Hello All:
I have a neurological disability called Asperger's Syndrome.
I would like to give you some information about my disability. The
reason I am posting this message about Asperger's is to help avoid any
potential misunderstandings [though it's probably too late].
I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). AS is a
neurological condition that causes significant impairment in social
interactions. People with AS see the world differently and this can
often bring them in conflict with conventional ways of thinking. They
have difficulty in reading body language, and interpreting subtle
cues. In my situation, I have significant difficulty with natural
conversation, reading social cues, and maintaining eye contact. This
can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding about my intent or my
behavior. For example, I may not always know what to say in social
situations, so I may look away or may not say anything. I also may not
always respond quickly when asked direct questions, but if given time
I am able express my ideas.
On Usenet, the text-equivalent of my disability is probably noticed. I
do apologize profusely, for any inconvenience it causes.
Thank you very much in advance for your understanding, cooperation,
and assistance.
Regards,
Radium

Radium,
One way you might start to gain a better relationship with
other USENET readers is by NOT cross posting. When you
cross post to multiple groups you increase the chance that
you will post to an inappropriate forum and annoy its
members.

Many with Asperger's Syndrome have good intelligence. Even if you
experience difficulty with communications, you should still be able
to comprehend basic principles of physics and astronomy. Your posting
record in sci.amateur and sci.physics is a better fit to an attention
seeking troll.

Do you have any opinions on the accuracy of this diagnosis
