  • ola joder palestino cono!!!!!;)

  • i love you because there are two of us and they are neurotypical and i am afraid of him on easy big planet.

  • Aspergers is a spectrum disorder. not all people with Apergers syndrome are like this individual but thay might have similar characters. The medea and these so called professionals stereotype Aspergers syndrome because thay do not fully understand it. I would encourage people to believe that we are not all the same. If we all try to keep an open mind adout Aspergers we might find more efficient ways of treating it.

  • what is worst though is i cant be around loud noise so balloons, guns, fireworks, alarm bells, or harley davidsons I cant be around any of these things

  • aswell strange thing with aspergers is in high school even though i was quiet i made some friends because i didnt act like an idiot, so I was known as the friendly giant, on the other hand even though we like it peaceful we do not take threats well or anger well

  • however some may notice as we grow older we get better when I was a kid i was considered strange because of the way I acted and because I was anti social, however now that im 18 i talk a little bit more and im the most mature guy compared to my friends

  • sadly I too have aspergers so many things go along with this disorder

    -sensitive to loud noise

    -very anxious over random things

    -dont talk much

    -dont have alot of friends

    -if we are in a group we dont know half of what their talking about

    -etc

  • Its odd, it took me 11 years to hone my social skills in school and I still have minscule signs of it. My intrest started with trucks, then art, then guns, then cars,then went onto machining and welding. The odd part is I remember every subject fluientally but I have trouble expressing it.

  • @Jaket2000 I can relate. The way I can describe it is my brain is like google where I have all this knowledge and facts but during social situations I keep quiet when a subject of interest comes up because I know once I make a statement I will be asked questions and I will need to quickly think of a reply which is something that is extremely difficult for me to do.

  • @yeahtoast22 Yup, what I did is go with something where it won't show which so far so good. What I still have trouble with is social situations as I give 0 socialization to my "Friends" also I get anxiety attacks which I hide them but occasionally people see the chinks in the armor.

  • Hi Tara, I have Asperger's Syndrome too

  • yes i was 44 when i new but went to 3 spcial schools.i like vintage recordings antique radios gramophones and how the mind works..i always took my play things apart to see how they worked i tent to treat people the same way...jeff

  • Thank you for this video, it is very helpful and informative : )

  • @LycanthropicAsshole: Hey, you know werewolves are just gypsies, right?

    Also, what does "deserve" mean? Natural selection is about strength, and we will deservidly fight and win, believe you me, hairy vermin...

  • @LycanthropicAsshole lol have fun without your computer

  • Comment removed

  • thanks fore this video. my roommate has Asperger Syndrome and it helps me understand him. thanks

  • watch out for shooting against a window.

  • Hey guys, are these some signs of AS?

    -Fixated on a particular subject (For me, it is all about physics and dinosaurs)

    -Having trouble making friends (I have only 2 close friends, rest I consider to be aquaintances)

    -Sharp and loud noises cause me to be in a "state of shock", a brief moment of intensed fear and then the feeling gradually subsides after couple minutes

    -Hard to create small talk (never really knew the point of doing it), but I can do well talking about very specific topics

  • continued

    -I also don't feel like fitting in with people, fashion trends, or other trends in general are a major turn off

    -I feel emotionally drained when I am talking with a person or a group of people for a long time (I wish to be alone)

    -I feel much better and prefer being alone than being with a group of people (including friends)

    -I hate going to "social" places (I despise the mall, eating inside a restaurant, conventions, etc) But I love being in nature (going to the mountains, etc)

  • @StreetDoctor90 yes sir. you're part of our culture of outcasts lol...physics is a good focus to have , as an aspie. the people working in reseach or pharmacology are often aspie or a bit socially awkward themselves so you could work in that field without dreading the small talk...

  • @StreetDoctor90: Indeed they sure are...

  • @DChatc

    Thanks man. I just don't know how to deal with myself.....everyday my life is HELL, for it seems like I am cut off from society and I think people look at me as a deviant person (family, friends). It seems like the only "temporary cure" is to read books in order to "get away" from reality....I don't know what to do other than that....

  • @DavidPennable --- you are a total moron it is a genetic disease. these people had no choice there stuck with it. they were born with same with your stupidity.

  • @mysubsbang Asperger's Syndrome, is a disease that the nwo calls a threat, a symptom is, and look it up , is an obsession with certain things. in a way a I'm probably smart enough to see the connection, in addition, I became obsessed in understanding myself better, simply by trying to understand my enemy, as well as their agenda. and for being a total Dbag, I'm marking you as spam...

  • @DavidPennable -- wow i just now put 2 and 2 together you were speaking of yourself when i thought you were trying to put down people with this issue here you as well is fighting for oneself. i apologize i am so very sorry i was the moron for not realizing what you had meant. i deserve to be spammed a hundred times for my ignorance. i hope you can find it in your heart to forgive such idiocity i have bestowed upon you.

  • @mysubsbang haha a " my bad" would have sufficed but yeah, I can tell you what the nwo ate for breakfast, and dare I say, overly priced false flag eggs.

  • I have asperges syndrome too i understand you compleatly

  • @Settlebeckschool1 -- god bless you

  • my head is always looking for answers towards social behavour.I just can't seem to get contact or feel what mummy feels when she cries. I find that very lonesome because I also greef because dady has gone. I wish I could comfort her more.

  • @krezip44 Memory is one of the strong points of AS. Try and remember things that other people have said and done in those situations. Once in a while, throwing in one or two of those gestures can mean the world to that person. 1 people who really know you, expect you to be you, so don't overdue it. 2 going out of your way and unexpectedly being kinder is a positive sign.

    Even if it's not perfectly done, they will still be happy!

  • Imagine if there was an Aspie who was like the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz. It's just that when I hear the words 'unique' and 'individual', I think of the lion singing If I Were King Of The Forest with his imaginary robe and crown! Perhaps the most unique thing about me is that I wear cat ears as my headband in public and play with a skipping rope. They give me a positive emotion, and somebody told me today that they give her and lots of people a positive emotion.

  • This is so me... Gosh, I hope my psychologist realizes this soon. We're dealing with this issues right now, actually. This, ADHD and OCD. Something's wrong. We'll figure it out.

  • @thanos700 youl get over it

  • Quit eating assburgers

  • Zeolite powder cures asperger's syndrome, or atleast the paranoia and severe social anxiety.

  • There are a lot of medications out there to help with paranoia and anxiety but none work universally (our brains are all too unique for any drugs to uniformly perform neurological tasks across the board) and none can cure Asperger's. Our brains are simply wired differently and that is not the sort of thing that can easily be "fixed".

  • Well done. Great documentary.

  • Being AS is living hell. I lost my job, my wife and children are away, me and my mother don´t talk to each now, the only person who has offered me companionship is my father. I think he understands me, and I think next time he offers me some pot I'm gonna take it, maybe that would help.

  • I think it would a good idea to read books about Asperger. There are books especially written for the ones who have Asperger. If you understand 'the other' world then it becomes easier to fit in and undestand other people more and better. Your wife should read books about 'living with a partnet who has Asperger. It's not such a big thing to understand, but you have to learn what it's all about.

    You are very special you know, havings Asperger. These are the most beautiful people in the world.

  • @ernasmulders That's a nice thing to say about people with Asperger's. You are very kind, thank you.

  • People who call AS silly or say "everyone's got problems, blah blah" are incapable of understanding what it's like to have this...it's like telling a blind person to grow new eyes or something absurd...it's hard to diagnose adults with AS because we get very good at hiding it and staying isolated with ourselves and our feelings, but inside it's like a raging inferno of confusion about social situations and relationships...we understand being social, we just can't do it...its torture.

  • I'm glad I've never felt the stress to have to act "normal", except when my mother was around insisting that I do so. I was a rebellious kid who chose to express herself anyway, getting bullied intensely and having been misunderstood by my teachers. In spite of everything that happened, i do not regret my crazy behavior at all. I let out all of my anger, and now that I've met more accepting kids, my sanity has been restored. Researching AS has helped a lot, too.

  • And I think this video is very good. And as for the poetry, come on. You don't expect to get Walt Whitman on Youtube.

    It helps get across what she's trying to say, which is the point.

  • Not so cool if it bothers you and nobody else knows why.

    I don't have that, but I am hypersensitive to high pitched noises, which may be related. They bug the hell out me.

    But having ear plugs in bothers me more than loud noises do, which is a nuscense.

  • Cubby wears earplugs at college now has super sensitive ears can hear dog whistles that humans can't hear which is cool mrow

  • Thanks you are right. I hear other people with AS saying that they wouldn't change a thing and that they are who they are. But I think this is complete bull, I feel that AS handicaps us showing who we truly are. I want to express things that are in my heart and mind, but it doesn't come out that way to "normal" people.

  • We can seem arogent, but thats just part of the misunderstanding. You know, you know a lot about a particular thing and like to talk about it, and people think your full of yourself.

  • My situation seems exact to RubberWilbur's description. And I agree with him.

  • My childhood was very painful and young adulthood was very hard.

    I can think things that no one around me is thinking and say things that they have not heard before. I have limitations they don't have, but I can make a unique contribution that no one else can.

  • this is a rude way of interpreting asperger so sad to hear.

  • I have Asperger Syndrome and would give anything not to have it. It's not an easy life and anyone who tells you differently is not being truthful. We don't know what we don't know. We don't know what we are missing out on when it comes to a "normal life" making friends, enjoying life, having things not be so rigid. The worst part is not knowing that you have it for decades, in my case. It is torture and life is one disappointment after another.

  • Why do you envy dogs so much?

  • Having a pessimistic view of you disability certainly adds to your struggle. This is not a healthy mentality to wish you were born a different way. You can still enjoy life, make friends, and release your anxiety. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

  • a have mild aspergers and am proud of it

  • same here!

  • Comment removed

  • I have Asperger syndrome and I don't have any NT friends as they would only want to know me to see what they can get out of me. Having being growing up in the 1970s I have been put in the special ed classes just because of an idiotic doctor thought I had a learning disability. Now I have never got over this and never will nor the Aspiphobia that was and still is rampant here and in my family.

  • i have aspergers i am 23

  • I have it and was diagnosed 2 years ago. I fit it especially with the inablitiy to function socially.

  • I read faces and I know when ppl r genuine and when they r fake. I have Asperger's and know how to flirt, I've been popular with men because I watch other women and copy what they do but I get tired of acting (and of pretending to be shallow and thick. I'm deep and I care about things that matter, not about stupid clothes and some falseness and social games). I prefer the autistic men because they are as intelligent as me and not obsessed with getting me into bed like 'normal' men whom I ignore

  • we're better, we are the next step in the evolution. soon we will be in the majority and holocaust will never happen again because we will be in charge and we will rule the world peacefully, caring for all living beings

  • I have Asperger's, but I must say your comment makes us sound arrogant

  • okay. slow down here. there is nothing wrong with being proud of yourself, since it is much healthier than self-pity. I would be careful, however, not to think of yourself as superior to NTs.

  • Be careful Cakerolled, you may be behind the wrong-end of the barbed-wire if we take-over (though don't feel too bad, I doubt ANY FLESH would be safe if I had my way, let's just say I'm quite fond of Daleks).

  • My nephew has it. As I see it .....his drug addict parents didn't care enough for him, to teach him to socialize with people......in the informative years.

    At the same time.........his overbearing father abusing him if he spoke up about anything.

    Neglect and abuse, play a part in it.........for some people.

  • yeah DC it's important to know that in some ways Asperger's is a myth in the same sense social interaction is a myth and how our god is just an egotistical reflection of us.. we're all just apes on a rock and our standard for social norms is something we fabricated.. alot of AS people are the way they are because they're intelligent enough to see through the bullshit.. as far as disabilities go there are worse ways to get free money from the state

  • Smartest comment I've read on Aspergers...no wonders I'm so confused about whether it is real or not...I have some of the so-called traits, but truly do not think I have a problem.

  • @Thanos700: It's called "pandering to the lowest common denominator": AKA Socialism. Anyone who excells in any way or shows any ammount of clarity is demonized by the masses unles he has some special title to legitimize him before the inter-subjective consensus of the crowd.

  • Comment removed

  • Our social standards are actually very natural.Even apes have their own social ways.AS people are not all smart, some are of average or below average intelligence.Also, some do not get "free money from the state".Every person on this planet is at least a little autistic because of the huge range of symptoms, and the fact that everyone sometimes acts immature or socially awkward.Can you honestly say no one has ever given you a weird look.Until you experience it, stop your naive preaching.

  • @Thanos700 i agree with alot of what you are saying but you must remeber that we can set norms atleast on a biological level, instead of on a nontangiable one. the main flaw in your what you are saying is that Asperger's can be compared to a norm on a physical level for instance it is a neurological condition therefor you can expect to see a difference in the neuron connection rate between a person with Asperger's and the average person's connection rate. also social isolation isnt a walk in

  • @Thanos700 the park. most of the ppl that ive seen with AS havent been complaining they have been displaying their interest in bettering their social interaction abilities. but yes their are worse mental illnesses but none are wanted. oh yeah and also any money that people with AS recieve, by the way it is exceedingly hard to recieve money from the government for mental illnesses since the government has been cutting its funding to certain organizations, they often pay back in jobs where

  • @Thanos700 their specialized knowledge often contributes to the growth and expansion of where ever they decide to work

  • i am sorry for seeing those with asperger's syndrome suffer. Please stay strong and seek family and support from religious groups. We love you guys =)

  • I have mild Asperger's and its driving me crazy... i don't know if i have it or its just paranoia that screws me up socially... my whole family has been debating this and some have used it against me and i got sent to a group home.. the whole "autism" label really hurt me they shouldnt call it that autism is retards who cant function i have so much fucking hatred i just want to fuckin stab anyone whoever called me autistic i'm not really gonna do that shit i'm just venting

  • RIGHT ON!

    I have exactly the same problems as you: When people think autism they think of the kid (always a kid, interestingly) in the desk violently spazzing out and drooling like he's having a seizure (I do think those cases as likely a COMBO of AS and something else entirely, also, it is again interesting how few AS adults there are that match this description, perhaps kids, even "autistic" kids, just grow up?).

  • Oh, and sorry to hear that about you're folks. That's f'd up, really.

    Back in the day some social worker suggested that to my parents that I be sent away also so that they could go on with there lives or something (which they, obvioussly, became irate about as they didn't want THAT for me). I'm sure this reverberates in you're resumes.

    And no, I would not blame you for feeling paranoid, most people are disgusting, inhuman scavangers who fight over garbage, they're like broken wind-up toys.

  • You sound really intelligent, so saying autism is retards who cant function, is making you look like an ignorant asshole. I used to be a nanny and one of the girls was autistic and there are different levels just like aspergers. btw I love that sheep/wind up toys comment unfortunately thats how i feel.

  • I think you wholly misunderstood what I said in regards to Social PERCEPTIONS about Autism and my beliefe that "Aspergers" is a myth springing-forth from this faulty assumption (unless you want to say that Autism is simply a symptomatic state often caused BY what should be called Aspergers' proper).

    Maybe this was an honest mistake, however seeing tha ammount of attackes upon the AS community, and the fact taht you seemed to have given some others trouble makes me wonder...

  • I'm so sorry you have to go through that bs. I would never allow my son to be put into any kind of home. I want to teach him that yes he does have this and to be proud of himself, and not to let others push him around becouse of it. again I'm so sorry

  • @Thanos700 Except people with Kanner Autism (the "regular" austism) aren't retards either, they just have additional problems to control their habbits. I have Asperger's too, but I don't mind it being called a kind of Autism, since I know that there is no direct correlation between any kind of Asperger's or Kanner Autism and being retarded. That's just the impression of people who have got no idea what we and the Kanner Autists are really like.

  • @Thanos700 autism does not cause mental retardation. however, the fact that you want to murder innocent people does indicate that you have issues anyway.

  • you must be living a very sad life. I feel your pain. how old were you when your daddy touched you for the first time?

  • you certainly are what many people refer to as a fuckwit, congratulations.

  • Who's talking about sponging asshole? This is about shits like you treating us like garbage because we don't want to play you're silly games about wooing sluts or flashing bling!!! I don't want you're money (infact I believe with another Aspie; Thomas Jefferson, that the best government is that which governs least), this is just about a minmal ammount of respect, DAMNIT!

  • Oh and as for WWII: Well let us consider that they did not even HAVE a definition for this condition, genious!

    Secondly: I'm sure many of us fought well in the battlefield: War is a very basic activity which doesn't mind the parade that is society, it used to be very simply - seek and destroy (incidentally, it is also possible that Hitler and Himmler were AS who grew up near dickheads who taught them how to hate humanity, so unless you like showers, try to show some respect).

  • Comment removed

  • i would like to talk to and make friends with people like this.:(

  • Why?

  • just because.

  • there are asperger groups in some cities. don't be afraid to join them or ask. just know that they won't always be what you expect, which may be good or bad.

  • Thank you for posting this. :)

  • Whats wrong with rock music and porn?

    and god my not exist?

  • My brother is 45 and has been diagnosed with Asperger's. He has never had a girlfriend or a job (he always brings this up), and has difficulty having conversations with and/or relating to people. He drinks, listens to lots of rock and heavy metal, loves porn, and says things like 'fuck god, it doesn't exist'. He says things like 'I got fucked in life'. He gets help, but often argues with people. I'm at wit's end with him, but I love him dearly.

  • Find him a group so that he can learn to socalize.Tell him to get rid of the victims badge. I have AS and I learned and he can too!

  • We have. We keep trying to reach him. The problem is when he was growing up in the 70's, there was NO HELP for people like him. They just threw him in a 'special ed' class, and labeled him a 'fuckup'. He took it to heart. Sad.

  • This is because AS cerebrial cortexea are largely disconnected from the rest of the brain (the heavily damaged mammalian and reptilian bits). This condition forces the afflicted to plan ahead more and calculate predictions mentally rather than emotionally (thusly, I do not think there such a thing as aspergers, what we think of as autism is probably autism + something else, like mental retardation).

  • Most NTs do not produce, nor do they create, they're feeloaders who gossip all day and try to predate on eachother (and most are just plaine stupid too, they lack the discipline to think they're situation through, autism is almost a blessing as it forces one to premeditate and THINK before acting, NTs think almost entirely with their feelings and often make EXTREMELY stupid decisions in their personal lives on account of it, like rats in a maze, a maze which we probably built to begin with).

  • So true i see them as wanton, inefficient, short sighted idiots! I dont know how many times my Aspie insight has been lauded, sometimes years after someone laughed at my account of something or someone and has come back and said you were right how did you know that? I sometimes think that god put us here to lead the blind.

  • @morpheus1x Perfect..It's like their the idiots & they dictate to you how smart they are & how dumb you are...As an Aspie I was treated like an idiot & thought I must be stupid...Then as I got older I saw how they got over on me...I started speaking languages & they thought I was faking it. because they couldn't understand What I was saying. It was literally Greek to them...

  • so true. for once, i got the chance to show them when i was hired to run a regional office with 15 employees, one in 35 offices in the US. i think they hired me to watch us drown. Within 6mos i turned the office around and had the highest productivity, highest quality, lowest turnover, and the most office space at the lowest price per square foot, plus we always ran 10% under budget. all this with poor eye contact and interaction issues! My intuition is about 10x higher than the avg MBA.

  • @morpheus1x ..."we are only in the service of God when we are in the service of our fellow men" king benjamen...and to do this we must forsake sin. It is simple..and straight to understand. We all have our part to play.

  • @DChatc: Empirical observation seems to confirm these sentiments.

  • I have LONG learned to read faces and emotions, and no, I do not react very much to my discomforts (which are MANY)...

    However I must say that I find the NT world rather repulsive, all NTs seem to do is try to screw eachother over in some way, and when you tell them something meaningfull they'll either laugh at you, call you everything from communist to bigot to just plaine kook, or they'll just ignore it and say "you're probably right, but life's to short for me to worry about it".

  • i always feel bad because i have this and when people try to talk to me or get to close it makes it hard for me to communicate and i shutdown and i cant even make eye contact in fact i can barely talk to themm its hard and it takes a huge toll on my personal life which is why i cant have relationships it sucks

  • i feel for you. im 48 and still suffer with this inside but on the outside have been forced to cope to get by. the shifty eye contact constantly makes people think im shady which draws even more unwanted attention. I can't concentrate when someone is staring me in the eyes it feels intrusive. But I have many NT friends and they admire my intuition and intelligence. Take the good with the bad i guess...get with a good therapist and learn some coping techniques and practice on strangers lol.

  • Hey guys, I have asperger's,I found out just recently..when you relies that your special and uniqe and you except who you are over compering yourself to others it great being an Aspi. Plus Steven Speilberg is also an Aspi including other famouse personalitys.

  • u sick perv!

  • such powerful oppressive propaganda isn't it folks?

  • word? where? i didn't hear anything!

  • wired to be weird

  • i find the people who make life hell for you guys to be to me daed no good dogs doc like to suger everything that shound be told right about how people treat ppeople like you guys

  • My brother has this...what is like? All I know is he's VERY irritable. And likes to keep LOTS of notes. On everything.

  • Well i'm also an aspie it is very much how you have described it.

    To anyone who will take time to understand THANKYOU. we suffer lifelong there is no super miricle that can cure our syndrome so please no nasty comments.

  • the one little offender here

    I thought like you that I can camouflauge my syndrome.

    either you are misdiagnosed or living in denial.

    the second is much worser

  • i agree, i only recently diagnosed, but i'd imagine trying to camouflage it would be like what i tried to do unsuccessfully for 45 years before i was diagnosed... sure, help is available now i am diagnosed, but i think explaining to people that i have aspergers, at least in work situations and such, if and when i get work whilst being honest about being diagnosed, is better than trying to camouflage it

  • no way, ppl take advantage

  • really, are they that mean, even when you are diagnosed and the know?

  • This makes it seem like an all-depressing "ohmygod poor asperger people" thing.

    I have Asperger Syndrome and Bipolar Disorder.

    You'd never guess which one people think troubles me most?

    ;p

  • I'd think bipolar would be far more troubling.

    This doc is just meant to give people an idea of what the condition is. A lot of people have no idea.

  • This is a lie, I do NOT like being by myself, I become depressed.

    In fact with people I am close to, I am VERY affectionate.

    and i was ostracized for many years, and yes I do have trouble reading emotions. I keep going anyway.

  • Nice video and such, I have Asperger's Syndrome, too, along with my boyfriend. I was diagnosed when I was 8, but I learn to live with it. Thanks for making a vid like this. -Sam (AkariYotoshimo)

  • kimberly u might want to consider your husband is bipolar, get him into counseling they can better determine his diagnosis instead of just watching youtube videos.

  • Bless you Tara. I wsh you always and forever the best your life can be. Don't let them ever drag you down you are You!

    regards,

  • The anti-depressant Escitalopram (Cipralex) to relieve the symptoms of social phobia, but not the rest of the symptoms. It takes away at least one part of it though, making getting out and about a bit easier.

  • what's the concrete difference between Asperger Syndrome and Social Phobia ?

  • The autistic part. People with social phobia do not show other autistic traits, such as narrow, intense interests or repetitive movements. Aspies do have these autistic traits in addition to social phobia, and our minds just work differently...often, we have trouble with the abstract.

  • where is the hard science on this ? Do you understand ring and wrong . the value of paying your bills cause if you wnat to tax me how about paying my rent ?

  • i don't even want any friends even if i have Asperger Syndrome. i just see the whole problem differenly.

  • I'm just now learning about the disorder I think My fiance has. He's 26 now. He'll be this angel one minute then when I say something or look a certin way he'll yell at me and sometimes get violent. I've been dealing with it for over a year now. I love him very much. I'm so glad that I know what his disorder is and I can work on being better for our future. Is there a website on how to cope with friends, family and loved ones with this disorder?

    Thanks,

    Kimberly J. Owen

  • Hi Kimberly;

    Try Autism Treatment Center of America. They have ground techniques for treatment for ASD.

  • Thank you so very very much for this fabulous video. I have a son with Asperger's and it has helped me to understand him more. You did a wonderful thing by reaching out to others who do not have Asperger's but do have loved one with it. Also for those who do and now maybe do not feel so alone. Wonderful.

  • this is pretty good! I like this video.

    only I don't really question, why me? I love being Autistic!!!  I do not want to change. I like being clever, focused and talented and seeing everyone as equal. But it is true what you say: Autistic people need to have a voice!!! So often we're not allowed to be heard

  • i hope that i dont be wrong but i think that i know the cure of this syndorme because i suffer so much with this syndrome, i was recouping quickly and the results are incredible,i suffer with this syndrome since young (4years i think)and i was better now with 21 years old, now i live socially and no more survive socially, maybe be "utopia" maybe not..

  • well, i have a similar story about going to such an accepting school, that I no longer have social phobia. but I still consider myself to be autistic. I still have my quirks, and wouldn't change them to save my life

  • Shame on you for such a comment. I hope you never have a child with this disorder or any disorder for that matter. Clearly, you lack maturity.

  • honestly, looking back on this comment i made, i really feel bad.

    i was an insensitive asshole, and i do apologize for what i said in the past.

    no, i'm NOT making this up.

  • hey asswipe how are you 1st off you are the llowest piece of whitetrash i have ever meet so far in my life making fun of people with aspergers u low-lifed piece of shitsome1 outa come up and deck u rite int he gosh damn face us tupid cunt

  • this is a good video but i disagree that all aspergers do not have friends. my son has friends, i have friends .... we are both aspergers! we just have to work that bit harder to do this.

  • Hey, I feel you, I also have asperger's. I've been dealing with it since the day I was born, and I also have few close friends.

  • I agree. I have AS and my way of friendship is just different. I don't have many 1 on 1 friends, but both my city's roller derby team and indy league baseball team call me their "#1 fan," though I having trouble actually socializing with them.The rollergirls and ball club staff say I'm lovable and passionate about their activity. Also, I've had diners call me their #1 customer and always give me a free malt with my order. I also love playing curling and get nice vibes from the curling club, too.

  • sometimes people just want to look at the darkest side of everything. if you feel confident enough and are around a few educated people, you are much more likely to make friends. I actually feel quite popular amongst some younger kids at my school. I am lucky to be at that place anyway.

  • Very good video...

    I´m 16 years old boy from Sweden diagnosed with ADHD/DAMP and Asperger´s Syndrome from when I was 10-11.
