Question: Can people with asperger's be creative?

(Posted by: Laura on 2010-06-14 02:43:57)

I have read that •Lack of imagination and creative play - such as not enjoying or taking part in role- play games. They may also find it difficult to grapple with abstract ideas. is a common symptom of aspergers syndrome. but is it possible for children with aspergers to enjoy role play alone, and be creative later in life?

I am guessing it's dependant on the person. But usually, people with asperger's tend to be very practical in their thinking, so normally they are not very creative due to the fact that they see the world so practically.

They can be, but it may be a different kind of creativity. I have Asperger's, and have made some original contributions; view shan-eris.4t.com/

BS Like 10% of RPG nerds have aspergers. Okay, I made that up, but I know eneough of them to tell you that you should not be afraid. Try buying the kid a lego or something. But even if your kid turns out to be totally booring-at least he can be happy without having to create all the time. Creativity isn't as fun as they say, really. REALLY
