Updates

00/0000 - This is a sample update! Hurray!


Rules

Pretty simple, I think, but just to be clear:

- Don't post in Jodie's journal without the permission of FKT unless you are staff.
- Don't include Jodie in plots without first talking to FKT (I don't bite, guys, really, and chances are, I'd love to have Jodie in your plot).
- Don't be a douche. This means stealing of any kind, from concept to art, and other such douchebaggery things.

Other than that, enjoy!

Autism Spectrum: Asperger's Syndrome


Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with stereotypies and other restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other ASDs by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.

Asperger syndrome (AS) is also called Asperger's syndrome, Asperger (or Asperger's) disorder, or just Asperger's. It is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy. Fifty years later, AS was standardized as a diagnosis, but questions about many aspects remain. For example, there is lingering doubt about the distinction between AS and high-functioning autism (HFA); partly because of this, the prevalence of AS is not firmly established. The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.

There is no single treatment for Asperger syndrome, and the effectiveness of particular interventions is supported by only limited data. Intervention is aimed at improving symptoms and function. The mainstay of management is behavioral therapy, focusing on specific deficits to address poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness. Most individuals with AS can improve over time, but difficulties with communication, social adjustment and independent living continue into adulthood. Some researchers and people with AS have advocated a shift in attitudes toward the view that AS is a difference, rather than a disability that must be treated or cured.

You can view the entire Wikipedia article here.

In particular, Jodie exhibits the following symptoms typical of AS children:

- A high intolerance to certain aspects pertaining to the five senses, including rough materials (such as some carpets), electronic noises (such as microwave beeping, cell ringers, etc), and the smell of raw meat. Inversely, soft fabrics (flannel is her favorite) and classical music pieces have the ability of particularly soothing her.

- A preference for routine, and resistance towards any sort of spur of the moment change. Should a change in plans occur, she is likely to have a meltdown.

- Non-social behaviors, including a lack of eye contact, minimal facial expressions, and the occasional odd wording of a sentence.
