books.
- Can take things too literally.
- The inability to judge people's character properly.
- Obsessive about a few subjects.
- Dramatically overreact to very simple events that don't upset other people.
- A tendency to talk "at" people instead of "to people".
- Can retreat into a private little world when faced with uncomfortable or new situations.
