I think this label will be an extraordinary weapon we will give to NT people, for them to launch over us, at the moments we can stop then buliing, at this moments they will say: this is because your disorder... or, I know about your crazy diagnosis... or... anything about mental disorders and so one!

Well, what I can say to people is: if you want to suffer from aspergers go on, and pay a doctor to diagnosis you, stigmatizing you as an idiot, but you have an option, you have not to be this suffering idiot, you can be yourself and say you are an aspie!

And, in fact, what kind of idiot are us all??? read all that description that really suits on us, why to say we suffer from that??? Why to stay at the corners suffering from an invented illness that should be only cause to proud?

Well, what I say is: if you are an aspie, so raise your head and be proud of it, and that must be to be an aspie!! !

Let us make this moment our time, let us stop suffering aspergers, let us stop suffering everything, by now we will raise our head and be true prouded aspie, that is in fact only to be an aspie!! !

So be an aspie, and be proud of it!! !

I don't know what kind of NTs you hang out with, but there are plenty who are more tolerant of differences once they understand the cause. Only a jerk would throw a diagnosis back in your face, and I would hope I wouldn't be hanging out with them anyway.



Not sure where you're getting the "idiot" from. Do you think that a diagnosis of Asperger's equates with a "diagnosis" of idiot?



A lot of people feel like they do in fact "suffer" with this disorder. There are plenty of people on here who had miserable childhoods and continue to have adulthoods deeply affected in negative ways by their Asperger's. Don't they have the right to term it "suffering" if that describes their experience? It's great that you're so happy being an Aspie- plenty of people aren't.

I corrected teachers (several actually and a couple who were quite shocked) because I had almost a compulsion to not tolerate error. I realize now of course that could be insulting but at the time to me it would seem that a instructor should know. I was also tossed out of religion class to study in the library on my own because I caused too much controversy.

Funny thing is - this is STILL an area where I defintely lack tact because I still assume people want to be informed and forget the social formalities (lol). Then they get insulted or think that I am very critical. And I really do not do it deliberately.

Whatever label you have people do tend to toss is back at you whether they are jerks or not. I think it must be too much of a temptation for them especially if they are wrong to just say you are "crazy" or whatever instead of saying they are sorry. Of course if someone constantly refers to you that way then they are not a good friend - but I think sometimes people get overly sensitive about that stuff too.

Whatever you do is up to you! I don't really care. Asperger's is not considered an illness in the US. Lots of people have labels such as "dyslexiic," but they don't walk around with them stamped on their foreheads. Many kids have the "ADHD" label. I believe that something like 30% of kids have some type of label.

Having a diagnosis has helped me to adapt and given me information I needed to better get along with people.

If you don't need one, don't get one!

I believe it is generally seen like this, anyway mental diagnosis are allways seen as depreciating, I believe even the specialist that diagnosis people that want to be diagnosis there believe the guy who wants it an idiot!



This is really a goog point that shows a paradox at different conceptions of aspiness. The description shown above in this thread is not compatible with sufferings

Yes, and we need not to go far to collect examples of such bad manners.

What are neurologists diagnosing at US?
