I watch the show Celebrity Rehab and it's partying acting wild leading therefore into drugs/alcohol/sex addiction. I don't understand this behavior of partying etc. it's wild and immature behavior. I remember my speech teacher mentioning if you want to skip class and go to the beach fine but don't be upset if you fail my course UH IMO WHO WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH TO SKIP CLASS!! ! ! ! FOR GOD SAKE GET A TUTOR TRY YOUR HARDEST AND GET A C AT THE LEAST!! ! Don't just skip class work and party etc. So IMO since this addiction behavior etc. IMO seems like NT type stuff (although maybe some people with ASDs have been addicts I'm curious to hear your stories on the issue.) I don't do drugs and casually drink while out with family at a restraunt otherwise I don't get hangover drunk or any wild behavior.
Although I love me some flavored stuff Strawberry wine coolers/Daquari for me.
People with aspergers have a split outcome on addiction. You have the hardcore rule-followers who would never do anything taboo, or put anything bad in their bodies. Then you have the ones who have rubbed shoulders with the drug scene, and sought out drugs to numb the pain of the chronic frustration, emptiness, and boredom that accompanies aspergers.
Many people with aspergers are fortunate enough to have a specialist subject that they can make a career out of.
My specialist subject was drugs and escapism. I simply had no interest in sports, or anything required sustained attention, practice, and dedication.
As a result, I fell victim to years upon years of drug addiction.
