Welcome

Welcome to my Website on Asperger’s Syndrome. This website is an attempt to give someone an idea of what it is like to have Asperger’s Syndrome.

My name is Derek, and it was in 2009, that I got a formal diagnosis, specifically that I meet the criteria for Asperger’s Syndrome DSM IV. Prior to that, I was fairly sure I had the condition since being informed that such a condition existed, and before that, I was told that while I wasn’t “autistic”, I had “autistic tendencies”. I usually refer to the condition simply as “AS”. In today’s busy lifestyle anything is fair game for getting abbreviated, and Asperger’s Syndrome is no exception.

In this website, I am discussing various topics in relation to AS. In “My Experiences”, I also have pages under “Relevant Topics” and “Employment Topics”, which touch on individual things and notable observations in the context of someone with AS. I also have some topics that would be of interest to someone in the process of job hunting, but also on improving one’s chances of “fitting-in” to the organisation at work.

And then in the “Feeling Geeky?” section, I have a number of pages to perform various maths calculations, and these pages have an element of Javascript to make them work.

I will also put up posts from time to time, about different subjects, relating to AS in some way or another, the links to which will appear on this page.

This is the product of all the numbers from 1 up to and including the number. A factorial is denoted by adding an exclamation mark after the number. One practical […]

Exponentiation

This program is something of a follow-on from the one that can multiply large numbers together. Here, you can calculate one integer (whole number) to the power of a number. By this, I mean you can multiply one number by itself, another number of times. For example, 6 to the power of 5, which is […]

Multiplying big numbers

This little program is designed to emulate the feats of a small number of people who can multiply large numbers, including those much bigger than what a pocket calculator can display, in their heads.

The day for a given date

The inspiration behind this little program is a girl that I used to go to school with, and if you give her a certain date, she will tell you what day of the week that date falls on. This is a Javascript program to do just that. Enter the date in the boxes below, click […]

Teamwork

Let me start with an often-quoted acronym: TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More. What is it? One definition of teamwork would be the collaborative effort of a team to achieve a common goal or to complete a task in the most effective and efficient way. In other words, it is an approach to the completion of a […]
