mechanicalgirl39 is a moron for thinking self-diagnosing is okay.

But hey, according to them, every autistic spaz on welfare is a rocket scientist. Granted some AS lot are smarter than others, but the majority of them aren't special, let's be real honest here. Those who do think this way are deluding themselves because they CAN'T handle the reality that they're an average bum like everyone else, or less than average.

I have no qualms with this attitude, and neither should you. I know I ain't no Einstein. Who gives a f**k - we're thick in our own way.


Calling me a moron is not a substitute for addressing my points.

Fail.

The NT is feeling inferior, so they are attacking someone to make themselves feel better. Besides, the NT wishes they were "special" or part of the "club" that is called AS. The NT doesn't realise that AS is nothing special, its a horrible condition sometimes.

This is a lot of the reason (other than the fact that I don't like socializing in general) that I stopped even trying in life altogether. NTs are living a completely different life. It really is like we're a different species than them (and that's not a bad thing) that's more of a slam on them. So when people tell me to man up and try some job that I'm going to hate and not be able to handle anyway, I say "For what?" I want no part of the outside world unless it involves sex with a cute woman.


Aha there lies the crux of my problem, that and a good live gig. But a restaurant for a couple of hours? No way.

It is indeed horrible... at times. But I don't think the idiot wants to be autistic. He just sounds f***ing stupid.

and yeah sorry folks on topic now:

I'm still not convinced of my own place on the spectrum, but it bloody well answers some questions that forced themselves upon me many years ago - like how I didn't like joining clubs and didn't like labels, even if convenient, because none suited me. Until this one.

The guy saying it's fake is projecting the general concept of hypochrondria onto Aspies, isn't he?
Sure it may happen that someone out there uses it as an excuse, but all I know is I didn't ask for this, did you?

Where I'm from, they call it emo.


Haha Fake whiny white people disease.
Aspies are more than likely emos.

Some people believe Aspergers and ADHD are behavioural conditions due to a lack of discipline.

Parents are too lazy to discipline their naughty child or too scared to be labelled a child abuser by the authorities.

Your naughty child may have Aspergers or ADHD. A diagnosis and a few pills from a doctor can help quiet down the child and not upset the politically correct civil libertarians.

Lol, that sounds SPOT ON!

But, only if you're not autistic. :P

Eh, who cares what people think? Obviously they haven't done their research. AS effects people of any ethnicity.

Most people probably think I'm some hippie communist that loves to burn coal.

I'd probably reply (if I replied at all) "Okay, then I have autism, a majority of us including (probably) myself technically meet the diagnostic criteria for autism anyways, its just that this other subset of autism fits us better than the label of classic autism does."

I agree, personally. I feel very weak, not physically but emotionally. I'm a timid person with a fragile state of mind, and no self-esteem, and having people staring at me every single time I go out is making me feel like I'm some freak, which makes me feel even more unhappy. And I get girls laughing at me all the time (and I don't do anything to look different) and I find it incredibly hard to let it ride over my head, so yes, I must be too weak.

I am very hard on myself though. I blame myself for everything, and when people gawp at me I just know it's because I look stupid, and I don't believe in thinking ''just ignore them'', ''it might be complimental'', ''it's their problem'', etc, because 95 percent of people look at me, and it's become an irrational anxiety causing anxiety, self-hatred, and Agoraphobia.

I am very thin-skinned. If I wasn't so thin-skinned, I think life would be a little bit better for me.

I must admit my first thought was: Who cares what an NT says.

So an NT with a big mouth has insulted you and others with Aspergers. You should close his or her mouth with a punch to his or her mouth. How dare they insult Aspergers?

Stand up my fellow Asperger and fight back for freedom, liberty and justice. If you do not stand up for you, no one else will. Wipe the smile off this jerks face with a hard punch to the mouth when they least expect it.
