Am I on autism spectrum ? You be the judge

Post Reply New Topic

Excellent
You finally got something right.

Maybe I am just an introvert misanthrope, with a knack for debate.

And apparently 100 times smarter than most aspies, autists , and schizos on here.

Perhaps I'm a brand new classification of being science has so far yet to unearth.

and far be it for me to judge,
but most aspies and autistics on here seem to have quite a bit of mind blindness, and inability to realize they are being rude.

I'm just looking for answers, just like everyone else on here.

nice attempt at trying to redefine what rude means.

and I don't buy into the stereotype that autistics and aspergians are non-emotional computers.

1980's Atari version perhaps.

Anything else ?

Many apies are visual thinkers--the image I get is a square peg being pounded into a round hole with a sledgehammer.

The fact that you find the logical, straightforward posts of Aspies to be offensive is a HUGE clue that you do not have ASD. Starkid said nothing in his first post that a fellow aspie would find offensive. I thought he was being helpful.

My guess (and that's all it can be) is that you have social anxiety and a bit of hypochondria. I say hypochondria because a) you mention a lot of small symptoms that are common to many people and are not considered part of any condition, and b) you've already spoken to at least one doctor about this. I get the impression (could be wrong) that you visit doctors a lot.

I don't know what you are, Darlin. But I do know that you are not alone! I don't know what I am either, but we seem to be quite a bit alike, so that counts for something. Don't be sad. I love language, music, have allergies, & sleep paralysis. Loud sounds bother me too. It is noon now & I am in a dark room watching Ancient Aliens instead of going to my kids' "fun day" at school at the moment, which to me is "hell day". Especially since it is rainy here & not outside. The acoustics of screaming kids in a gym with no padding on the walls or floors to absorb the sound waves was too much for me to handle. I couldn't do it. Thinking about it made me want to go into the fetal position. I am writing a test for a girl I'm tutoring on the Illiad & Odyssey now. I am fascinated with Antiquity & all things 'dead' including parapsychology which I absorb like a sponge. But I always flunked history too! They didn't teach Ancient History. So, it bored me to tears. I can't remember dates. I don't even know today's date, & I'm not kidding. You and I seem to be of the same ilk. It comforts me to know that I am not alone, although I am technically alone. You know?

And I have to laugh at this thread a little bit. 'WE' (not gonna label it, cause there may not be a label & what the hell difference does it make anyhow) all seem to come across to others as rude. I piss people off unintentionally constantly. But together as a whole, we will have a tendency to all piss each other off. I always think other people are being rude to me, & vice versa. It is what it is. Communicating is the hardest. Why can't we all just get along, man?!

Personally, I do have to throw this one in though, almost nothing pisses me off more than being called a hypochondriac. I'm not crazy, & neither am I! Or am I? I'll never tell. Bwahahaha.

Why do people have to be negative & put frowny faces up? Where does that get anyone? Aren't we here to support one another? Not tear each other down. Play nice, my babies.

...Hey .
