Asperger syndrome

I was looking up the meaning of the Asperger syndrome and I found some interesting information:
Asperger Syndrome is a neurobiological disorder which describes a pattern of behaviors in several young boys who had normal intelligence and language development but marked deficiencies in social and communication skills.
Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes. The often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They perceive the world very differently; they have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language). Many behaviors are due to those neurological differences and not the result of bad behavior.
Vocabularies may be extraordinarily rich and some children sound like “little professors”. However, persons with AS can be extremely literal and have difficulty using language in a social context.
The most common and important characteristic is the difficulty with social behavior , a person with AS has trouble understanding the emotions of other people, they also have trouble showing empathy with other people. They have a highly pedantic way of speaking using a far more formal register of language than appropriate for a context. Children with AS may show advanced abilities for their age in language, reading, mathematics, or music.
The exact cause of AS is unknown and the prevalence is not established. AS is often identified in early childhood, and many individuals do not receive diagnosis until after puberty or when they are adults.
As is sometimes viewed as a syndrome with both advantages and disadvantages, and notable adults with AS or autism have achieved success. Some AS researches speculate that well-known figures, including Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton has AS because they showed some related tendencies or behaviors, such as intense interest in one subject, or social problems.
Albert Einstein may have had AS

The music I Like


The music I like is especially from Spanish groups.
Sometimes I thought why, and I don’t know exactly but probably because of I understand the lyrics and it’s easy to put myself in the singer place and
feel like him.
Groups as “El canto del Loco”, “Pereza” or “Juanes” are my favorite.

On the other hand I hate singers which achieved the success thanks to a program television as “Operation Triumph”.
Also I love English groups like Cold Play and Lenny Kravitz who has intemporary great hits.

Cold Play played last year in Barcelona, into “Palau Sant Jordi” and of course,
I was there, it was the best concert I’ve ever been, I hope they come back early.
