Down below is a perfect quote taken from an open blog posted on this site!
"My most pressing issues are concerning all those common sense sort of things that most people seem to take for granted. Yes, I can teach myself to read five different languages and spend 14 hours researching tapeworms but I haven't a clue on how to, say, move out of my house if need be. (I currently live in condo that my father owns, I pay rent for, and may, depending on the whims of his relatively new wife, have to vacate in the future)"
Asperger's syndrome, also called Asperger's disorder, is a type of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). PDDs are a group of conditions that involve delays in the development of many basic skills, most notably the ability to socialize with others, to communicate, and to use imagination. There is a spectrum within the PDD disorders.
========================================
I do not have Aspergers; I have CPTSD and Dissociative disorder that causes the exact same condition in the outside world! The difference is; in time, if I can relax and feel safe, I start to go back to normal! Aspi's cannot; they are stuck for life!
But its the exact same thing! I can play a set of drums; but I cannot deal with the outside world to gain a practice room; its impossible!
I can play the xbox within the apartment! but not take care of the apartment!
Ive had several people check me out! One therapist has an aspi child; and notated the difference between us! and another DR Assistant at a sleep center noted the difference!
But its the exact same results! I cannot function in the real world, I must hide! my mind does not work right! the developmental stuff is shut down!
When I was in my 20's! my verbal and communicative skills shut down! everything shut down!
But its PTSD that causes mine! I may need to look further into this!
