Asperger's Disorder

Some of you might have never heard of "Asperger's Disorder" before. When my Psychology lecturer announced that my group was going to do a presentation on that,my teammates and I were like, "Ass-what-disorder?" So I've done some research online and gathered most of the information I could get for my presentation (this coming Thursday!) and what I came to realize is that Asperger's Disorder is an incurable syndrome. A person suffering from this could be slow in learning, and in other words, "different" from normal people. It doesn't mean that Asperger's patients are retarded. God no! They can talk and act like normal people - it's just that they're not really able to connect 100% with their peers, or their environment. And their disorder basically revolves around their social life. It's kinda sad... but millions of people out there are suffering from this disease. I stumbled upon this video on Youtube about a young lad who has this disorder, and he gives a very detailed description about what Asperger's Disorder is like, and how he feels about it.




I really like about what he said at the end of the video. =)
And he's right about it. Why change the way you're made?
All that just narrowed down to one thing:
Be thankful for who you are.

How many of us really are, anyway?
