It's really odd for me especailly, 'cause I've been checked for the same disorder when I was eight :S Well anyway, just wanted to share.

Sorry if I overlooked anything and it's been posted :$

Is it pronounced like 'ass burger'? Hmmm...

wow! i didn't know that .... i never herad of that syndrome... you had it??

----------------------------------------


Life is just one damned thing after another

whoa..i never knew that. that's really fucked up.

Christ. Next there'll be "Being a twat syndrome"....

yes actually I kind of expected it but i hope it's nothing serious

Life is just one damned thing after another

right, I'm never letting the forum out of my eyes again. Last week I come back and find that Darbie tried to steal Mo away from me. Did I learn my leason? No. This week I come back and the whole fucking forum is gone

So here I am. 'tis a sad day indeed.

*hugs Craighead back*

thanks I needed that

I dont get this whole thing about how people with this disorder prefer softer clothes, well so do I, but Im not like that mental or anything

I'm just glad they found out what was wrong with Craig after all this time and can finally get all the help he needs.

That is so weird. I almost feel like...huh. Isn't that strange.

is it true? i dunno...NME isn't the most reliable source *shifts eyes suspiciously*

checked google new. its all over the major australian papers

sooooooo...no new album then?

Well, he's always had it, and he made 2 records with it, so why would there be no 3rd just because of that? It's not like suddenly he's completely different and unable to function. He's the same as he ever was.

i read they are making a new album. they will just be touring less

nooo..oh well.

i know this is a little off topic but in an article it said craig went to the hearing with his managers and his brother matt.....what a hot name.

i feel sorry for him...

yes, me too i really don't know what to say...i remember when the media talked about him, often shit...he was always high they said....nobody knew it

yes that seems to happen alot and then something serious occurs and now all the aussie papers that said he was insane after the anandale are eating their words.

heres some info on AS http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/b...s_syndrome?open

they better do...i know it's hypocritical (sp?!?) but they really passed the limit with him.....i've seen him just once and yea he was making strange faces and stuff but he really had nothing to do with all the shit they wrote....he's a simple and friendly guy, well...this what i think

My mom had a student with asperger's syndrome

I met him. he was a nice kid.

He's in a mental hospital now though cause it made him go nuts.

so...yeah hopefully that won't happen to Craig.

when I mentioned this to her she said "Oh God.. and frowned"
so that didn't make me feel much better.

me too. he is mis understood by the mainstream media like so many great artists. dali, van gogh(sp), this crazy geometry dude my teacher mentioned who was a genius and was keep getting put in asylums..

i read that stress or sudden change can cause afflicted people to have a nervous breakdown.

they just view the world differently...dunno, i'm reading the link posted by little washu

exactly. it can't even be diagnosed as a 'real' disorder or disease. its like chronic fatigue syndrome in that sense. it can't be treated or cured really.

Articles:
MTV
Rolling Stone
Drowned In Sound
Billboard
Daily Telegraph

And I bet the guy who wrote this feels like a bit of a dick.

that's why craig said he cant drive. in the mtv article it says AS suffers have poor motor skills

By 'motor skills' I'm pretty sure they are talking about muscle movement.

what? is this a sex reference?

Errr... No.

i am confused

I read that link and a few others

the thing about the syndrome is its different for different people
really with any disorder

compared to the kid I know who has it Craig doesn't seem to have it as severe....but then again I've never met Craig

and it is a real disorder its just a pretty newly discovered one that they can't quite explain too well or treat as well as disorders that have been well known for a while.

Craig has gone 2 years without him or his peers understanding what was wrong with him and without proper treatment and hasn't gone absolutely nuts.....so now that they know what he has and he can go the right way about getting treatment for it I don't know why this should really be upsetting. More than likely he'll be better off now. They might not tour as much yeah, but theres nothing wrong with that. They'll still come around probably.

Look up 'motor' in the dictionary.

*gets out dictionary goes to m, flips to motor*of, relating to, concerned with muscular movement. oh ok got it

Glad to hear it.

yea i think so too. When i saw him (just saw...i did not dare to go closer, yea i'm an idiot i know) he did seem to be quiet and hyper in the same time...dunno how to explain...even though he was really silent, he didn't say much

NEWS.com.au

hahah i just talked a family friend about it and she was like "that's such a bullshit disease" and she's in the medical field. she was like "that's another way of saying eccentric" and she started laughing hysterically.

For starters it's not a disease. It's a syndrome.
And to be eccentric is to display un-conventional human behaviour, which admittedly Craig does... because he has Aspergers Syndrome.

Your medical friend is not a Vet is she?

I agree totally. I mean before he was just a weird rock star and now his mentally disabled?
I think the people in the medical community just really like to label things. This illness is only like 2 years old. And now every journalist will be repeating this story everytime the vines do anything.
At least there is good news that they will be touring less and the record company won't be able to put so much pressure on the band.

I'm glad he knows what it is he has and hopefully this will all be for the better. Now maybe the reporters will stop making fun of his weird actions and there will be a reason to slow down on the touring.

actually its is 10 years old.

yes they will be able to tour less and have less interviews to conduct.

haha, i saw this and it just made my day

i mean i knew something was up since i first saw the get free video.

i always thought he was.....different

how does this make your day? the man has an illness

well we knew that

and schizophrenia was considered a bullshit disorder back in the day

just cause they havn't quite figured out what causes AS doesn't mean its bullshit
