what is it like to be an aspie?

Post Reply New Topic

I think this topic was brought up before, but I will say it again. For an NT to know what it's like to be an aspie, and vise-versa, is a lot like a man wanting to know what it's like to be a woman, and vise-versa. There is no true way of knowing what's it really like.

For me, It's like being bound to a world where you know systems and the status quo can be changed/improved but the majority refuses to do so due to their comfortability status. It is like trying to talk to people and expressing yourself but it is still not enough for people to accept.

It is like trying to make sense of this world with your own or vice versa. It is like trying to find yourself in objects and fiction rather than other people, and you do this because you are tryign to find the correct strings to extract the right data from people while trying to establish a connection...But the acquaintance barrier is always up and is way too hard to break. It is constant observation where what you observe is not equivalent to others and most don't get it. But maybe that's okay, because sometimes you don't get it either.

I am just going to simplify the description: Psychologically Unmapped Territory
A few other descriptions...

Like a Black Sheep amongst a bunch of Sheeple
Like an Error-Detecting Non-Conformist amongst a bunch of Error-Repeating Robotic-Conformists
Like an individual who can see Reality for Reality whilst everybody else believes in the Opposite of Reality

Like someone who can see that the entire world has been turned upside-down and backwards
(even though, for whatever reason, the entire world somehow believes such mental-diseases are "Normal")
Like a Peace-Preferring Pacifist amongst a bunch of War-Mongering Bullies

...this is largely what it is like to live the Aspie-Life... I oppose Double-Speak...

im autistic even though i don't have aspergers but one of my brothers has it

what is it like to have aspergers? like you're ahead of math, science and history in school and you're able to say full sentences and take place in conversations and quote movies but can't read people's faces, get angry often at little things (like homewoork or missing peper) and know everything yet have trouble with 'small' talk
