Why is asperger's such a negative thing

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if it's 'negative', but if you have it you have it and you just gotta learn to deal with it x: Of course no one around these parts even know what it is so I am as normal as everyone else, just a mockery of the school c:

Because we are hard to deal with/understand. Knowing you will always have some degree of strangeness between you and your brother or son or sister etc. is distressing.

AS is not a negative thing to me.

Aspergers isnt that bad, Einstein was supposedly an aspie, which he did something no one else did. By the way alot of aspies are very successful, watch the following videos for what I mean:

self employment, business ownership

Einstein Autism

Vernon Smith: Nobel Prize winner!

It gives you the choice to excel in areas the normal people couldnt even reach...

I know my past posts I said I thought being an aspie was okay.

Now I don't even want to think of myself as an aspie. I JUST WANT TO BE NORMAL!

I HATE THE FACT I HAVE DISABLEITIES.
I HATE THAT I HAVE DELAY IN RESPONSES TO OTHER PEOPLE
I HATE EVERYONE FOR MISUNDERSTANDING ME!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

phew...
got that off my chest.

Why is that ? .. I'm glad to have AS.
I always say: Autism is just another way to say Alien... I'm really a super cool secret agent from outer space

I have days. On some days, it's positive. It helps with various things in life, it gets me through college easily and helps me understand why I am me. On other days, it's negative. I hate it with a vengance when I watch my friends and wonder on earth I can't be "normal".

But the majority of the time, I'm quite happy with it. I don't want a cure and I'd reject it even if they did come up with one. I'd happily look for the /cause/, out of pure curiosity but I'm not interested in any cure.

It seems to me that Asperger's is only negative to those who either don't understand it or want nothing to do with it.

NTs are not wired to react negatively to anyone. They make mistakes often .They dont understand Aspies till they meet one. then not all will go out of their way to find out. It may not impinge on their life, so don't find it nessessary to learn.Those of us priveleged to know one are in awe of the strength of character they possess to achieve against the odds. Mind you I may be biased because my aspie daughter is amazing.

Its how you look at it. I see it as a posetiv thing because i dont like being like other ppl its scares me.
And i like to be able to see things in another way than most ppl do. Make's it alot easier to give an argument to somebody.
