| To me self diagnosing or a person without the medical training diagnosing is no different from the 'anti vaccine moms' who are just 'sure' they 'know' what's going on and what to do. The anti vaxers have a dozen or more peer reviewed studies saying what they they know is wrong. That is not the case... |

Additionally, a later diagnosis of a psychotic disorder does not by itself negate an autism diagnosis.
It is possible for negative symptoms of schizophrenia to resemble autism, however. |

| I find it interesting when people who do get lying and do lie can't conceive of anyone not ever lying. Statements that one cannot lie are not exactly uncommon among autistic people. It's also not exactly uncommon among autistic people to not really be able to conceive of anyone else not doing/think... |

| The earliest lie I remember was when I was six or seven, and my sister (three years younger than me) was upstairs lying about me supposedly hitting her. I found this behavior shocking but it made other things make sense. She got in trouble for it because it was an obvious lie, but she had lied to ge... |

| It because they can't get girls so they hate girls. Prity simple. WRONG It's often because they don't get along well with girls.........Which partly explains why they can't get girls but it's not the whole story. Most women find social ineptitude to be not only sexually unattractive, but they feel ... |

| If I had a nickel for every time I've seen an Aspie on here throw other autistic people under the bus in the name of pride in the Aspie label I'd have at least $10. Seeing that over and over does tend to taint how one views the label. That would be 200 times. Yep. I see a lot of self identified Asp... |

| I'm too tired to read the whole thread ATM, but perhaps a mitigating factor is that, misogyny being a part of the culture, that people w/ASD will be less likely to buy into it by default (or even realize that it exists in culture (or that there is a culture, for that matter)). The problem with this... |

| AS wasn't dropped; it was merged with the rest of the spectrum. Mild AS usually doesn't make you eligible for disability because you can still work. And if you can work, why in the world would you want to try to get SSI? It's below the poverty line, you don't get anything fun, ever. You get to eat ... |

| You may want to say something like " when I was 20 , we paid for our own college". Well, your generation didn't go to college as much as a result. It's more like "your generation paid less to attend college." So, they actually went to college as much as or more, and paid less to... |
