We all know it's not a real disorder. Periods of prolonged isolation result in indistinguishable results

Indistinguishable from what?

Aspergers. What else

Anything else. Your post doesn't make it clear at all.

Anon B is making the claim that periods of prolonged isolation produce similar results to Asperger's syndrome.
Aside from providing a credible source, what clarification is needed?

My theory is a little different. I wouldn't say periods of isolation. I'd say it's prolonged computer usage.

Then why don't office workers all have aspergers?

Isn't Aspergers just a form of Autism?

It's on the autistic spectrum, so I suppose so.

So, why would he think that only isolation causes this?

I'm referring to people that use computers in place of, or significantly more than, in real life socialisation.

I remember reading a study which showed that people who spent more time socialising on the Internet also have a marked increase in face-to-face socialisation than people who spend less time socialising on the Internet.

Aspergers is becoming a cop out and an excuse for people. Having no social skills is your fault.

I'm not really interested in listening to someone who just makes up blatant lies with zero proof. It doesn't really help that you are a DM asslicker. Look at you, your eyes have turned completely brown.

pretty much, though it's used just as often as an insult.

psychopath has a point though. I don't use my ADD as an excuse for my problems at school, or my Anxiety/OCD for my weirdness. Even though they're related I just deal with it.

Suck it up, buttercup.

Sorry, I will only vote for Ron Paul.

I don't see a Ron Paul option on your poll, therefore i will abstain from voting in your poll.
