I'm a total hypochondriac. If I don't make the time to exercise, I will simultaneously contract cancer, heart disease and diabetes. And probably have a stroke. Add to that my self image, and I pretty much *have* to run :-)

No, it's because of my autism that my right leg is uncoordinated. When I concentrate on it, it's better.

Interesting - I had no idea ASDs affected coordination to that extent. I've got some lectures on ASD next week, so hopefully then I'll understand better :-)

I think it's very hard to understand, actually.
My parents were very surprised when they saw me soldering very tiny circuits neatly, for instance.

Do you think that Autism offers you any advantage in linguistic learning? I wish I was better at learning languages :-(

AFAIK gross motor functions like walking and fine motor functions like soldering are controlled by different parts of the brain. They are coordinated by the cerebellum, but by physically different parts of it. So perhaps ASDs like Asperger's affect only the part which is responsible for gross motor movements.

One other possibility is the automaticity of the action. Generally walking is an unconscious behaviour (apart from the conscious will to walk from one place to another you don't have to think about putting one foot in front of the other). Soldering on the other hand requires high levels of concentration. You have already said that if you concentrate hard on walking then your motor control improves. So perhaps ASDs affect unconscious, automatic movements more than conscious movements requiring high levels of concentration, and making unconscious movements conscious by concentrating them "bypasses" this effect.

Disclaimer: wild guess and generalisation follows. Speel, please don't take this as an attempt to answer for you or make any claim about you personally :-)


ASDs affect language on many levels, both expressive and receptive. The problem for the autistic language learner is that it can sometimes be difficult to discriminate particular features of language, such as prosody, and also to discriminate what is significant and what is superfluous. However, people with Asperger's typically don't show any significant language delay, so my guess would be that their tendency to be extremely intelligent cancels out any language processing problems.

I don't know what implications this would have for second language acquisition though.

Certainly not, in the worst case of autism, one will never learn to speak. Others learn it later, and often (also in my case) the usage of language is often very odd in construction and choice of words (very 'official').

So would I :-) Perhaps we can get Leirbag to sneak it in to his next set - I believe he does some DJing...

Boney M is great camp, but, like ABBA, maybe a bit too well-known. :-)

Nah, methinks the word "Camp" implies that it has the "What the f*ck am I looking at"-factor, something which doesn't have those classics anymore.
But on the other hand, what's for one person 'classic', is for the other new, so, let's keep each other amazed :-D
And in that case we can add some other:
Earth wind and fire - Let's Groove
Lipps Inc. - Funky Town
