Can people with Asperger's Syndrome be creative?!


Question: Can people with Asperger's Syndrome be creative?
I am 18 and was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at 12. I have met a few other people with the same thing as me, but they never had a creative imagination like I do. They were either into video games or cars. I have a very good creative imagination. I write the lyrics to my own songs and also create the guitar, bass and drum parts. I'm also very good at writing screenplays and stories. When I was in school, teachers used to be shocked that I could come up with these science fiction plots I created in my note book. This was probably because I am not the brightest when it comes to school. I am not being big headed, but I think I was the most creative in my school when it came to imagination or music. If I never had this syndrome, I don't think I would be this creative. I wouldn't be who I am. I was wondering that can people with Asperger's Syndrome be creative when it comes to things like that?

Answers:

Many people with aspergers and other forms of autism are very creative - they often have increased sensitivity to visual and auditory stimuli, enhanced perception, and an extreme ability to focus on specific interests or goals, which must all contribute. If you look into it you'll see that many famous artists, musicians, authors and others had some degree of aspergers or autism (and many from history are now believed to have had it).

Asperger's Syndrome may be a milder form of Autism.
The symptoms vary between children and is dependant on the environmental conditions of the child, the triggers and stressors as well as the level of support available to the child.

Age of presentation: Aspergers syndrome generally becomes apparent during the preschool years when the child begins to interact with other children.

Autism and Aspergers Syndrome: Researchers believe it is a milder form of Autism, where patients fail to pick up verbal and non verbal cues in social interactions. As opposed to autism, victims of Aspergers do not lag behind in cognitive skills, language development or basic intelligence.

Little Professors -, Oddly enough, they demonstrate an uncanny interest with uniquely 'different' topics. Unable to appreciate the nuances of speaker – listener communication, these 'little professors', as they are fondly called, can wax eloquent on their pet topics, irrespective of the listener's response. This lack of empathetic communication creates a setback in their peer relationships and social interactions.

Suspect this condition if you find the following attributes in a person –

Intelligence – usually average or above average

Poor conversational skills

Lacking control of emotions such as anger, depression and anxiety

Unable to think in abstract ways

No empathy with friends or family

Likes to follow a set routine

Has unusal areas of special interest in which they may excel.
