  Well, so Asperger Syndrome, I'm going to start the top.
• 0:43
  So Asperger syndrome is not a term that's used anymore.
• 0:45
  Asperger syndrome was a term that was coined in the 1980s by
• 0:50
  Lana Wing, which reflects the work presented by Hans Asperger
• 0:53
  in 1942. Now this work was predominantly
• 0:56
  used, you know, on young boys to kind of come about the idea of
• 1:01
  autism and and other types of neurological conditions under
• 1:04
  the autism spectrum umbrella. But then in 2013, they realized
• 1:08
  that people diagnosed Aspergers will get will being left off
• 1:11
  helpless and wouldn't be able to get the support and help that
• 1:14
  they need because they didn't have the term autism in the
• 1:17
  diagnosis. So they put Asperger syndrome
• 1:18
  within the umbrella of autism spectrum disorder and the same
• 1:21
  thing happened until the 19 that Isdi think is our IDs, which is
• 1:26
  another kind of diagnostic criteria because the first one
• 1:29
  was the DSM 5 S Moving on, from now on, Earth is Asperger
• 1:32
  Syndrome. What does it mean?
• 1:33
  You might have heard Elon Musk talking about it and other
• 1:35
  people in Alveinstein and all stuff.
• 1:37
  Basically what it means is that it's people on the autism
• 1:39
  spectrum like myself who have lower support needs than
• 1:43
  somebody who may be non verbal and unable to use the bottom on
• 1:46
  their own right. So you have with all some
• 1:48
  spectrum. So it goes all the way from like
• 1:50
  people who can, you know, hold on a job and hold verbal
• 1:53
  conversations like I can, all the way to people who will need
• 1:55
  24/7 care because they really need help with like extreme
• 1:59
  executive function. Now Asperger's syndrome, you
• 2:02
  know, has been around like it says, we know, since the 80s and
• 2:04
  there's been hundreds and hundreds of people diagnosed
• 2:05
  Asperger's syndrome. I myself was diagnosed in 2013,
• 2:09
  just before they changed the nomenclature with Asperger's
• 2:11
  syndrome, which obviously is autism.
• 2:14
  Now I'm going to leave some links down below if you're
• 2:15
  interested. And if you want my autism Y fax
• 2:18
  PDF book, you can download it at autismhacks.net.
• 2:21
  But the interesting thing about Asperger syndrome is common
• 2:24
  characteristics. People with Asperger syndrome
• 2:26
  will typically have like a monotone type of talking voice.
• 2:28
  They'll be well consistent tone and they will deviate that we
• 2:30
  know inflections on their voice, which is interesting and a lot
• 2:33
  of people say that's kind of robotic, but you know, I think
• 2:35
  it's just comfortable. People with Asperger's syndrome
• 2:37
  will have an obsessive interest in something usually quite
• 2:40
  intellectual, could be something like trains to science, to
• 2:44
  automotive industries. And those things become
• 2:47
  obsessions that they learn everything about and they'll
• 2:48
  become very, very knowledgeable in those areas and they'll even
• 2:51
  become experts in those areas and sometimes probably work in
• 2:53
  those areas. Also, people with Asperger's
• 2:55
  syndrome tend to have little to no social life because if I had
• 2:58
  social interaction very hard, including eye contact, and I'd
• 3:01
  like to be more conservative and be home researching, studying
• 3:04
  and all that kind of stuff and then other things.
• 3:06
  People with Asperger syndrome typically suffer from sensory
• 3:08
  processing disorder, meaning they're susceptible to doing
• 3:11
  types of stimuli from, you know, third party environments like
• 3:15
  sound and smell and taste and things like that.
• 3:17
  And this obviously impacts their ability to want to go out inside
• 3:19
  and do anything and also impact their ability to sleep properly.
• 3:23
  So they'll probably have a lot of sleep properly, which is
• 3:25
  really, really interesting. I think I gave 77 symptoms of
• 3:29
