I don't want to be an Aspie. I want that cure.

Synth- Clearly you and I do not and will not "get along" on this forum. You've taken two pot-shots at me (http://www.wrongplanet.net/postxf79170-0-30.html) and frankly, I'm getting bored with your need to condescend and flatter yourself.
Make you a deal: Don't post to or about me and I'll do the same. My life is way too short to waste time dealing with this kind of crap.

Sorry everyone else- back to your regularly scheduled topic:

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I absolutely hate Asperger's. One thing I've noticed is that some people seem to have it "worse" than others so just because some Aspies have found a way to get by and be happy, that probably won't work for everyone or people that have it "worse" than you do. I don't know if I'd trade Asperger's for cancer, but if someone gave me the choice of living a long, life and dying of old age in my current condition or, curing me tomorrow, but I would only live 10 more years and not a day longer, I'd have them cure me in a heart beat.

I hate not having friends
I hate not being able to make friends
I hate my "interests" because they're not conducive to a better life
I hate my "interests" because, for some reason, they require other people
I hate that I have a very hard time learning things that don't directly interest me
I hate the fact that I don't like being alone and I don't like being with people
I hate having to wear sunglasses every single time I go outside because the light hurts my eyes
I hate being more sensitive to pain. Combine that with Fibromyalgia and things aren't fun

Claiming someones desperatism as a "pitty party" is one of the most ignorent things someone can say. People who say these things may not actually want a disease but instead only want someone to CARE about them, like someone would care about someone who is sick. I don't make assumptions, I make my comments based on evidence, which points to the fact that you obviously don't know what it's like to be in that situation, so don't bash people who have! Were you hinting before that your mother died of cancer? Well ok, you have the right to be sad, especially if she was kind to you. Not all of us have/had support like you have. So stop being so hypocritical.

Not me, I don't recall ever saying anything bad about that situation at all. I was only trying to point out that not everyone was as fortunate as you, having that kind of support from anyone, so it's not nice to call something a "pitty party" that you know nothing about. Just like you have had problems with your mother having cancer, some of us have had problems that are equally bad, except with healthy mothers. I could bring up the term "abusive" but people react negatively about that so I won't. I think you get the point! Your mother was sweet, ours were rotten and neglectful don't look down on us when we feel just as much as you.

I edited my post.

I really don't care if you think I'm right, and I know you are not sincere so whatever you say.
My understanding has been brought forth, and there is nothing left to say on this matter.
All I was trying to do is make you see you were not being very kind to someone who needed kindness badly in the first place, which is something you still can't seem to grasp.. So it's out of my hands.

Soooo....
Somebody have actually dropped gluten...
Did it have any effect on other symptoms than stomach?

As to surviving on a diet:
I lived without milk products and gluten products for one year. OK it was very difficult. But I didnt get hungry a lot.

Basis was rice. Then lentils, beans etc as I am poor. Meat fish and poultry was luxury.
Lots of fresh fruit helps. Raw and cooked vegetables.
Oats are without gluten! I ate a lot of that! Porridge or plain oats with orange juice

We have oatsmilk here in sweden! Very nice. Rice milk is an alternative. But oats are good in itself, with fatty acids and so on. Very good.

I think what we eat influence us very much. Especially when we dont feel good, we should pay attention to what we eat.

I want research on this. I am writing a thesis on these so called opioid peptides.
Please post links if you stumble upon something connected...

OP:
On another thread you expressed interest in writing a story. I take it writing might be an interest of yours. Another strategy can be working on developing the writing. People will notice what you do and start being complimentary and supportive so it won't matter as much if you are eccentric and have different ways of socializing or dislike socializing, not on the same page, whatever you want to call it.
Having AS can be a rewarding, fun life if you can accept yourself and work around it, being creative with your special interest and working on that is one way to work around other "AS" issues that cause frustration.

ANyone who has cancer deserves pity and has a right to be depressed if they want to be.

I get so sick and tired of people who are facing something horrific and everyone wants them to buck up and quit pitying themselves.

Once they suffer the unimaginable and then go into eternity, does it matter WTF they feel or say or think? I think it's ridiculous to make someone act like they are coping when they are not. Why? So YOU can feel better?

Let them feel what they feel and to hell with those who are too stupid and removed from suffering to understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed.

As far as people being more compassionate to those with physical porblems? That is a load of crap. Watch a Dr tell an uninsured mother of 5 that he won't do surgery on her because hse has no insurance. A man at my church was about to have to have a colostomy bag for like- at 22- because the Dr's wanted a $25,000 down payment. No one gave a crap that he was young and about to have a bag of poop eterally stuck to his side.

Eventually the church stepped in, but I can't say they ever showed him any more comapssion than they showed me, which was a nice amount.

I do understand what Chimchar is talking about though. I'm in an English class where the other students hate me because of the positive traits of Asperger's. It's saddening. It makes my life extremely difficult. GRAAAH.
