There is no such thing as "wired" brain. There are just patterns of behavior. Now, I'll admit if someone has fallen into aspergic patterns of behavior then their life is in a bad way but they can get themselves out of it. First is to remember to take criticism without getting all twitchy over it, if their behavioral patters are that bad then others will be the ones that know it better, then they just got to get out and do more until it becomes second nature. They might have to always just let others take the lead, and be content to follow, but they can do it. Jaybie just needs help putting her aspergers behind her and forming more socially adjusted forms of behavior.

Dude. I have done research on this subject.

It's not a 'weird" brain, just one with different wiring. Some brains are differently wired. "Aspergr's and Autism is not a pattern that people just choose to fall into, regardless of what you'd like to think.

People with Asperger's who learn better social skills do not stop having Asperger's, they just know skills to help them cope.

You don't "put your Asperger's/Autism" behind you and become normal. You just learn better skills. Also FYI saying that "most people remain in their Asperger behaviors because they don't bother to better themselves" is bullshit. They take classes, get therapy, and there are some medicines that help Autistic behaviors (though there is no medicine specifically for Asperger's that I know of).

They don't just cure themselves by being "normal" because that's not how it works.

Honestly, it seems like you're holding onto the idea that 'Asperger's is just a thing that people can get over as an excuse to judge them for not "just acting normal".

...pretty sure the latest research is indicating that being in front of screens all the time, without ever going outdoors or interacting with people face to face (including their parents) is what's causing the "epidemic" of autistic spectrum disorders, at least from the blurb I read on ScienceDaily.

In the not-so-distant past, parents actually engaged with their children, as they were developing (from toddler-hood onwards, which is when the "symptoms" begin), including by teaching them appropriate social interactions/cues/etc., either by verbal instruction, or modelling acceptable behaviour. Regardless of how the child's brain is "wired." So, "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" and "Use your words!" used to be common instructions, from parents, to their children. Now? Not so much.

TL;DR: The initial diagnosis in the 1950s wasn't that far off; it's bad parenting syndrome.

"at least from the blurb I read on ScienceDaily"

Fuck off. You're going to use the refrigerator mother hypothesis? Seriously?

Some of the best and most dedicated, caring parents I know have kids with autism. Go fuck yourself.

...No, it's not. There is literally a physical difference in brain development. There are probably false positives, because the diagnosis is behavioral, but there are false positives for pretty much every medical condition in existence.

From a single blurb you glanced at. Fuck off.

A blurb you read? There's quite a lot of research on autism out there. The currently accepted opinion in the scientific community is that it's a disorder of neurotypical development that happens before birth and that it's phenotypic (arising from genetic and environmental interactions).

Why is it that the people who have the loudest most obnoxious opinions are usually the ones who have little to no background on what their opinion is about?
- I know you're probably a troll, but you'd be surprised how endemic this is in real life.
