I am always looking for other AS people. I see them everywhere, but that is because you can see similarities in everything that exists, if you look hard enough or far enough away.
The problem is that by looking you don't see the differences, and you don't see what is happening around you because you are just looking for one thing. You can look for anything in any one anywhere and you can find what you are looking for, but in that case have you really found what you ARE looking for?
A teachers job is to teach to people. A teacher is supposed to find out why the student cannot learn what they are being taught. The teacher then has to figure out who is at fault, the student for not learning or the teacher for not teaching it to the student so they can learn. Teachers often assume the former. They look for faults in the student and because they are looking they find those faults.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. What happens then is the student is sent out for testing and the testers determine how best to teach that child, then it is up to that teacher to teach in that manner. They key is, the teacher finds a problem and someone else figures what the solution is.
I can look for people with AS, but although I will find people that fit the description, I can never actually diagnose, because I do not have the expertise to see the whole person, the whole issue, every aspect and all it's possibilities.
I should never look for people with AS.
