Meetings and Double standards when it comes to Aspergers

[stigmatical1]

@LycanthropicAsshole Right so never mind the most basic of social norms, lets just fucking start killing everyone that is slightly different so we can become one big mass of pop culture and then we can all be the same like minded morons. Why don't you just settle down and enjoy some of the finer things in life that an aspie created for you. I'm glad the world is not subject to your anti-intellect agenda! The only area in socializing that we seem to have trouble with is your superficial BS.

@LycanthropicAsshole LOL but how could I hurt you?? As you have said I only say things on the Internet. What's the matter you getting scared of some prose on a computer screen??? LOL

[Aspergianstar2009]

@LycanthropicAsshole maybe I should just shoot you instead and therefore that will even the playing field

[missamberlee]

Maybe you should have made two of these videos, one of you talking for 7 minutes and the other one that gets to the point. please, take no offense but, my aspergers adhd brain wants nothing to do with this!

Granted, if I cant read it, I cant pay very good attention. maybe its all me.

I have always been afraid of being arrested for lack of eye contact. My mother told me to always make eye contact, I listened and this caused me much grief as I would stare people down. The world is crazy crazy crazy!

[muddygary]

dont be nasty to these people they have a mental problem otherwise fuck off and leave them alone you have a choice

[m1tchish]

OK...I have had 1st hand experience with this..."DITTO"

[Walkingcedar2006]

Thank you for this. I know you don't know me, but everything you said is completely consistent with my life partner, who has Asperger's. We live in North Carolina, and some areas out here are just as bad, especially with "eye contact" stuff. It is sad that some folks would make ugly, heartless statements to you. I don't have AS, but my partner does. It may not be easy, but my life is all the better for him being in it. Thanks for this video, eternally.

[a2gregjockca]

holy fuck, you're ugly.

[jaydahsxcreator]

I have moderate Aspergers Syndrome, and It can be pretty hard to handle certain things. Eye contact was a big issue, but I'm doing better.

[Liquadia]

I am adding you AspergianStar2009 as I would like to ask you some things as this is all new to me and you seem a tidy person to talk to.

[Liquadia]

have you aspergers? i done an online test and the diagnoses was ISTJ so i went to the doctors and said I had to speak to someone who is part of the Surgery who deals with aspergers and ten we go from there. bottom line is i allways had depression and recently was told by a friends friend who works in a school i may have certain traits and when i done the TEST ISTJ summary was spot on. so i now know i was never depressed i believe just the wrong daignosis.

[elephantchang51]

Selimaazouri,who the fuck are you to decide who needs telling off?Seems you are the dumbass.

[elephantchang51]

Who the fuck are you to tell off anyone?

[MouldyProductions]

if you have a learning disability you will a have a helper to exsplain stuff to you ...if you have AS you get bugger all! lol xD true

[magmatic123]

i am learning to look people in the eye but people dont understand that doesnot come easy to me .i find that if i slow down and just be in that moment im good

[Bighairyfart]

i disagree in some senses, i have as and am very lazy yet i also get extremely nervousabout whats expected

[Bighairyfart]

i lack motivation due to diminished expectations

[dinglegonzo]

I often make intense eye contact, my mother told me "look people in the eye!". I of course took her literally, now I am a psycho either way.

[DavinCreed]

I understand the idea that we are viewed as "thick" to other people.I am now married and even though she is understanding, there are still difficulties with dealing with things.

I am a programmer so I completely understand th "call us when you need us" statement because in my previous work I had been bugged when nothing had changed and think that only things that change need to be brought up.On time and on status do not need constant status updates,only when I cannot meet the DL is it necessary.

[CactusRose33]

Totally agree. Thanks for all the videos.

[CactusRose33]

Yeah, I met a guy I liked, but I couldn't hold eye contact, he probably thought I wasn't interested. Heck, I am so bad at reading signals that he may have been giving me signals that he is married or involved or not interested and I would never know, even after reading many books on non-verbal communication. I probably was giving mixed signals myself and not even know it. So I go home overwhelmed and try to make sense of it all....ahhhh.

[DavinCreed]

I had the same problems, I cannot understand why eye contact is important but I have learned to count out the seconds needed for good eye contact. About five to ten seconds is usually enough without "glaring."

I also find it more socially acceptable to never bring up I have AS because of all the misconceptions about it. I did eventually get married to a very understanding woman (she worked with mentally disabled people), but I cannot shake the idea that she feels sorry for me.

[Chocomoca1]

If you're AS you get bugger what? yes you're right. they say you look normal, that TICKS me off. we need help just as anyone with any disability has. I liked the topics you talked about in this video, it is very true. nice glasses :) I have so many duped stories lol about working on the job and how I took instructions literally and messed up the job :( and got yelled at.

[Chocomoca1]

hi, did your gf have the baby yet?
