boo: I can relate. I'm 46 and I think I've finally left my adolescence behind me, though my wife may disagree.

I agree completely, I believe that the way the world works today is so wrong and backwards and that help and serves are too hard to obtain for the people who often need them the most. Now keep in mind that those Emo kids and posers really do have something wrong with them. Those people who pretend are obviously f-ed up and need help that help might be dramatically different then the help they feel they need through their fake diagnosis. I personally pity them.

sometimes, Emo's are actualy too self-centered to admit that their problems will be over.

Why are you talking about emo's as if they are fakes that dwell on their feelings for attention?

That's true and that's another reason why I pity them. I pity people who want to suffer to make themselves content but not happy. Those people are ultimately suffering from a lower level of intelligence and I was raised to pity people who are weaker than me, and to strive to learn from people stronger than me.

Not all of them just some of them

The same can be said for just about any group, though. Why single out the emo's?

Because I have only ever came across emos like that

ive said about Five times now that im not having a dig at emos, just Wautistics.

I get what you said, but you still came across that way. I was just trying to find out why.

because im angry at a group of emos i suppose

Being a psychologist who's worked with the individuals in question for a long period of time you're fully qualified to make that statement, yes?

Sensory integration dysfunction (also known as sensory processing disorder) exists when the brain does not process sensory signals correctly and organize them into appropriate responses. It is not specific to autism, but can occur with many neurological conditions (eg, ADHD, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury) or may occur independently. Any sense can be affected, and people can be hyper-sensitive, hypo-sensitive, or just differently sensitive to various stimuli. Personally, I have a lot of tactile sensitivities, like the tag thing, I can't stand any kind of tight clothing, if my clothes or hair get wet I start to get very anxious and irritable, I don't have any allergy to wool like redness or anything, but I can't tolerate the texture/the way it feels. When I was a kid my parents would make me wear wool sweaters and then wonder why the slightest thing would cause a meltdown....duhhhh. Here's a link to a site on sensory processing disorder for more info: http://www.sensory-processing-disorder. ... klist.html

As far as meltdowns, I can only tell you what mine were like. Sometimes it was a major big-deal provocation and sometimes very little, but there would be this feeling, not just anger but "disturbance" that I could feel in the pit of my stomach and my chest, and if whatever/whoever was provoking me didn't stop, it would get worse and worse and I'd lose the ability to think. When that happened, I'd scream, start pounding on things, often hurt myself, break things. I didn't tend to take it out on anyone else, just myself and inanimate objects. I had only spotty recall of what happened. When I was about 30 years old I learned how to recognize the signs and stop them before they got to the stage of causing me embarrassment or injury. I've seen other ppl have meltdowns too, and I don't know if it's the same for them.

Someones already brought this up to me,

I have to admit that I have never met a wautistic person. All the kids I was in special ed with had genuine symptoms.

However, I have been accused of having wautism by a few autism moms who have only seen me post-social skills training and on my meds.

I have spent quite a lot of time in psychiatric hospital (not professionally) and there are always young people with a lot of the characteristics referred to in this thread, and many refer to themselves and each other as emo, and have vast collections of emo music. They have some very obvious symptoms (self-harm, substance abuse, persistent thoughts etc) and histories (abuse etc), but often do not have one, single, consistent diagnostic label. Many of them cycle through psychiatric and developmental conditions according to mood and circumstances, including autism and Asperger's. I have not met one yet who was autistic, because every one of them cycled out of their autistic phase (and back in again). They are often incredibly well-read and familiar with psychiatric terminology, and well able to fit into a chosen diagnosis.

The last thing that I would call them is fakers, because they have very real problems - I don't think I have ever seen anyone fake their way into psychiatric care.
