  • Well, people are ignorant to believe that prejudice comes in terms of race and color only. There are other ways to be bigoted!

  • @parkercadie1 Very true, and some people wonder why people can be hesitant to be open about having this syndrome.

  • That symbol for Asperger Awareness I always disliked, the rainbow ribbon.

    Though it is apt, rainbows are too universal and cannot be owned by any one group (as it represents them ALL, the Tibetans used the symbol in this way).

    I always thought that AS should be represented by the sun, as it is wholly independent of the mundane things, and illuminates all around it (truth and honesty). Of course, a RAINBOW CORONA around this sun would be so beautiful, it would make sense.

  • Aspergers, Bipolar, Schitzophrenia, Sociopathy - In order of extremity. The reason for these disorders relates to the problem of the human ego. People with Aspergers or people on the "soft" side of the disorder will avoid eye contact, people on the other side or the "hard" side will pursue eye contact in an aggressive manner. We must also remember that these disorders are pronounced in Western soceities, right about the time of vaccines, water flouridation and commercial television.

  • @SecretSoceity When people with Aspergers develop a passion with human psychology, we activley learn how to communicate as a form of control. To control those around us, so they avoid eye contact with us as opposed to the other way around. Its not really "Aspergers" per-se, basically just about every person who has been labelled "different" or people who are "intelligent" "think for themselves" or "unique" - this includes most television celebrities and vocal political leaders - the non-sheep.

  • @SecretSoceity When you get to the core of the issue, most of these psuedo-disorders are really just the way that the "man" or the "institution" labells people who are not "adjusted" and do not conform to the system of soceital control. The regular person is so narrow-minded, brainwashed, conditioned and trained that basically all their behaviours are synchronised in a herd-like manner. Anyone that stands out in a noticable way attracts negative attention - thus people like to stare at us.

  • @LycanthropicAsshole Where did you get the moronic idea that all serial killers had asperger's. That is a completely unfounded accusation. Considering that you want to kill an entire group of the populace just because they have a developmental disorder (which isn't their fault) you appear to have extreme homicidal tendencies. Do everyone unfortunate enough to know you a favor, get the psychiatric help you desperately need.

  • @LycanthropicAsshole: Hey gypsy! Serial killing is not of enough interest to put that much time and devotion into (which takes ALLOT; you have to learn how the victem's emotions to manipulate etc and serial killers do this compulsively for foolish sexual reasons, there is not simply any incentive).

    This accusation is already for the newfags

  • retard

  • I have it also,I was dionosed when I was 4;plus my neurologaligt thinks I have ADD. I destest the pills. I think just.....fixate in my interest becuese I tell myself I must do so in order to succed well in life.

  • Wow I simply say Aspergers is a syndorme and if people with this condition dont accept ti , is going to be quite difficult to bare life with average people I was married to one adult with A. and God he makes my life the most miserable while it lasted , I try hard enough to make him accept this but he refueses and denies it . Rejection is part of A. and agresivness of course , So why dont you chill , and start coping with crtizism here , all channels here are to help not to harm !!

  • Regarding "syndrome": there is no such "thing" as a syndrome, rather, "syndrome" is a value judgement. Psychiatrists make value judgements in order to have customers on which to prey. "Normal" is also a value judgement, meaning self-sufficient and not easily conned.

    It is the ownership of weakness to wear someone else's negative value judgement as a badge of honor. It is a rejection of weakness to flip the finger to all those who demean or flatter. Live strong, live hard, live smart.

  • Syndrome does exist. Syndrome indicates if something is a disorder or not(normally head disorder). It separates its classification from things like cancers, viruses, bacteria, and parasites. It is not a value judgement rather a scientific term.

  • NO, you don't understand what a "value judgement" is. The mere rising of a thought to make any classification is a value judgement. There are no "scientific" thoughts or terms. I am trying to help, but you resist seeing. I have given helpful links, but you are not accessing that info. See Nietzsche "On Truth and Lie in an Extra Moral Sense". Read his words, not anyone else's interpretation of them. ALL: human thought is based in value judgement.

  • It is not the value judgement I am upset about. Call a syndrome what you want. I am upset that you consider all Aspies to be weak. We are not all weak and that is what I am trying to explain. I know the struggles I will have to go through, but that only makes me stronger. Also, one man's paper will not change my mind(I am very stubborn from my father). At this point, I don't think either of us understand what we are fighting about. I'm ready to stop if you are ready to stop arguing.

  • To the contrary, and with trial and error, my psychiatrists have managed my SYMPTOMS with MEDICATIONS, which IS the answer for me, and the multiple medications have improved my life, for the better SIGNIFICANTLY, with VERY MINIMAL side effects! "Talk therapy" has NEVER helped me and I don't partake in talk therapy! But that is just my experience.

  • ticks4ticks: "Aspergers" is just a place on the spectrum of consciousness and it is not generally thought to be characterized by a deficit/overabundance of any neurotransmitters. The lack of power that Aspies experience brings depression since depression is a lack of power that manifests as rampant rumination. Some of the psych meds can reduce rumination but they do not address the cause. Over time the psych meds will wreck your brain - you will keep taking larger amounts until nothing works.

  • "talk therapy" from psychiatrists & most psychologists is worthless - both of those professions are filled with weak, horrible human creatures - decadents. The Aspie needs talk therapy from titans, however they are too busy to be bothered, but some have written books and those can be read to great advantage. Life coaches and personal trainers are better than psychs because they help to attain real power. Happiness is not possible without power. Meds don't bring happiness or power.

  • Your "experience" is superficial, as are most that don't involve a flux of power. the less intelligent think they are being very, very clever when they cite as uninvalidatable "my experience". By that simple logic Shiva the goddess with eight arms would acutally exist if you had seen her in a hallucination, or if belief in her made you happy. The money you spend or is spent by others on you meds can be far better spent on good clothes and travel. You will never experince much power on meds.

  • talk therapy doesnt work in this case

  • I'm glad that someone put up an Asperger's awareness video.  This will definitely be in my autism playlist.

  • Most of the comments by the Aspies reveal that they are weak. It is not the responsibility of the strong to give a damn about you. That is a slave-morality. You will never win that game - give it up. Do what you can to get power and money. Forget all the whining. Life is short - are you goint to whine your way through it? The music selection is whiny. Try living with the dalits in India - they have a reason to whine.

  • Weak? You think that we are weak? The weak person is the one who has to go on the computer to attack people with the disorder. We are not weak. Would a weak person create the planet's deadliest weapon? Or would a weak person create modern physics? All of these people had AS(Einstein and Newton) so you have no right to talk. We are not weak. I made my journey myself.

  • Yes you are weak - the defensive tone of your response is the proof of that. Niether Einstein nor Newton was an aspie. It is a weakness based trend in psychiatry to assign diagnosis to persons of history without ever examining them in person - what scientist would be so unscientific? Einstein had nothing to do with the A-bomb or H-bomb. I am trying to help the aspies. Read Nietzsche, the philosopher of power, one of Einsteins fav authors. I have every right to talk -I am one of the strong.

  • Calling us weak is no help at all. I don't need your help. The only help I've ever needed from this disorder came from my mother and psychiatrist. Yes, I am defensive because I had to put up with people like you and I did. I proved I was better and smarter. The stronger ones are the ones who stand up to defend a characteristic they posess. Also, Einstein did have something to do with the bombs. Does the Theory of Relativity come to your mind? You are not any help to us aspies at all.

  • Also, the way that Newton acted led psychiatrists to believe that he had AS. He was not very social, unusually brilliant, did not make much eye contact, etc. Same thing with Einstein. People learn a lot by reading records of these people.

  • Acrtually the Theory of Relativity has nothing to do with the A-bomb. The team leader for the A-bomb was Robert Oppenhiemer. For the H-bomb it was Jon von Neuman. Einstein was purposely excluded from the A-bomb project.

    You are still weak. It is only the strong ones who will make you strong, as you have admited. Your shrink has not helped you, that is obvious. There is no good data on Newton's eye contact. anecdotes don't count. Newton was a strong man. The strong dominate the weak.

  • Hey, I don't care what you think. You are one in six billion(approximate). Also, out of all the things you can comment on, you say the eye contact. What about the lack of social skills and brilliance. Yes, there are more symptoms. You know nothing and never will. This conversation is over.

  • Stop being defensive and making silly defensive comments like "You know nothing and never will". You are the one who does not know physics, who is poorly read and rejects good advice. You & virtually all others in the care of a shrink are slave-moralists. Read Nietzsche's "Geneology or Morals". "Brilliance" does not matter unless it brings power and money. "social skills" are power game skills. If you will be honest your situation will improve. Sack your shrink, and re-hire as your servant.

  • You want me to be honest, fine. I do know nothing about physics. The last time I was in physics was in the 6th grade. I do know a lot about biology and chemistry. Also, where would we be without AS. The reason we are typing is because of an aspie. I know a lot about AS, enough to know that we are not weak. Our social skills improve during adulthood. I plan to be a psychiatrist and make a lot of money. If that isn't strong, then I don't know what is.

  • You want to be a psychiatrists because your shink has flattered you. If you want to help the weak, you can do more as a personal coach. Your sense of logic is self-referential. Typing and internet would have been invented anyway, aspie or not. Good ideas are not the sole terrain of the aspie. All invention builds on previous invention, thus credit and blame can be assigned back into time for perpetuity.

    Social skills imporve in adulthood as you are freed from the misguidance of adults.

  • If Aspies had all the power, they would declare themselves normal, and put diagnosis on all those who offend them. That is a part of the Theory of Relativity.

    A strong person does not want much to do with the weak. As a shrink, your days will be half filled with the company of the confused and atrocious of humanity. They will wear you down and depress you. More shrinks commit suicide than any other MD. Today, most doctors have been turned into servants of businessmen or bureaucrats.

  • Slash of Guns 'n Roses has more power than any doctor. Another powerful man is Pres. Mahinda Rajapaksa who just defeated the Tamil Tiger terrorists once and for all. His behind is now being kissed by most world leaders.

    He has worked for the upliftment of the poor and will transform Sri Lanka like King Ashoka transformed much of India many years ago. True power is more than money - it is the ability to requite kindness for kindness, blow for blow.

    Power begets respect which begets friends.

  • I know I can help people and I don't care how depressed I get. I just want to make a difference in people's lives and this is how I want to do it.

  • I want to be a psychiatrist because of the inspiration that Temple Grandin has given me. As well as my parents and grandparents.

  • Good luck in medical school! Better have a solid straight A record! And a well-rounded, diverse education! This includes organic chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, physics, and more!

  • Thanks. The only class I may have problems in is physics, but I'm sure I'll get an A in it when I start college(I'm still in High School). IB will help me out with the other subjects. Thanks for the support.

  • All animal life including human is about power. The Aspie is weak, and will usually be dominated, and will get worse over time - more dominated, unless they are helped by someone who explains life as will to power. Therapists are usually weaklings, and thus the wrong type to help an Aspie. Only the strong can help the weak. But the weak one must rise up to the challenge - else the strong one's time is being wasted. Poor eye contact is a power issue - a sign of weakness.

  • I have aspergers. I'm not a fucking retard though.I never liked being called that.

  • I'm sorry people called you that :(

  • Sorry I also have asperger and I dont fine this movie any good at all. 30 seconds of work about a subject thats bigger then that. so much details are left out to many.

  • 1000% Respect to the person who made this, and to all people with AS.

    Spinergy - Roll with me

  • aspergers is not a syndrome! Its a variation in humans. without aspergers we wouldn't have bill gates, albert einstein, issac newton, and alan turing and many more.... you wouldn't even be on your computer right now if it wasn't for aspergers... aspergers ftw!!!

  • How can you say Aspergers is not a syndrome? Just because famous people have it, doesnt mean its a 'variation' instead of a syndrome.

    I have it, will I invent something people all over the world will use? Probably not.

    If you dont believe me, do some actual research instead of just assuming you know what you're talking about.

  • Certainly every human is unique & valuable thanks to our inherent uniquenesses, but pretending it's not a syndrome is like pretending my skin is purple.

  • But your skin is not purple. That's a fact. aspergers is different. It wasn't even identified until 60 years ago? Its like not noticing someone's purple skin for thousands of years.

  • You could my skin pink or white or tan & still be correct. It is still a fact that high functioning autism has separate diagnostic criteria than Aspergers in more than jus the U.S.

  • p.s. 60 yrs ago we also didn't know that seatbelts would save lives & today we now know that toddlers are 5 times safer in rear-facing carseats.

    When we know more/better, we do more/better. Pretending Aspergers isn't real does a huge disservice to all Aspies.

  • 60 years ago we discovered how to make weapons of mass destruction. Now we wish we didn't. Maybe in 2 years time people will discover a NEW retarded syndrome called "WeShouldn'tPretendThereIsntAS­yndromeCalledAspergers" Actually.. we have discovered it now!! Ok so do you know anyone with "WeShouldn'tPretendThereIsntAS­yndromeCalledAspergers" Because they are fucking retards and should die and fist themselves in hell :)

  • I do have a child with Aspergers & a couple friends' kids are high functioning Autistic. They are different.

    p.s. are you not aware that the R word is as offensive as the N word? Or are you clueless on all fronts? Or simply lacking all care?

  • please if you use the internet u gotta understand theres alot of immature kids like me. btw im sorry you got kids with autism. I just want to defend my beliefs

  • just becouse it wasn't identified until 60 year ago doesn't mean that it didn't exsist or doesn't excist it just means that there wasn't a name for it. Most ppl back than that acted different were just writen off. We are learning more and more about things we had no name for. It is a syndrome and ppl need to be educated on it. Anyone can be born with it and if it is one of your children or yourself than you will need to know how to cope. Life is tough even w/out an imparment.

  • Autism in general wasn't identified until 60 years ago. Are you saying autism is not a disorder? It is a disorder and AS is a syndrome. If you are going to say it wasn't identified until 60 years ago, then think about the other forms.

    P.S. Sorry for the late reply. This is my first time seeing this video.

  • Pretending it's not a syndrome is equivalent to pretending that WE are the new normal. I wish we were....

  • i like the music dude i am a aspergers kid too thank you for supporting us

  • Great video! I have Asperger's myself, and anyone who thinks that this syndrome does not exist is a heartless moron. Yes, there are people out there that are shy and aloof that do not have aspergers, but what sets aspergers off from just your run of the mill person who is shy is having a compilation of behavioral symptoms. Also, no one has the right, except for professionals and the person (and family if that person is a very young child) to diagnose or "undiagnose" someone.

  • ummm, yeah, that's because you don't HAVE the illness we do.

  • oops and I don't view it as an illness necessarily.

  • booo you suck i have aspergers and people should respect that u dont know how hard we have it so back off dude

  • oh the humanity....

  • Don't forget that the puzzle ribbon usually stands for those that want to eliminate us, not those that want to help us.

  • i might have AS and it is fucking disturbing as i thought i was "normal", still i will go on with my life maybe my psychology career will help me to get over this AS issue

  • Will all of you immature posters stop teasing us with this 'assburger' thing? I look to a bright and wonderful future for my friends and I with AS, and it would hurt you just as bad if we replied the same way you did. Show some love and respect more often like we were born to do.

  • Yes, thank you!

    I totally agreed.

    Those idiots have to go the F*$K away!

    Excuse my language.

  • No problem! I'd say exactly the same thing.

  • No, I don't think I have asperger's, btw.

    I've always just found eye contact to be stress-inducing for some reason.

  • You can fake eye contact by focusing on people's eyebrows.

    I've been doing it all my life because people used to bitch about it.

    No one has noticed yet.

  • heck i cant even do that

  • Randal you're a shit head do you not realize that there are people watching this video, and that it is really offensive to post a comment like that. Think before you speak, if you think "assburgers" which is really aspergers, is seriously bad, then you don't clearly understand what it is, take some time to understand what it is before pressing the post button.

  • whats so funny about that mr.dumb?

  • yo spearchuckinnigger aspergers is no joke. and people who say they have it are not retards. and I have it also. so don't say that we are retards

  • What is with the music? It is gets on my nerves. This is not a music video it is an educational vid----sick of this

  • i hear you. in fact, in some communities listening to a certain music can be a form of torture! Aahhh!

  • I have to agree, the choice of music is not the greatest. I mush prefer silent videos if they're not actual videos of something. Only certain types of music don't make me want to throw up. But of course, that's why we have mute buttons.

    Anyway, good, short and to the point. Don't now how you managed it, I'm so pedantic my video would have been 5 minutes long and say the exact same thing.

  • When is Aspergers Awareness??? I know theres an Autism awareness, is it also autism awareness? Or is it different?

  • they are the same aspergers is high functioning autism

  • No, they're not the same. There are hundreds of ways the people fit the autism spectrum, but Aspergers & high functioning autism are different. Although it might be said, arguably, that Aspergers is a highER functioning form of high functioning autism.

  • Fine please support Aspergers,and when people wrap you up in cotton wool or say in public to people "he doesn't know what he is saying" or speak on your behalf even when your present. Then tell me if you want to support it.

    I have a great time trying to stand up for myself to people who are too stupid, them selfs to change the television remote battery's so they wait for me to come back from Russia.

    At the end of the day I value peoples views but I will never let someone speak on my behalf.

  • I've got aspergers syndrome and I don't WANT to be supported. As far as I'm concerned I'm just a normal teenager and there are so many "normal" people that are far more retarded than any autistic kid.

  • Good man at the end of the day every human is unique there is not base line to compare normal humans from so calling un-normal ones

  • for your information aspergers does exist. How do I know? - I have it

  • I labeled with "Aspergers" but please tell me this, if I were to give you my blood, urine ,shite, brain sample etc could you use it to make biological framework that would give 100% diagnosis?

    Answer is sadly no! Aspergers does not exist but you know what if you do look in the DSM you will find "Mathematics Disorder" Which I think everyone has!

  • ...i have ligth Aspergers and god forbidts it i have a hard time somtimes... goddammit stop writing these tings... Mathematics disorder does not include som of the symptomes... and by the way nearly 90 of all psykologial sikkneses are some that one can not get a 100% diagnosis for... for example the one just need 7 out of 10 things to be an skitzo... so if you got a split personalety and parnoya then you are not skitzo... even if 9 out of 10 people won't be able to see the difference

  • Please forgive me if I am misled, Were you trying to say that mathematics disorder is not part of the Autistic spectrum if so then Yes I support that.

    The reason I used that as a example was to show how ludicrous the DSM is, thats the holy grail of psychiatrists it is a reference book they use to gain a diagnosis

  • Finally someone with some sense! zigma182 is right!

  • as a 44year old male with aspegers i make eye contact but people say i stare

  • Is that the NAAR Ribbon? Don't these people know that stands for opression?

  • Whether you call it a disability or not, It's certainly a very serious impairment to social function.

  • spefi: get help.

  • check out the vids by jdplvy

  • it is not the case that all or even most AS sufferers possess above average intelligence or "special areas of talent"

  • You brought up a good point. When people hear the word "autism," the first thing that comes to their mind is Rain Man. I'm not Rain Man, damn it!So quit expecting me to be a human calculator! Only one in ten people on the autism spectrum have a special talent or skill. It annoys me that people expect you to be some kind of savant, and then they don't believe that you really have AS when you are not.

  • The Aspies with ADHD tend to be prone to rages. Judging from your outburst, it sounds like you need your meds adjusted. "go die in a fire your king of faggotry" If you must spew out invectives like that, at least learn some punctuation. You can pick up a cheap copy of Elements of Style by Struck and White at Half Priced Books.

  • spefi please grow up a little bit. Eye contact is hard for may of us with AS. I am an ADULT Aspie mom of three kids on the spectrum and am con cerned that your behaviors will reflect badly on my children if they are grouped together with you. Your ranting has nothing to do with your ADHD or your AS it is just plain bad manners. My oldest has AS and ADHD and is unmedicated and does not behave as poorly as you.

  • Why dont all of you negative people go argue on your own sites?

  • Eye contact is not hard, you just choose not to.

    Before you start to complain about ganging up on you, I am labeled with "aspergers" and "adhd".

    I can also put down 1k pounds on a bet no one can prove either exists and still win all the time

  • Odd you tube name :) name please tell me are you a Scientologist (looking at your profile and vids) I'm not but I would rather not get any directly involved

  • I'm agnostic.

  • WOW! Great video. Congratulation's on being an autistic person who can put together such a video. You must be very high functioning to be able to do such a complex task.

  • Asperger's is a very high-functioning form of autism. It's so subtle that many of us didn't learn what we are until much later in our lives. I didn't find out until I was 44. Of course, it didn't make it into the DSM until 1994 when I was already 32.

  • Asperger Syndrome is not a disability ... basically affects social skills not all brain functions

  • Hey Emma! Small world! It me your friend! ;) Hi Emma!

  • this is the only decent song Keane ever did :p

    nice vid but you can't read all the text

  • The puzzle ribbon is used by cure supporters, just so you know. The sign for Aspergianism is the rainbow infinity sign.

  • I cringed at the puzzle ribbon, as it's used mainly by curebies.

  • that says that misunderstandings may cause self harm.

  • nice video, one screen i couldn't read the words with the red stripe

  • yeah I know
