An important question

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not certain I fit completely on the spectrum, but I do know I'm not NT, I have no question of that. I am much happier once I decided to stop worrying about how I fit in with the rest of the world in regards to "success" and social ease. From just my history of clinical depression alone, I know if I try to do more than I'm able then I'll start to break down. To the larger population this looks like laziness, because I don't have a big FRAGILE stamped on my forehead. The thing about trying to be NT is; if you're essentially not NT, you cannot maintain the facade for very long. As far as success goes, I'll be happy if I can raise a son who's happy in his own skin. I think that has real value.

Aimless, is that a picture of your son? He's beautiful. He has amazing eyes.

Yes, that's my son, Dylan. I think he's beautiful too.

What about french fries with vinegar?

your paragraph sounds quite confused to me. autism is a syndrome that can range from debilitating severity, to simply a "mild touch" of autism.

considering there is no "blood test " (as it were ) for autism, i would consider people who "grow out of it", misdiagnosed. it can never be a scientifically proven fact (yet) that anyone has autism, so therefore misdiagnoses can occur given the mindset of a harried psychologist toward a person who is simply socially awkward at some point of their life.


there is much more than is contained within your dreams of what it is like to be autistic....in the reality of autism.

as to not being truly social due to narcissism:
i have narcissistic tendencies, but i do not have a narcissistic personality.
i consider that people in my way are obstacles, and i would gladly use a crowbar to move them out of my path.
people in front of me in a queue, i consider with ill will.
i wonder how deserving they are to be served before me. i can not see why they are ahead of me in a queue. what did i do wrong to be standing so far back in a queue of animated meat parcels.

however, because i am exceptionally arrogant(bordering on narcissism), i care not one iota for anyone else's appraisal of me.
i will continue to be with inevitability. like if 100 people insulted the niagra falls, it would still spill forth unaffected.

if you like yourself so much, then why care what others think?
i value my ideas foremost, and i consider other peoples input only if i am not tired or otherwise engaged (which is rarely).






poppycock. but yes i guess that an autistic brain is different than a non autistic brain due to thin myelin sheaths......... especially in the amygdala, and parts of the brain that contain mirror style neurons .

i see richness of effect where others in my life see boredom.
you seem to say that AS people see in black and white ("yes or no" "up or down" "good or bad" etc)
that is true for basic life things like going to the supermarket, but when i look at the clouds that are peach colored at sunset on my back porch, i can conceive of wonderful music that can frame my appreciation of what i am seeing.
but if i have any visitors, they tend to say "hmmmmmm.....yes....beautiful" and then they look away and look at the tv inside again, and i am left thinking "wake up you spud and see the glorious scintillating color and beauty in those clouds".
i do not like visitors.


well how can you be depressed and lonely if you are a narcissist and totally over the moon with how you are?
i am sorry i am quite affected tonight and i did not wish to offend.

so true, yet the logic flaw annoys me. NTs are stupid (which is true) yet you say they would need some of their brain removed to be like us? I think they are the ones with some of the brain missing and we would need some removed to be like them!




Not mis-wired, rather wired differently.

No, lot of people are stupid, not just NTs.

Lot of them are irrational.

Lot of them are also black and white

Lot of them also miss the overall picture

Lot of them also lack empathy

I think I am more gray, have more empathy and can see the overall picture than all these people who are stupid. One of WP friends here describes this as intellectual laziness. They are quick to make false assumptions and judge.

As is not autism, AS never was autism, and AS will never be autism.

you do not seem autistic to me.
maybe it would be good to drop the act

I don't see how anyone would last 2285 posts playing a role of an autistic.

I tried playing a role of an "NT" at AS Partners and pretending my husband was aspie and bragging about how great he is and I got bored with my trolling fast and I lost my posting privladges. I sucked at it and I think they caught me being an aspie.
Well it was fun while it lasted, I got some attention.

I laughed at all of this, so funny, but wrong and vulgar at the same time.

I guess I'm too non-autistic to have AS.

Most of my posts have been brutal and offensive, almost 1/2 of them have been full of offense, and to tell the truth, many aspies here have only posted around 1-10 posts, I'm just interested in this site, so are many NT's, I've seen many NT's here who have posted 5000-10000 posts in a few years.

Random, off-topic question;

If you see a man covered in white running between your room and stairs, what kind of suffering is it?

Well said. I wish I had known this a few years ago...would have saved a lot of suffering and wasted time on my part.



Amen. I am SO SICK of hearing that "everybody goes through that." Love the "Yore legs ain't broke" comment (especially the deliberate misspelling--that's perfect!). I also want to ask those people if they would also be okay with telling someone in a wheelchair that he or she could walk if only he/she would "just try harder," and then insisting on making the wheelchair-bound person drag himself/herself up the stairs instead of using the ramp.

Sorry, but I have to disagree here... while there are many NTs on WP, what you describe is not factual. Of the top 100 posters on WrongPlanet, which gives a range of ~4100 posts to over 30,000, NONE are described at NT in their profile; 9 are not sure if they have it or not - the rest are identified, in one way or another, as being on the spectrum. While you have your moments, most of your posts are no more offensive or brutal than an episode of 'Metalocalypse' in my opinion. And AS is part of the autistic spectrum; that you do not wish to accept this is your decision, but does not project that decision onto the reality of others.

^ Yes, but i think AS isn't literally autism.
