As someone who is related to multiple people with Aspergers who are all very observant and quick of thought and learnnng, alongside being friends with families who have had multiple generations of Aspergers, I know that Aspergers is not an excuse. Well, it is, but it's not a good one.

Aspergers is only a disability if you let it define you. If you work around it and not use it as an excuse, you can do everything and more that someone without Aspergers can.


 * 1) Trigger. I hate when people use Asperger as an excuse for their behaviour and any difficulties they have, because it isn't. People with Aspergers think differently, yes, but they are just as competent as people without. It's not the Aspergers that makes one slow of learning, only people being allowed to use it as an excuse.
