Furthermore I believe that if I educate myself more on how someone with Asperger's reacts in a social situation, I can be more informed if I encounter someone with this disorder.]]> 2018-05-23 22:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263179305 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263180105 According to Tony Attwood, “From early childhood, people with Asperger’s syndrome are less likely to recognize and understand thoughts, beliefs, desires and intentions of other people in order to make sense of their behavior.” This can lead to difficulties in cultivating empathy, trust, and repairing emotions. ]]> 2018-05-23 22:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263180105 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263180166 People with Asperger's still have these emotions and are kind people, but portraying them externally is challenging. Therefore it can be hard for someone with Asperger's to understand and respect a person's wants and desires.  ]]> 2018-05-23 22:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263180166 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263180563 Since children are vulnerable to misinformation from their peers, there is a possibility that they will develop false perceptions of relationships and sexual behavior from them. ]]> 2018-05-23 22:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263180563 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263180629 It can be tough for someone with Asperger's to express love and understanding when it comes to how another person may want to perceive that love. In some people on the Asperger spectrum, affection can be unpleasant, and a hug can be overwhelming and restrictive. ]]> 2018-05-23 22:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263180629 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263181849 Since people with Asperger's don't always pick up on social cues, they don't realize when their actions might be deemed as rude. For example a person with Asperger's might find it helpful to interrupt a president of a company and correct them, but the president may find it inappropriate. ]]> 2018-05-23 22:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263181849 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263182068 This interpersonal style of communicating where one doesn't always use eye contact and can be blunt can attract negative reactions from "neurotypicals". However many people with Asperger's are quite intelligent and achieve many successes in the workplace. ]]> 2018-05-23 22:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263182068 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263187077 According to antioch.edu, since only about 7% of communication is shown through words and 93% is portrayed through non-verbal actions, like body movement, facial expression, and tone, people with Asperger's have to learn these non-verbal actions in an intellectual way instead of doing it seamlessly at a young age. ]]> 2018-05-23 23:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263187077 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263187358 Many people with Asperger's see the social world as a "foreign culture" where they are forced to navigate through many obstacles during every social encounter. ]]> 2018-05-23 23:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263187358 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263187937 This video gives an inside look into how someone with Asperger's uses their disorder as a way to express their self.

It's hard for them to understand figures of speech, like hyperbole and metaphor, as they tend to take many things literally. Adults are generally good at organizing grammatically correct phrases and sentences, but the meaning behind them might be lost. ]]> 2018-05-23 23:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263188530 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263188966 Complex and long sentences with many instructions can be quite challenging for someone with Asperger's to grasp. ]]> 2018-05-23 23:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263188966 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263189194 People with Asperger's struggle in putting themselves in someone else's shoes and being able to anticipate what they are thinking and feeling. ]]> 2018-05-23 23:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263189194 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263190226 People with Asperger's interact differently than people that have autism because they have a greater desire to communicate and be understood. ]]> 2018-05-23 23:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263190226 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263207959 People with Asperger's struggle with picking up on social cues and find it difficult to make sense of what they see and hear, which can cause them to come off as insensitive and pushy. ]]> 2018-05-24 01:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263207959 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263208233 Many people with Asperger's want to create friendships but since it's challenging for them to do so, it creates a lack of understanding between the two people. ]]> 2018-05-24 01:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263208233 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263208534 Someone with Asperger's might be able to understand the formulaic ways of interacting with someone else, but they struggle with acting on these intentions in a spontaneous way. ]]> 2018-05-24 01:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263208534 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263208822 According to the iancommunity.org when younger kids with Asperger's were placed into public situations starting as early as pre-school, the social disparities started to become apparent. ]]> 2018-05-24 01:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263208822 175581 https://padlet.com/175581/wcv8qior4a6n/wish/263209219 People with Asperger's don't lack empathy.
