I cried when I realized I was an aspie as well. I was always the black sheep and treated like there was something wrong with me even in my family. It was such a validation when i learned about aspergers.
im, 12, ive been diagnosed with aspergers syndrome, i am very creative, i talk fast, i sometimes talk silently to myself, and i too only like to wear what i want to!!!
I took the AQ test online and I scored 37, plus I have always suspected something is wrong with me cause I talk to myself alot and speak outloud and re enact situations with myself, especially when Im around lound music it messes up my head,
One thing about the look you mention is people alot of the time come to me and ask me if I am ok? Just random people. Alot of the time I try to do the smile to make them stop before they come over to me(i think it is because I watch people to see how they act) but sometimes I forget to smile and they come over and I have to think alot of times of things to say to make them go away. I used to have a problem with lying but now I know you have to tell them what they want to hear to make them leave.
I scored 40 on the Asperger's Syndrome Test. I already had thoughts of being an auspie, I most likely do. I have seen that I don't conform to social norms and I've also been bullied because I was different. Now I'm going to a highly prestigious science and math oriented school. And yes I'm really good at science so much that it usually impairs my social skills, since its what I find interesting.
@Hawkx101 I got a 41 I'm currently waiting to get the go-ahead for testing from TEACCH but I don't like that test because it doesn't take in account age which is a bigger factor in more accurate testing. There are better tests out there if you score high on this one try the more intensive ones.
I got 32 and I fit almost every symptom. My family is large and I've never been to a psychiatrist/psychologist and very rarely a regular doctor. How would I go about getting tested for Asperger's? Would my school guidance counselor be able to help?
The hormone oxytocin has been shown to be effective in treating autistic spectrum disorders in experimental subjects. More studies are needed, but oxytocin appears to hold promise for treating this very difficult to treat set of disorders
I have to say, I think you're hilarious. I love your description "sorry if I offended you, but I think you're boring." lol. I also think you have one of the most awesome accents I've ever heard. I'm sorry you were bullied as a child, that was really cruel of the other children, and there really is no excuse for that. At any rate, thank you for the great video, it has furthered my suspicions (I got a 31 on the test, took it again and got a 32), and it was very interesting.
i got result 33? i feel the same as you about things. only i have 3 children to cope with and its hard. i want to go to doctors but im afraid he will think i cant care for my children. only imf finding day to day life very very hard. x thankyou for any comment?
I took the test and got 13. What does that mean? I always thought I had some type of social anxiety, but it could be aspergers. I don't know if I have the disorder or if my lack of social interaction as a child is the reason for my poor social skills.
also i am sometimes weird and i enjoy just being myself and some of these things did relate to me because i do have a natural tired look on my face with bags under my eyes, and i enjoy my solitude, i took that test and answered all the questions truthfully and scored a 13, like i said in my previous comment i would like more specifics because everywhere i go to look for info i always get a vague answer
this sounds like something a lot of normal people would do, like having a place where they can feel safe, or bags under their eyes, or people just wanting to be themselves. i think this video should be more specific because there are a lot of people especilly in todays society that are flambouyant and expressive.
I scored a 33 on that test... I don't know what to think. I know I'm not dumb, and I could have easily avoided getting a higher number, but I did answer them honestly as best I could. Could you respond to this, or maybe with just a PM with some other tests. I currently have no way to check otherwise, and I thought you might be more aware of some useful ways to check further into this.
My mother has an anxiety disorder; I'm glad I can finally start therapy tommorrow so I can find out sooner or later what is wrong with me.(If there is anything wrong with me; please note when I say wrong I'm just saying disorders.)
I scored a 30, which is pretty consistent with my current impression of my relation to aspergers. So much in the descriptions of it seems like me and it would be a kind of relief to have a name to put on what I've experienced, but some things make me question the attempted self-diagnosis, like some of the OCD-like aspects of aspergers which would be a big stretch to apply to me. Maybe the autism spectrum is really broader than the conditions that are currently described.
i think the people who are not diagnosed with this problem are the real ones with issues because they are mindless zombies who copy and want to deo everything they see others do or what they see on tv. i belieeve AS people have a little more sense.
idk, it seems like people with aspergers see the world for what it really is, a piece of shit! ive noticed that the things people with AS dont like, i get irritated about as well. this shouldnt be a syndrome because i think people havving that attitude is ok. i mean, who does like small talk? i sure dont lol
my signs are showing up clearly that I have some form of high functioning autism I also don't look people in the eyes, my eyes wonder around the place as I speak and people usually ignore me because they think I'm talking to myself, also I speak really fast and continuously and people sometimes can't catch what I'm saying.... are these clear signs? I am thinking of seeking help. I'm 23 years old and I haven't been diagnosed only because my mother keeps denying that I have it:( and it's annoying.
I also don't say hi and if i have to I'm actually forcing myself too. I also find it awkward when people wave at me, I rather smile back than wave back and even my smile is being forced. I'm not trying to be rude when i don't wave back, but I just feel awkward to do so. I also do repetitive movements like finger movements as I talk because it's my way of processing and if they stop me I will find other ways of moving like rocking... and they ask me if I could just stop! but I can't! I need to
hey there, thanks for posting the video it was helpful for me. I would like to ask you a question, is it possible that the signs don't show up as children or most parents just don't realise it? because I seem to speak my mind and people shout at me or even beat me up because they think I was trying to be rude and I wonder why they do that to me:( and it seriously confused me everytime when people ask me to think before I speak.... that seriously confuses me...
Ok, I'm interested in one thing about you and your brother. You keep talking about a single Asperger's test (presumably the one you have in your video desctiption). Is that the test you and your brother took and are you basing your idea that you are an asperger purely on that test, because it's not really accurate for a serious diagnosis, this doesn't mean a psychologist would give you a diagnosis. Do you have a real medical diagnosis?
@Ylviste Yes, we obviously have an actual diagnosis lest we'd not say that we had Asperger's. x.x Seriously, the way I keep ranting on about stuff in my videos, are you really doubting that I have AS or something? I've heard people say that several times, am I gonna have to make a video showing my diagnois?
That test is horse shit half the questions could be summed up by asking "Are you a social person" and if you arent a social person your obviously going to score above that 16-point whatever the fuck average.
Again, don't take me as trying to sound like an arrogant idiot, please.
Anyhow, can all my experiences be connected to asperger's syndrome?
If so, how can I check it out. I really have no idea how to precede with this, will it effect my entire life (or anymore than it has already done).
One thing I have discovered on numerous occasions, people often misunderstand me, almost in every possible way. Some people even think I am insulting them, when I actually said it as a compliment. Humans...
This was quite interesting. I am 17 years old, I have never had the ability to "interact" well with other people, my own interests took all the time, and I certainly didn't like interacting with most of the people. Honestly I have only met 1 person I found enjoyable to be with. I finished high school when I was 15, started learning physics by the age of 12. Don't take me as being arrogant or something, please don't, people often misunderstand me.
Some people might have it but, some people don't and get pushed to take drugs they don't need and "see mental health professionals" they can barely afford.
Growing up I would Rock compulsively for long periods. I would concentrate building stacks of cards, and follow consistent patterns. I could never look people in the eye (it hurts). I grind my teeth , and press the tips of my fingers together, as it seems to relieve stress. I have terrible social skills- I have no clue how to start a conversation. I have deep and random interests that spur from time to time. I am kinesthetically akward - and I have been told so, too many times to count.
@Adkit2 ... meet me some day ill fix your aspergers syndrome by kicking your ass several times ... and no need to pay me for that , i help people for free
@Charlie12241 He said "some illness like aspergers", it is not an illness, it does not have medication and thus his point is stupified. And if you're saying that his point still stands even though it's dumb then that's a completely different conversation since I didn't actually comment on that, I just said that AS doesn't have medication.
You defined me pretty well,ive always had baggy eyes,I also get really nervous when in groups even with friends,holding hands always makes me sick to my stomach,and on many occasions ive been called ruded for saying something that just seems normal to me.I also toke the test and only got a 26 but to make sure could it be that I am getting aspergers or is it just me being a little weird?
By the way, I scored a 27. It's not the fact that I don't have an imagination, it's just the fact when I was younger I didn't have a large one. I don't prefer to express my imagination through playing games. I prefer to do so in my poems/songs. Now I've opened my eyes and understand. I'm often told I surpass peers my age in knowledge and wisdom, but I can often be annoying. In case you don't know, I'm rooting for all the kids with aspergers. Don't give up. Aspergers is no fun. Don't hate on us.
I'm 14. I was diagnosed with aspergers a few years ago back when I was 7. I'm pretty much in a good condition with it, the fact remains that despite I am able to talk to family members/friends/adults easily, I find talking to people I don't know a bit difficult. I used to be a kid cooped up in his room all day, now I'm someone who actually socializes with the rest of his kind. I may not be the best person on the face of the earth, Hey, it's all right. I've come to understand why I want to live.
@TevinTheSage How did you learn to socialise? I taught my self to swing arms when walking, and to hold eye contact, but it was hard work, and i still cant socialise, I hardly socialise with family members. Usually im in my room reading medical books (one of my obsessions). I worry about people a LOT. But i find it impossible to show it emotionally.
@MrJasonSmarts I use words. I have no problem talking. I just have problems showing facial expressions. I am very outgoing, I just have to be able to use it. In a lot of things, I can be good at something. I just have to grab hold of the potential. So you don't exactly have to show it emotionally through facial expressions/sounds/hand movements, you can just say something. I can talk easily as long as it's something that's in my experience range. If It's a subject I don't understand, it's hard.
@HappyJulietMusic No. x.x I'm an aspie with an official diagnois who found out about AS through a short test that my psychologist gave me before he realized that I might have AS and starting the heavy duty testing. And after that I wanted to find more and more tests to see if it really fit me.
I have a wtf face, and I have bags under my eyes, I have aspergers and I didnt know those were possible traits, but I raise my eyebrows slightly so I don't look pissed, this was a pretty good video, love you!
Well shit. Thanks for this video man, I'm definitely one of the weird ones, scored 30 on the test so looks like AS is why I am the way I am. Stumbled upon this randomly while doing one of my information/research binges for no reason. Have the same "fuck this" look and slight bags under the eyes appearance, hell we even look similar. Have an IQ of 148. I'm great 1 on 1 with people, clueless when there's a group. I spend tons of time alone away from people and love every minute of it. Oh well.
Oooh. I have always wondered why I have bags under my eyes ALL the time; that explains it! I don't have a diagnosis but I suspect that I have AS. I also scored 39 on the test and get called weird on a daily basis.
@Adkit2 I really like your video - it made me smile.
omg i totally know what you mean by that look on their eyes, theres this guy with aspergers i know, really nice guy, and he has an almost exagerated version of what you mentioned, his facial exprression really does look like "fuck life. fuck everything." O_O
@yuzk2 I also look like I couldn't give shit about most things or people, by my facial expression at least,lol.Guess our mimics are on stand by.Oh well, another way to conserve energy that can be used on getting into details on stuff. <3 yumyumyum
You really helped. I want to know if I have Asperger's. This is why. As you said, too many people really can make me feel tense and just bad. Sometimes, big sounds can really hurt me too.I also tend to like things other people around me don't. I like watching anime and I'm insanely interested physics even before we got it in school. What I should also note is that I just do things my way, and try to keep everything going as I want when doing a group project.I don't like spending time with family
Thank u so much!! My son is 8.. I started to notice some " diferent" ways on him.. He doesn't get it.. That he is being rude, and I don't want to to start calling him "weird" or telling/ making him feel bad about himself..
@adkit2 I'm 26 and think I might have aspergers. The more I learned about it, the more I became open to the possibility of having it. I also noticed I always had certain narrow interests that I would go really hard at, and have an i.q of 146. I took the AS test you provided in the link and got a score of 37. I'm honestly not surprised. I'll talk to a psychologist. Thanks for the help.
I haven't been diagnosed. I heard about asperger's syndrome over the internet and decided to find out more about asperger's syndrome. Surprisingly I have almost all of the symptoms of asperger's. I'm very quiet, not because I'm shy. It's more to do with the fact that I'm really just awkward. Socially. I don't know what to say to people. I can't read people's body language either. The only time I speak up is when I'm giving a speech or when I'm talking about something I'm interested in.
i scored 32, but was very unsure of the question, but i think i might have Asperger.
how i act sometimes wierd, maybe abit paranoia if that how you spell it,(noises or some. fantasisze, also have bags under eyes like you said. very hard to say things with out a guide to help me to get it out to under stands, very hard to understand situation of things(so much drama its so frustrating) same goes for intention is she/he good or not good (evil) gah >-< not very good when comes to cordination
I think I might have a mild case of AS, because I have a couple of the symptoms like: How happy I was when I got my own room with a door that locks (and I get really annoyed when someone unlocks my door), and when I was younger I decided I like math and I got really good grades with it, but then I decided I didn't like the graphs, so my math skill lowered a bit, but I'm good at it as long as there aren't graphs. I took the test and it said I got 28, so is that a mild case?
@HPManiac123 Like I said: you can take the test and get 0 and still have Asperger's. It's not a real test, just a kind of suggestion to tell you what most aspies would be like. If you yourself think that you have AS then the best thing and the only thing to do is to ask a psychologist about it.
No. It's actually better to go immediately to an Asperger's centre. Most psychologists aren't really specialised on Asperger syndrome so it's actually better to go to a therapy centre because psychologists also won't start any treatment. Believe me. That's the better way in my experience...
i think i might have a mild form of aspergers. ive looked up the symptoms and i found that they are similar to how i act and perceive the world around me. I dont consider myself antisocial but i do get in awkward situations where im not sure how to act. just like you said, im good at talking to people one on one but when it comes to being in groups, i tend to be intimidated by too many people. i think it has to do with what you said about sensory overload that ppl like us have to deal with.
I am a 25 y/o chef in Chicago. I have always felt the things you describe. Every once in a while I would hear people talk about aspergers like I may have it. Recently, I have done research into it over the last few months and I am almost convinced I am the same, I have had a lot of problems growing up(my mom was diagnosed with MS when i was 3) I started having problems in school around age 12(aced all my tests). I also have had grave's disease and had my thyroid removed(im untreated atm)
I took the ASQ (Autism Spectrum Quotient) test and I scored 35. Also, I'm a computer junky ;) Programming, hardware, websites, etc... obsessed with it, really. That and other things (particularly science, religion, etc). Sunglasses FTW (even on cloudy days, I know I look weird too). For me, it's more about light, but... exposure, social anxiety. Staying/keeping private, etc.
I got a 32.. Im turning 15 and just recently ive been learning about this syndrome and I really wanna get checked but I have no idea how to ask my mom about it.. Any tips on that?
@PS3dude95 Don't worry kid, a number can tell allot but also so very little. Supposidally I got asperghers which kept me in spec ed for 12 years I personally socred a 38 it doesnt mean that 38 makes me a demon. Its also very misdignosed as well. Its not a disability its an ability with some slight drawbacks that can be combated. Allot of top end engineers like for lockheed have autsium/asperghers and look what they made. Find an intest and excell,expand and go.
@rapist41 OOOOH! Horrible grammer. oh lawdy lawdy no not meh grammer I feel so horrible that I do injustice towrds the english language just beacuse I cant spell a few words right and I'am afraid that if I missplace a letter in a word the world would end AS WE KNOW IT! OH NO SOME KID ON THE INTERNET USES BAD GRAMMER!? OH WHAT WOULD THE WORLD DO!?
@Jaket2000 dude i have aspergers im just trolling around and my previous comment was just random it wasnt sarcasim or a joke im befreinding you i like you im not joking.
@midnull I guess the fact that I'm talking generally speaking and that I specifically mention that several times is somehow lost on you. I'd prefer it if you didn't fail trolling on my videos.
Thank you for witty insight into your condition. My 8yr old son has aspergers and I know it's a real challenge for him in school. He is a great kid if not totally misunderstood by his peers and adults alike and I'm so very proud of all his achievements. I think I'll show him your video because I think he will really appreciate what you have to say. Goodluck, Breen
whoa, I just took the test you posted and I got a 43. :( ...however the questions didn't even cover some of the main "symptoms" of AS. such as I always here people say that lacking empathy is a big one, and massive intellect is another one.
@SaraESainsbury You don't have to lack empathy at all. It's more like... you have problems understanding feelings sometimes. Or that you can't quite express yourself the way normal people can. People with AS don't have to be assholes who can't care for others, that's just poppycock.
@Adkit2 Thank you for clearing that up for me. Now with that understood, I feel like I fully understand myself for the first time in my whole life. I went through all of my years at school being thrown into the special education classes without any diagnoses even though I was smarter than everyone else. I have audio processing disorder, which is also common amongst AS people, and here I am almost 30 years old finally figuring out why I am the way I am, and it's actually a huge relief for me.
I relate to EVERYTHING you said, including a new thing I haven't heard before, the awful dark marks under my eyes that I've had all my life that make me look tired and unhealthy. Other videos, I only relate to somewhat, but this is right on. The only "symptom" that I don't relate to on some level is this: I am very empathetic towards others, and I want to help others. What can you say about that? Anyways, my psychiatrist is helping me go through the testing for AS. Also, I bite myself, you do?
@SaraESainsbury also, when I've taken the test in the past I got a 38, but my IQ is only 126, I know that's above average but not genius. (I have no fashion sense though haha)
@SaraESainsbury My IQ is only 130. That's 30 above the average. Now imagine someone with average IQ... they're pretty stupid, right? Then imagine someone with 30 LESS than the average. That's 70... 70 is the limit of where you become officially retarded. Ergo 30 above average is pretty good.
@midnull I'm not emo at all! I think people that are emo are odd. I have had all the traits all my life, and other traits that are all associated with AS and my psychiatrist believes I may have it and has been working with me to get a diagnosis. You have NO IDEA what it has been like to be me all my life, wondering why I've always felt out of place, and not understand others, and not even understand myself, and not be able to change the way I think. you have some nerve! I came here for support.
@SaraESainsbury You shouldn't waste your time on him, I only get two types of comments on these videos. The first type is from people telling me how they recognize themselves in my words and how I'm helping them understand... the second type is from people saying "omg u r retardedz becuz I dun undersand uuu!1" which to me doesn't sound very worth thinking about.
I rarely get people actually literally hating on Asperger's. So don't worry about it.
@Adkit2 Thank you. for a minute there I felt like I was back in elementary school...or perhaps that person still IS. Most people are very nice and tolerant with me. :)
@midnull and I definitely don't bite myself my arms when I'm nervous, I bite them out of frustration because I don't know how to handle my emotions, I've done that all 29 (almost 30) years of my life. (since I had teeth). And I wish I could sleep, I have to take ambien, I've had problems trying to sleep my whole life.
Amazing, I'm only thirteen and I somehow share quite a few of these qualities. I don't even know if I have asperger's syndrome but if I keep seeing these videos I think I might actually get the thought to research asperger's.
Normal people aren't boring, they're obnoxiously dull (and others of my age, well either just plain dumb or share some interests but no real glaring simularities). AND WHY AM I GOING ON SO MUCH?
Wow 49 pages of Comments. It does not surprise me. Asperger Syndrome is the golden child of overly diagnosed maladies in America. Parents pay Doctors and crooked Disability Adm officials to have their kid tagged with this. The kid will then get a $check$ every month with the parents as payee.
I have bad news for you. Sadly, you are NOT weird enough to score empathy sex from women. It gives me no joy to inform you of that fact.
@xxxMrSuspendedxxx Listen, you badly trained troll... just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it gives you the right to make comments on it. There's a quote saying "nobody is entitled to their opinion but everyone is entitled to their INFORMED opinions" (or some such). AS isn't imaginary.
Your type of thinking is the kind that claims that homosexuality is a choice and that people with depression should "stop being depressed". I seriously hope you never spawn. x.x
There is so much faulty in so called "normal" social dynamics. It is so much bullcrap out there that flies based solely on if the Majority says it flies then it must be cool.
My point is only that women are by-and-by evil and manipulating. Women are standing in line to have sex with the "Red Shirt" gamer guy right now because they adore the height of his "weirdness."
Be more "weird" and you'll score empathy with the chicks, okay?
You've convinced me you are hardcore Asperger. You must be. For obviously the stereotypical mellow Swedish ways have not rubbed off on you in any way at all.
@Adkit2 Well you are somewhat "mellow," but with internal angst (restlessness) which is okay. That is better than being violent towards Society like I am.
I am Asperger, but my diagnosis was refused because my father made too much money (Based on his salary they would have had to give me a very big monthly $check$, so they trashed my diagnosis, then told me to work at McDonalds, lol.).
I do not "blend" well in coworker situations I guess you might say, not at all. I see Wrong, and say "WRONG!"
@xxxMrSuspendedxxx So do you just think it's funny to insult people by making crazy accusations you can't prove? You seem to think you know what he was thinking when he made this video. I was diagnosed when I was still a kid and my parents never got money from the government, and nothing else you said is worth trying to argue about cause no one will believe it anyway. You clearly have no idea what u're talking about.
I agree with you about being aspie- Now that I have watched your video I am pretty sure I am. - and I think it is something that I definitely accept about myself- and wish other non-aspie could be aware of sometimes. I guess each individual - has various levels even slightly- like my cousin tends to have little more symptoms. Your video was very helpful. Thankyou Adkit2.
@randymcknob It's Asperger's you ignoramus. It's a developmental disorder that is on the autism spectrum. If that comment was intended as a joke, then you've got a screwed up sense of humor. If that wasn't intended as a joke, you desperately need to get out more and actually broaden your horizons instead of acting like an ignorant prick.
Babe stop self-diagnosing this doesn't mean your an aspie/autistic! Lots people have these things. You just got some low self-esteem despite being very cute!
@lethomia I hope you didn't direct that at me. I have a diagnosis and if you're saying that I "just got some low self-esteem" then I am wildly insulted...
1. Sun "screams" at me. That is, it feels the same way in my head, ears, nose, skin that someone screaming would have. I don't actually hear any screaming. It hurts.
2. Good with one on one interactions with people. Terrible at group situations.
3. I like calm and quiet.
?. I can't stand certain textures (certain kinds of cloth feels like needles scratching my skin) Loud/sudden noises send my heart racing. I don't like the sound of my own voice, nor the voices of crowds. The list goes on...
@jonandra sorry def did not mean to vote down -_- meant to vote up...My baby boy is an aspie kid and also says the same...the sun and other things "scream" at him <3 He too has aversions to certain clothes and textures.
@alvarezevelin3 I don't know what to tell you, other than... If he's like me, he will have a high resistance (or lack of perception?) to physical pain, and a high sensitivity to emotional pain or mental distress. Things that might be a mere annoyance, or even normal to most people, will be painful or distressful. I hope you have more patience to wait for any verbal responses from him than my parents had for me. Thank you for your reply. Good luck and lots of love for you and your son. :)
I cried when I realized I was an aspie as well. I was always the black sheep and treated like there was something wrong with me even in my family. It was such a validation when i learned about aspergers.

One thing about the look you mention is people alot of the time come to me and ask me if I am ok? Just random people. Alot of the time I try to do the smile to make them stop before they come over to me(i think it is because I watch people to see how they act) but sometimes I forget to smile and they come over and I have to think alot of times of things to say to make them go away. I used to have a problem with lying but now I know you have to tell them what they want to hear to make them leave.

At any rate, thank you for the great video, it has furthered my suspicions (I got a 31 on the test, took it again and got a 32), and it was very interesting.

also i am sometimes weird and i enjoy just being myself and some of these things did relate to me because i do have a natural tired look on my face with bags under my eyes, and i enjoy my solitude, i took that test and answered all the questions truthfully and scored a 13, like i said in my previous comment i would like more specifics because everywhere i go to look for info i always get a vague answer
IulovemeI 3 months ago
this sounds like something a lot of normal people would do, like having a place where they can feel safe, or bags under their eyes, or people just wanting to be themselves. i think this video should be more specific because there are a lot of people especilly in todays society that are flambouyant and expressive.

I scored a 33 on that test... I don't know what to think. I know I'm not dumb, and I could have easily avoided getting a higher number, but I did answer them honestly as best I could. Could you respond to this, or maybe with just a PM with some other tests. I currently have no way to check otherwise, and I thought you might be more aware of some useful ways to check further into this.

PlushNunchucks 3 months ago
I scored a 30, which is pretty consistent with my current impression of my relation to aspergers. So much in the descriptions of it seems like me and it would be a kind of relief to have a name to put on what I've experienced, but some things make me question the attempted self-diagnosis, like some of the OCD-like aspects of aspergers which would be a big stretch to apply to me. Maybe the autism spectrum is really broader than the conditions that are currently described.

my signs are showing up clearly that I have some form of high functioning autism I also don't look people in the eyes, my eyes wonder around the place as I speak and people usually ignore me because they think I'm talking to myself, also I speak really fast and continuously and people sometimes can't catch what I'm saying.... are these clear signs? I am thinking of seeking help. I'm 23 years old and I haven't been diagnosed only because my mother keeps denying that I have it:( and it's annoying.

I also don't say hi and if i have to I'm actually forcing myself too. I also find it awkward when people wave at me, I rather smile back than wave back and even my smile is being forced. I'm not trying to be rude when i don't wave back, but I just feel awkward to do so. I also do repetitive movements like finger movements as I talk because it's my way of processing and if they stop me I will find other ways of moving like rocking... and they ask me if I could just stop! but I can't! I need to
violinist881 4 months ago
hey there, thanks for posting the video it was helpful for me. I would like to ask you a question, is it possible that the signs don't show up as children or most parents just don't realise it? because I seem to speak my mind and people shout at me or even beat me up because they think I was trying to be rude and I wonder why they do that to me:( and it seriously confused me everytime when people ask me to think before I speak.... that seriously confuses me...
violinist881 4 months ago
Ok, I'm interested in one thing about you and your brother. You keep talking about a single Asperger's test (presumably the one you have in your video desctiption). Is that the test you and your brother took and are you basing your idea that you are an asperger purely on that test, because it's not really accurate for a serious diagnosis, this doesn't mean a psychologist would give you a diagnosis. Do you have a real medical diagnosis?
Ylviste 4 months ago
@Ylviste Yes, we obviously have an actual diagnosis lest we'd not say that we had Asperger's. x.x Seriously, the way I keep ranting on about stuff in my videos, are you really doubting that I have AS or something?

This was quite interesting. I am 17 years old, I have never had the ability to "interact" well with other people, my own interests took all the time, and I certainly didn't like interacting with most of the people. Honestly I have only met 1 person I found enjoyable to be with. I finished high school when I was 15, started learning physics by the age of 12.

I'm often told I surpass peers my age in knowledge and wisdom, but I can often be annoying. In case you don't know, I'm rooting for all the kids with aspergers. Don't give up. Aspergers is no fun.

I'm 14. I was diagnosed with aspergers a few years ago back when I was 7. I'm pretty much in a good condition with it, the fact remains that despite I am able to talk to family members/friends/adults easily, I find talking to people I don't know a bit difficult. I used to be a kid cooped up in his room all day, now I'm someone who actually socializes with the rest of his kind. I may not be the best person on the face of the earth, Hey, it's all right. I've come to understand why I want to live.

@TevinTheSage How did you learn to socialise? I taught my self to swing arms when walking, and to hold eye contact, but it was hard work, and i still cant socialise, I hardly socialise with family members. Usually im in my room reading medical books (one of my obsessions). I worry about people a LOT. But i find it impossible to show it emotionally.
MrJasonSmarts 6 months ago
@MrJasonSmarts I use words. I have no problem talking. I just have problems showing facial expressions. I am very outgoing, I just have to be able to use it. In a lot of things, I can be good at something. I just have to grab hold of the potential. So you don't exactly have to show it emotionally through facial expressions/sounds/hand movements, you can just say something. I can talk easily as long as it's something that's in my experience range. If It's a subject I don't understand, it's hard.

I haven't been diagnosed. I heard about asperger's syndrome over the internet and decided to find out more about asperger's syndrome. Surprisingly I have almost all of the symptoms of asperger's. I'm very quiet, not because I'm shy. It's more to do with the fact that I'm really just awkward. Socially. I don't know what to say to people. I can't read people's body language either. The only time I speak up is when I'm giving a speech or when I'm talking about something I'm interested in.

I think I might have a mild case of AS, because I have a couple of the symptoms like: How happy I was when I got my own room with a door that locks (and I get really annoyed when someone unlocks my door), and when I was younger I decided I like math and I got really good grades with it, but then I decided I didn't like the graphs, so my math skill lowered a bit, but I'm good at it as long as there aren't graphs. I took the test and it said I got 28, so is that a mild case?
HPManiac123 1 year ago
@HPManiac123 Like I said: you can take the test and get 0 and still have Asperger's. It's not a real test, just a kind of suggestion to tell you what most aspies would be like. If you yourself think that you have AS then the best thing and the only thing to do is to ask a psychologist about it.
Adkit2 1 year ago
@Adkit2
No. It's actually better to go immediately to an Asperger's centre. Most psychologists aren't really specialised on Asperger syndrome so it's actually better to go to a therapy centre because psychologists also won't start any treatment. Believe me. That's the better way in my experience...
LukasVideosify 8 months ago
i think i might have a mild form of aspergers. ive looked up the symptoms and i found that they are similar to how i act and perceive the world around me. I dont consider myself antisocial but i do get in awkward situations where im not sure how to act. just like you said, im good at talking to people one on one but when it comes to being in groups, i tend to be intimidated by too many people. i think it has to do with what you said about sensory overload that ppl like us have to deal with.

SaraESainsbury 1 year ago
@SaraESainsbury You don't have to lack empathy at all. It's more like... you have problems understanding feelings sometimes. Or that you can't quite express yourself the way normal people can. People with AS don't have to be assholes who can't care for others, that's just poppycock.
Adkit2 1 year ago
@Adkit2 Thank you for clearing that up for me. Now with that understood, I feel like I fully understand myself for the first time in my whole life. I went through all of my years at school being thrown into the special education classes without any diagnoses even though I was smarter than everyone else. I have audio processing disorder, which is also common amongst AS people, and here I am almost 30 years old finally figuring out why I am the way I am, and it's actually a huge relief for me.
SaraESainsbury 1 year ago
I relate to EVERYTHING you said, including a new thing I haven't heard before, the awful dark marks under my eyes that I've had all my life that make me look tired and unhealthy. Other videos, I only relate to somewhat, but this is right on. The only "symptom" that I don't relate to on some level is this: I am very empathetic towards others, and I want to help others. What can you say about that? Anyways, my psychiatrist is helping me go through the testing for AS. Also, I bite myself, you do?
SaraESainsbury 1 year ago

@SaraESainsbury My IQ is only 130. That's 30 above the average. Now imagine someone with average IQ... they're pretty stupid, right? Then imagine someone with 30 LESS than the average. That's 70... 70 is the limit of where you become officially retarded. Ergo 30 above average is pretty good.

@SaraESainsbury You shouldn't waste your time on him, I only get two types of comments on these videos.

I rarely get people actually literally hating on Asperger's. So don't worry about it.

@Adkit2 Thank you. for a minute there I felt like I was back in elementary school...or perhaps that person still IS. Most people are very nice and tolerant with me. :)

@SaraESainsbury The thing about childish bullies is that they pack less and less of a punch the older you get. :P

@midnull and I definitely don't bite myself my arms when I'm nervous, I bite them out of frustration because I don't know how to handle my emotions, I've done that all 29 (almost 30) years of my life. (since I had teeth). And I wish I could sleep, I have to take ambien, I've had problems trying to sleep my whole life.

Amazing, I'm only thirteen and I somehow share quite a few of these qualities. I don't even know if I have asperger's syndrome but if I keep seeing these videos I think I might actually get the thought to research asperger's.
Normal people aren't boring, they're obnoxiously dull (and others of my age, well either just plain dumb or share some interests but no real glaring simularities). AND WHY AM I GOING ON SO MUCH?

Wow 49 pages of Comments. It does not surprise me. Asperger Syndrome is the golden child of overly diagnosed maladies in America. Parents pay Doctors and crooked Disability Adm officials to have their kid tagged with this. The kid will then get a $check$ every month with the parents as payee.
I have bad news for you. Sadly, you are NOT weird enough to score empathy sex from women. It gives me no joy to inform you of that fact.
What are you "Support Technician" of-- what job?
Good luck coping.

@xxxMrSuspendedxxx Listen, you badly trained troll... just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it gives you the right to make comments on it. There's a quote saying "nobody is entitled to their opinion but everyone is entitled to their INFORMED opinions" (or some such). AS isn't imaginary.
Your type of thinking is the kind that claims that homosexuality is a choice and that people with depression should "stop being depressed". I seriously hope you never spawn. x.x

@Adkit2 Hey I was not hating on you dude.
I'm on your side.
There is so much faulty in so called "normal" social dynamics. It is so much bullcrap out there that flies based solely on if the Majority says it flies then it must be cool.
My point is only that women are by-and-by evil and manipulating. Women are standing in line to have sex with the "Red Shirt" gamer guy right now because they adore the height of his "weirdness."
Be more "weird" and you'll score empathy with the chicks, okay?

@xxxMrSuspendedxxx I am NOT on your "side"... I am proud of who I am, you obviously aren't proud of anything.

@Adkit2 Okay, truce.
You've convinced me you are hardcore Asperger. You must be. For obviously the stereotypical mellow Swedish ways have not rubbed off on you in any way at all.

@xxxMrSuspendedxxx Fair enough.
Adkit2 1 year ago
@Adkit2 Well you are somewhat "mellow," but with internal angst (restlessness) which is okay. That is better than being violent towards Society like I am.
I am Asperger, but my diagnosis was refused because my father made too much money (Based on his salary they would have had to give me a very big monthly $check$, so they trashed my diagnosis, then told me to work at McDonalds, lol.).
I do not "blend" well in coworker situations I guess you might say, not at all. I see Wrong, and say "WRONG!"

@xxxMrSuspendedxxx So do you just think it's funny to insult people by making crazy accusations you can't prove? You seem to think you know what he was thinking when he made this video. I was diagnosed when I was still a kid and my parents never got money from the government, and nothing else you said is worth trying to argue about cause no one will believe it anyway. You clearly have no idea what u're talking about.

I agree with you about being aspie- Now that I have watched your video I am pretty sure I am. - and I think it is something that I definitely accept about myself- and wish other non-aspie could be aware of sometimes. I guess each individual - has various levels even slightly- like my cousin tends to have little more symptoms. Your video was very helpful. Thankyou Adkit2.

@randymcknob It's Asperger's you ignoramus. It's a developmental disorder that is on the autism spectrum. If that comment was intended as a joke, then you've got a screwed up sense of humor. If that wasn't intended as a joke, you desperately need to get out more and actually broaden your horizons instead of acting like an ignorant prick.

@lethomia I hope you didn't direct that at me. I have a diagnosis and if you're saying that I "just got some low self-esteem" then I am wildly insulted...

1. Sun "screams" at me. That is, it feels the same way in my head, ears, nose, skin that someone screaming would have. I don't actually hear any screaming. It hurts.
2. Good with one on one interactions with people. Terrible at group situations.
3. I like calm and quiet.
?. I can't stand certain textures (certain kinds of cloth feels like needles scratching my skin) Loud/sudden noises send my heart racing. I don't like the sound of my own voice, nor the voices of crowds. The list goes on...

@jonandra sorry def did not mean to vote down -_- meant to vote up...My baby boy is an aspie kid and also says the same...the sun and other things "scream" at him <3 He too has aversions to certain clothes and textures.

@alvarezevelin3 I don't know what to tell you, other than... If he's like me, he will have a high resistance (or lack of perception?) to physical pain, and a high sensitivity to emotional pain or mental distress. Things that might be a mere annoyance, or even normal to most people, will be painful or distressful. I hope you have more patience to wait for any verbal responses from him than my parents had for me. Thank you for your reply. Good luck and lots of love for you and your son. :)
