I really hate

being treated with disrespect at times, as if I am not entitled to it.

Taking so long to get things done

Stimming when stressed

Not being able to liaise with people affectively

Getting lost in obsessions

Being bullied

Holding back on opportunitys in life

The urge to say things that I find very relevant but everyone else finds totally off topic.

I hate that I can't turn off my feelings towards women. Yes, people like me are extremely likely to not get girlfriends/boyfriends and I think its sumpremely unfair that we are still able to be attracted to them. Its very wrong.

Nature should know that we have social problems and should therefore flip the emotion switch so that we don't suffer any stress in this region of life.

Or does the Aspie information that us Aspies get on our condition make us believe that we can't do something when in fact we can?

Trust me, there is a like minded partner out there waiting for all of us. There is an amazing world of experiences we are all entitled to in this life.
We sure don't have to turn this off, this all belongs to us too. You just need to look in the right places. It's so worth it.

Yes you are right, we do tend to be conditioned to believe we can't achieve certain things in life. It's not true though.

Off topic now I know,

I hate it that aspies are made to believe we have all these limitation in life that hold us back from the happyness we are entitled to and so deserve.

I wouldn't mind if AS just involved a few social difficulties and that was it. But why does it have all the rest come with it aswell? Life's difficult enough for the average NT as it is, without being someone who has little or too much difficulty in everything they say, do and think.
It's a very horrible thing to have, because I am smart enough to know what I am missing, but dumb enough to not be able to do all life's tasks right. Somebody with very severe Autism is happy to hit themselves all day, or dive into their special interests all day, or do something repetitive all day, or whatever else they do. And they don't think of the NT world, and they're not treated like a NT at all, and they're just oblivious, so they don't know or care what they're missing. I know someone who has a 22-year-old daughter with Down's Syndrome, and she's very happy when she's got a colourful toy to play with. She hasn't got a care in the world - the only thing she cares about are colourful toys. And they amuse her for hours. So she's also ''not bothered'' about what she's missing. Also my cousin's boyfriend's 26-year-old son has a mind what is no more than 2 years old, and always will. He's totally oblivious to anything, and lives in a care home and needs 24-hour care.

But there's me, able-bodied and able-minded, and I get treated like I have no excuse to not want to work, even though I'm not being lazy at all. I suffer from high anxiety, I suffer with social difficulties, I suffer with routine change, and I suffer with sensory issues like noise. But the job center just says, ''never mind that - you are not classed as disabled, you can work.'' And I've just got to get on with it, despite all the difficulties I suffer with what comes with this AS.

Why does AS have so many different problems? Why not just social difficulties and be done with it? Why all these added problems, like sensory issues and anxiety and obsessions and ect? Ohh, so annoying!
