There is something really wrong here though, as you've posted a desperation of autistic symptoms along with despair and depression in other threads.

If they say you dont have it, what are they saying that you do have? If you went to a doctor and presented a case of symptoms and they decline a diagnoses, what do they offer in its stead?
What do they say?


Makes me wonder if there's a case of "psychosomatic" Aspergers.

Don't worry... Trolls are people too! I'm confident that you can find a life eventually, if you try hard enough. Us aspies will help you through it.


Actually the term trolling refers to a type of fishing where they tie bait and drive around with the bait on the water causing unknowing fish to follow along and get hooked.


Trolling, as you certainly know, refers to a method of annoying people on the interwebs, derived from the verb for hunting (usually but not necessarily fish) with moving bait and almost universally associated with the homophone word for an irksome monster for obvious reasons that are obvious. :wink:

So if people find you annoying for some reason, that makes you a troll even if you aren't intending to annoy them? :?

I have also noticed when someone asks too many questions on a forum, they are labeled as one. I don't get it. Last time I saw, a troll is referred to someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion (from wikipedia) and I see nothing I mean nothing about them asking too many questions. How is that trolling?

This is exactly why it is so important to be diagnosed. Otherwise you can self-diagnose or think you have autism and come to the wrong conclusions about yourself, resulting in unecessary anxiety and misery.

If you don't believe you have autism, then maybe you don't. I have a friend who started to talk at five and is shy, but she don't have autism are any other development disorder. So every child with a speech delay may not have a disability. So a child without a speech delay may have a disorder but milder.

It is just a label.

Whatever label you might be assigned by our current understanding of how a human brain works, you will still be the same old you, and you will still have the same problems.

Now...

You need a hobby. Constantly posting self deprecating topics on a Web forum is not going to help your situation.

Find something you like to do, and see if you can become really good at it. :!:

Because there comes a point where your questions are just that you are uninformed and then go to a way to pisss people off

Well sometimes I like to ask questions about a topic because I am curious and want to hear from other people. It is not to piss them off. If they don't want to answer, they are not obligated too. So far I have never been called a troll when I kept asking questions about pregnancy on Yahoo Answers or at babycenter until I posted this one thread there.

No, asking many questions is not trolling, and merely being found annoying is certainly not. We can't please everyone. I said trolling is a method of annoying people; by method I meant to imply something deliberately done. Maybe I should have said "a particular and deliberate method" to make that point clearer. The important thing - far too important to let by - is that it is only very tangentially related to fishing. :roll: :lol:
