  Well, so Asperger Syndrome, I'm going to start at the top.
• 0:23
  So Asperger Syndrome is not a term that's used anymore.
• 0:26
  Asperger Syndrome was a term that was coined in the 1980s by
• 0:30
  Lana Wing, which reflects the work presented by Hans Asperger
• 0:34
  in 1942. Now this work was predominantly
• 0:37
  used, you know, on young boys to kind of come about the idea of
• 0:41
  autism and and other types of neurological conditions under
• 0:45
  the autism spectrum umbrella. But then in 2013, they realized
• 0:48
  that people diagnosed Asperges were being left off helpless and
• 0:53
  wouldn't be able to get the support and help that they need
• 0:55
  because they didn't have the term autism in a diagnosis.
• 0:58
  So they put Asperger syndrome within the umbrella of autism
• 1:01
  spectrum disorder and the same thing happened until the 19 that
• 1:05
  isdi think is our IDs, which is another kind of diagnostic
• 1:08
  criteria because the first one was the DSM 5 S Moving on, from
• 1:11
  now on, Earth is Asperger Syndrome.
• 1:13
  What does it mean? You might have heard Elon Musk
• 1:14
  talking about it and other people in Alveinstein and all
• 1:17
  stuff. Basically what it means is that
• 1:19
  it's people on the autism spectrum like myself who have
• 1:21
  lower support needs than somebody who may be non verbal
• 1:25
  and unable to use the bottom on their own right.
• 1:28
  So you have with all some spectrum.
• 1:29
  So it goes all the way from like people who can, you know, hold
• 1:32
  on a job and hold verbal conversations like I can, all
• 1:35
  the way to people who will need 24/7 care because they really
• 1:38
  need help with like extreme executive function.
• 1:41
  Now Asperger's syndrome, you know, has been around like this
• 1:43
  has been since the 80s and there's been hundreds and
• 1:45
  hundreds of people diagnosed Asperger's syndrome.
• 1:47
  I myself was diagnosed in 2013, just before they changed the
• 1:50
  nomenclature with Asperger's syndrome, which obviously is
• 1:54
  autism. Now I'm going to leave some
• 1:55
  links down below if you're interested.
• 1:56
  And if you want my autism Y fax PDF book, you can download it at
• 2:00
  autismhacks.net. But the interesting thing about
• 2:03
  Asperger syndrome is common characteristics.
• 2:05
  People with Asperger syndrome will typically have like a
• 2:07
  monotone type of talking voice. They'll be well consistent tone
• 2:10
  and they will deviate that we know inflections on their voice,
• 2:12
  which is interesting and a lot of people say that's kind of
• 2:15
  robotic, but you know, I think it's just comfortable.
• 2:17
  People with Asperger's syndrome will have an obsessive interest
• 2:19
  in something usually quite intellectual, could be something
• 2:22
  like trains to science, to automotive industries.
• 2:26
  And those things become obsessions that they learn
• 2:28
  everything about and they'll become very, very knowledgeable
• 2:30
  in those areas and they'll even become experts in those areas
• 2:32
  and sometimes probably work in those areas.
• 2:34
  Also, people with Asperger's syndrome tend to have little to
• 2:38
  no social life because if I had social interaction very hard,
• 2:40
  including eye contact, and I'd like to be more conservative and
• 2:43
  be home researching, studying and all that kind of stuff.
• 2:46
  Among other things, people with Asperger syndrome typically
• 2:48
  suffer from sensory processing disorder, meaning they're
• 2:50
  susceptible to doing types of stimuli from, you know, third
• 2:54
  party environments like sound and smell and taste and things
• 2:57
  like that. And this obviously impacts their
• 2:58
  ability to want to go out inside and do anything and also impact
• 3:01
  your ability to sleep properly. So they'll probably have a lot
• 3:04
  of sleep properly, which is really, really interesting.
• 3:07
