You know you are. I know there's at least a few of you on here.

How do you feel about your disorder?

Pretty proud that I have it

Anonymous 02/01/15 (Sun) 13:17:13 No.7201

I fucking hate it.

Growing up through primary school and highschool were the worst years of my life because no one understood me and all I wanted to do was to make friends.

Early years of highschool I had these group sessions with a therapist and two are retards like myself that was complete shit. The therapist was a moron and the idea of trying out social situations with two other retards like me was laughable because we got no where and one of them hated me and refused to interact with me. So in the end I dropped it all.

They also always paired my with the other asperger in our year level which annoyed me because it's essentially telling me that "you both have it, therefore you're both great buddies" which was bullshit cause the guy was a cunt and I had little in common with.

I like to think I have a good grasp with what I have. I have a great group of friends, I have a job and I get along with everyone at my work. However, there is still many unresolved issues I need to iron out and I still have trouble talking about things like this and I feel I'm slowly getting worse. Fuck I haven't talked to anyone about my condition in years.

So that's pretty much how I feel about it.

A painful consciousness. The best thing is the way it lead me to think, but this way of thinking is cold. This is what it is for me. A condemnation to loneliness.

>>7198
I ain't proud but sorta glad to have it. It's another view at things. I'm not hating it but i don't like it either.

It has upsides and downsides.

I have insane determination in doing anything that doesn't involve social interaction or changing my sleep rhythm.
I make video games in my spare time, something which requires me to keep working on the same projects for months if not years. Judging by /agdg/ that's something only few people are able to do.
I also have been playing piano for 20 years and people seem to think I'm a genius.

Downsides are all related to social interaction.
I've managed to lessen my anxiety quite a bit and learned social skills to the point where I can pretend to be a normalfag for a short while. Despite that I still greatly dislike being in a conversation and will generally only do so if I absolutely have to. Just the thought of having to say "hello" to someone is enough to make me cringe.
I've been part of various friend groups, but I don't usually talk much when I'm with them and I usually can't be bothered to keep in touch. I haven't talked to my latest group of friends in months and I'm not sure I ever will again.
I don't really mind not having friends, but I barely go outside anymore and I think it's starting to fuck with my mind. My days are starting to blur to gether and I can barely remember what I did at the end of the day.
I've never had a girlfriend and I don't think I ever will. I guess I'll just have to be content with becoming a wizard. Though that nagging desire for intimacy has gotten a lot stronger in the past year or so.

In any case, I like to think the pros weigh up against the cons.

Mild enough to function semi-normally, but strong enough to have the upsides.

It's like a goddamned superpower.
I focus better than neurotypical cunts. I do everything better, when I put my mind to it. I learn faster, do it better, do it faster, and end up showing them up for their inefficiency.

It makes working a doddle. I'm not constrained by their rules of social interaction, or the desire to gossip, so I can get twice as much done by working instead of talking.
Even better when I get to shut myself away from people and just get on with things.

Anonymous 02/14/15 (Sat) 04:07:17 No.7636

Apparently I have some mild spergers, I'm not so sure though.

I just fucking hate who I am.

IMO asperger without anxiety and depression is 10/10

One person I know who suffers from Aspergers is a fucking tool.
He's stupid as shit and gets mad at shit for no reason.
He thinks he fucking knows it all but is really just stupid as fuck.

This other dude with legitimate autism who can't make eye contact and is really into trains on the other hand is really smart as fuck but you can really tell that there's something wrong with him. But he seems like a pretty cool guy regardless

Borderline aspie here, I might feel totally despondent constantly but at least I can hide my obsessions well.

Being a *channer with autism is an interesting experience. The autism stereotype found on the *chans is at the same time very constraining and very liberating.

Far as I'm concerned, it's everyone else who's unfocused and easily distracted.

So it's not possible to be proud of, say, your hair color or your ancestry?

It's hard to tell if I was misdiagnosed as a kid, or if I'm just such a sperg that I don't realise how much of a sperg I am. Does anyone else feel this way?

Same. I'm angrily jealous at the people that say it's like a superpower. Sure I'm good with numbers and rubix cubes but the end of life sounds great for a myriad of reasons stemming from this syndrome.

People think that feeling is just a phase, but feeling that way since age 9 is a long phase.

I hate it. Doesn't matter where I am, who I'm with, etc

I feel like an alien, it's so disconcerting. Like I know there are things I like and things I have in common with people but the moment I'm around anyone, I stop working right. Say things I don't mean, do things I normally wouldn't, and stutter like a motherfucker. Of course, I have other issues, so it's really only a cog in the machine of sickness.

20% of kids diagnosed with Aspergers don't meet the criteria for diagnosis as an adult. Doesn't mean you were never a sperg, but technically you may not be anymore, though this probably does not ease the burden of being unable to relate to other people. (Technically none of us are, by DSM standards, it was removed in 2013 and combined with high functioning autism.)

I don't see how you can just grow out of it like that unless it was never real to begin with. Is Aspergers not real? Was I made to feel damaged and inferior over something that doesn't exist?

Not a shrink but Ill throw my two cents out.

From my understanding, autism is at its core a learning and developmental disability. The brain is highly malleable, so if its a minor case you can just learn to cope and deal with it. Essentially "growing out of it". At least that's my take.

I was diagnosed PDD NOS which is basically diet aspergers and as an adult I meet none of the criteria for autism spectrum shit. Course I'm bipolar so I got other issues.

I fucking hate people who boast about their autism, thinking they're such a special snowflake and shit

I think I have it. Or regardless of that, hanging out on aspie-related forums and such, I find alot of people with similar problems/mindsets to my own.

Learning about this stuff in my mid 20's has been comforting and helped me understand my life better. In some ways I feel completely relieved because I understand why I have problems with certain things. But also I feel like I am getting worse, I don't know if that's due to my age or due to being able to more clearly see myself and my actions than I could before.

I'm glad I am learning about it because now I feel like I can take the positive aspects and use them and find paths around the negative aspects, instead of just blindly living with all of it with no idea what I'm doing or why.

I'm kinda /pol/ too and I think it's dumb that I get pissed when normie liberal retards spout their PC-approved "lol republicans" bullshit but I feel it's a normal reaction to their pleb stupidity.

ayy lmao

Me too, I feel invisible and like I'm just a friend to everyone else.

It sucks going to uni being 10 years older from everyone, and to my knowledge nobody even knows that I'm on parole or anything. I guess if anyone googled they'd see my criminal history, especially if they couldn't find me on any social media.

Basically fuck normie plebs

some of them are ok

even though I don't make an effort with any of them, at least I'm taking STEM with dat federal aid.

Given up on bitches and whores, took the MGTOW redpill and feels good so far XDDD

Shitty.

I'm not good at anything, but lack the motivation to change it. I'm really depressed and have trouble doing much beyond effortless leisure and what I'm required to. People have always told me I'm intelligent but what's it worth if I can't do anything with it?

I have one IRL friend and he's emotionally distant so I can't discuss things like this with him. Sexuality is nothing but a hindrance, giving me even more social longings I can't fulfill. Normalfags will never understand.
