Thanks for the input ramsea. Here's an amateur video by Aut TV on the different types of Asperger's syndrome that seems to outline many of the things you have said yourself:

>are many different types of learning ability and disability--the general public just sees it in a very black and white way, when the mind is far more complicated. many people have some degree of learning disability but just don't see it that way--it doesn't seem to matter. autistic people/people with asperger's vary greatly in their abilities and often learning difficuties.
I agree. Is it possible for someone on the autistic spectrum to be good at recognising facial expression if they have studied it closely? I remember doing tests like that before at school. We had a special teacher who came into school and took a few of us to do tests and strange games. Naming faces and sorting shapes were part of the games we played. Now I'm wondering if I had been diagnosed or suspected of having some deficit afterall? Why else would they be putting me through those classes?
>but some of us adapt amazingly well, and learn how to act social so well, our act is better than a normal person's behaviour. but that can be very tiring.
It is tiring up keep up the act when we are relying mostly on logic - intuition takes less effort. Are you diagnosed with Asperger's yourself ramsea?
