Re: Asperger vs ADHD, what's the biggest difference?

>>do you understand and can you easily use humour, irony and figurative language? i don’t know anyone with aspergers who is remotely socially competent in those areas. <<

We have clients here who can’t do that face-to-face, but put them at a computer, or give them a phone and they are socially able again.

One in particular won’t look you in the eye, won’t speak to you in the hall, struggles to answer questions, but we put them at our help desk (a work training thing we do sometimes) and they were shear genius and spoke freely on the phone, and were fantastic with emails to customers. In fact, better on the phone and with the email than some of the other help desk staff! They were like two different people.
