is this portrayal of Asperger's Syndrome accurate to you??
sorry if this was already discussed, I haven't been able to find it in the tags or anywhere else.
I'm a BIG fan of Grey's Anatomy, (obsession #2 for me), and if any of you watch it religously as I do, you would have seen Dr. Dixon, who we later find out she has . There are some clips behind the cut with her. You can research more.
you might be able to watch some episodes at the ABC website.
When I first saw Dr. Dixon, I knew within minutes what she had, and I already began to emphasize with her. However, I just thought someone like her would've adapted better, especially in her profession and position. Do you think this an over exaggeration of Asperger's or just an accurate description of the extreme end? It sort of made me concerned for myself as I'm trying to go into the medical field, and while I've come along way of actually trying to interact with people, I'm having trouble with the whole "building a rapport with people".
