I tried starting a negative thread and it didn't work. (I really do feel very negatively about possibly having AS in many ways.) What would I have to do to get banned? I really shouldn't be in here. Just because I've been reading stuff on here I now believe I hve every negative symptom and am afraid to go to work tomorrow for fear everyone knows it and is talking about me. I don't even have sensory issues and now I'm looking for them everywhere. Why can't someone just ban me? I would't make up a new name. Or tell me some way to block this site in Safari, which is the browser I use most because I like the features of it the best.

well, answering your question, you would need to curse to the high heavens, scream out racial slurs, ect.

wait, you're saying that the Why is it good to have AS thread is something enough to get you banned? you were just confused that's all. or perhaps you're still confused. :?

I think it would be enough to get one banned from some forums, especially with negative answers that I've been giving.

I am starting to think that you have some issues above and beyond AS. While You certainly could be on the spectrum, some other things that supercede that are in play.

If you are truly serious about this buddy, then change your password to something really long that you will never remember. Then press accept and I wish you the best of luck!

I agree, this seems like some sort of obsessive hypochrondria.

We're similar but different?

What if you stay off the internet for a few days?
Maybe that way you can't log onto WP and you can turn this obsessive focus onto something else.

Have you seen a doctor about your problem?

To me it seems a combination of depression, obsession, paranoia, and desperation... No offence.. But if you DO have AS, you would see the strength in each of your weakness, or at least have the potential to see the strength..

I have been diagnosed with OCD. I was with an HMO, though, and the new company I work for has insurance, but not this particular HMO, so I will have to find a new doctor. Also, I had to stop taking Paxil because of not having anyone to prescribe it...Paxil helped a lot with obsessive thoughts.

Usually the only things I obsess about is either whether or not I have AS, or things about work or worrying about getting fired or that people won't like me, but I do feel I meet the criteria for OCD. I also have been diagnosed with social phobia/social anixety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and avoidant personality disorder. All of which I fit ALL the criteria for, and I don't think it's hypochondriacal to think I have those.

However, I'm not usually convinced I fit all the criteria for AS, so it is hypochondriacal to go to doctor after doctor trying to get diagnosed, or expecting anytime that someone will tell me that I have AS (I mean some random person, not someon on an AS board.)

If I were to read up on borderline personality disorder or bi-polar, I would probably feel like I didn't meeet all t he criteria of those either, but that they were things I didn't want to have; therefore I must really have them and be in denial about having them. This is the same way I feel about AS.

This has worked for me too, at sites I didn't want to get too addicted to.

Being racist is a good start :wink:

For what it's worth Norah,on reading your posts I'm inclined to think that you probably don't have AS after all.I could be wrong of course but I know from previous threads that you've already been advised by a few doctors that you don't have it,but you still have your own doubts. Have any of the doctors raised the possibility of Hypochondria ?
As for being banned for negative comments about AS,it's not really like WP is an 'Aspie
Club' or anything. Most people welcome any constructive debate about AS or autism.We
all have negative thoughts at some stage. Also,would it be in your nature to do something
so nasty it would get you banned.That might affect your self esteem in the long run.
In the meantime you could perhaps try to take up another interest that would keep you away from WP and take your mind off the AS.

I guess your in the US if your using the word HMO . I ordered my meds online at
http://www.dcpills.com/
You do an online consultation. You just say you had a physical exam in the last year
simple say you have depression and have been rx the meds before. Pay with
credit card.

I think the administrators can sense if you are deliberately trying to get banned.

I don't know if you live alone, but if you have some kind of parental control program on your computer, you could have the other person put a password on it and block this site.

:(

Norah, I'm not saying it's necessarily applicable to you, but it's very common to find something of oneself in just about every disorder listed in the DSM or ICD. The reason for this is that everybody has a little of everything at least. It's just the nature of human cognition and why there's a joked about condition called "New Psych Student Disorder" when a psychology student is introduced to the DSM for the first time and they see themselves in just about everything. But the people who receive any given label are the ones who have enough of the symptoms to have the full blown disorder.

For your own self, I don't know. But there's a lot about Social Phobia and OCD which resemble portions of Aspergers but are not actually Aspergers, themselves, so they can be very misleading.
