People are way to hard on people with aspergers. Unrealistically hard on them. I think some people with aspergers think their problems are wrost then they really are.

Anxiety? People with low self esteem have anxiety.
Social awkwardness? Computer geeks are socially awkward.
Hyperfocus? NORMAL people can Hyperfocus if they wanted to.
Embarrassment? Normal people get embarrased ALL the time. The difference is they can brush it off and laugh it off. Extreme Emotional sensitivity makes this almost impossible for some people with aspergers. And Therefore the EXTREME sense of Embarrassment. Sometimes even Suicide.

The only real problem i see is the emotional sensitivy. This is the real and only problem.


I would guess Aspergers is nothing more than someones emotions being out of whack.
All of their emotions are far more intense than normal people.

This gives rise to
Sexual Addiction
Pornographic Addiction
Love Addiction
Addiction to animals, Scents etc.
Addictions to books novels tv shows (pleasure from Dopamine)
Addictions to....

The unrealistic diagnosis or social pressures makes them "think" they are crazier than they really are. this gives rise to complete psychological meltdowns, visits to pshyc wards. Mimicking others peoples behanviors. This Mimicking is your Downfall

Note this is a general statement not really directed at anyone.

This is too simplistic to be accurate. For instance, you never mentioned anything about sensory issues, which are very much real and can be extremely debilitating.

Yea thats trues, but would you say the sensory issues are a result of emotional sensitivity? or maybe both go hand to hand

Emotional Sensitivity
Sensory Sensitivity. ...

My point is that its a "Sensitivity" issue. caused by chemicals in the brain being "Too MUCH"

I doubt the sensory issues are due to emotional sensitivity. I think you're going for a case-and-effect relationship, whereas it's more likely co-morbid conditions due to a different factor.

I would agree, however, that these sensitivities can be attributed to a sort of brain overload. My stipulation would be that it's brain over-connectivity rather than brain chemistry. If it were chemistry, we could get an easier one-size-fits-most fix via pharmacology. That it's different wiring altogether is a primary reason why the spectrum is so broad, and thus, so difficult to pin down.

The emotions should be a result of over-sensitivity. You experience things through your senses, and your emotions are basically reactions to and thoughts about what you experience. If someone comes up behind you and puts their hand on your shoulder, you may feel angry due to the shock and surprise of this, if you are sensitive to touch. That may lead you to form a negative opinion of that person, because you now associate negative feelings with them. However, the person maybe thought they were being friendly, and someone who enjoys being touched and is not as sensitive may not have the same reaction when experiencing the same thing.
