What is(if any) the Physical effects of Aspergers?

(1/2) > >>

Cariad†:
I've been searching for a while and found nothing on physical effects but I was told that there are some.
I have Aspergers Syndrome and wanted to know about the physical changes. I know it affects socializing and things like that while giving an obsession with something(Astronomy is mine).
It affects people with average - above average intelligence. So don't say because it's autism it's a retardation.
The reason I want to know this is because I'm joining the Canadian Forces when I graduate in 3 years and I need to learn all about it. I got most of it but I don't know what it physically does. Mine is a level 6(Not sure if level is the right word).




Again, does anybody know what they are?

Did you get an official diagnosis from a doctor? I don't think you should jump to the conclusion that you have aspie just because of social awkwardness (which you can improve) and an interest in astronomy.

And it's also evident that you aren't mentally deficient.

Yes I gotten one from a doctor, however it was a couple years ago. All I'm looking for is the physical effects. I was diagnosed with it when I was 7. Also, Aspergers Syndrome doesn't affect those who are lower in intelligence. It affects Average to above average. It also doesn't have affects on your intelligence despite being an Autism syndrome. Bill Gates is thought to have/had it.
I was a 6 aspie years back. However I have greatly improved that's why it seems like I don't have it. But that's because it's easy to improve with it. You're thinking of another form of Autism. People with Aspergers are nowhere near mentally deficient. Again, yes I have an official diagnosis from my doctor.

Again. I just want the physical effects.


*EDIT* I don't jump to conclusions on something like this.

The only physical one I know of is sometimes aspies have a strange walk/posture but that's it.
