Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's, is a developmental disorder characterised by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.[5] As a milder autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it differs from other ASDs by relatively normal language and intelligence.[9] Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and unusual use of language are common.[10][11] Signs usually begin before two years of age and typically last for a person's entire life.[5]
Yeah, such a calculated fraud, isn’t she?!
When I was giving the eulogy at my Mother’s funeral, I was determined not to cry, but as I got towards the end, my attempts to contain the tears while continuing to talk came out as a loud blurt of wailing....without tears! I’m such a fraud! If only I’d had my Mum there to take me “out of the spotlight!”
