@JasonMcGarva That stands to reason; we have trouble with social skills. (And thyank you for being of service!) I hope this skit becomes somehow helpful.
Racists in Alberta love this. It is a way to attack anyone for anything. Alberta Response Model members like to assault children then false accuse them. The child is often afraid to speak after the HATERS finish terrorizing and MOBBING them. Abusers in Alberta like to assault small children drag them around attack them and degrade them. Then they force medicate them. They enjoy it. They also attack verbally abuse & degrade their parents sneering at them and demanding support of child abuse.
@bobgreenwade Aspergers screening in Alberta is following the mode of the abuse in The United States. Damages done to the so called different ( labelled child) but really any unusual child are emotionally /psychologically abusive and devastating. Children are held back and treated as if their special talents connote something to be frowned upon. Everybody has traits and talents to be built up while broadening their knowledge base & repetoire. These kids are just BRIGHT KIDS.
Asperger's runs in my family. My grandma had it, so does my father, and so do my sis and I. The only one who doesn't have it (very bad) is my ma. For a long time, I thought I was just getting old and senile! Until I was properly diagnosed.
Or conversely the aspire becomes almost histrionic in vocal expressions it depends on how the family deals with it. I mumble talk quickly and am unable to take cues but I was trained to speak almost as if perpetually on stage, overlly animated it depends on the environment. If I'm in a closed situation I become excessively anxious and revert to typical aspie mannerisms as I'm not used to adapting under stress.
@punkprincesspurple It's not *like* some sort of go animate program; it *is* some sort of go animate program. Specifically, it's Xtranormal, as shown on the closing title screen.
@punkprincesspurple Yeah, don't we all! They will someday, I'm sure, and probably not too far in the future, but for now we (or at least I) have to just deal with what's available.
I beg to be ultimately sceptical! Better I am the "fool" than the idiot, Asperger's Syndrome like all behaviours are watered down into interpretation created by your mind, thus it's just behavioural structures. Physical structures of the autistic are constructions of perfect people, I think so I know everything I claim to be is real, I'm modest therefore I make no claims, evil isn't real, thus my experience being disliked is good and therefore despite your thoughts on autism, you're not real.
When I found out I had asberger's it was a huge relief made my whole life make much more sense and I am definetly VERY happy to have it. I would NEVER want to be a normal person who can't desire or thirst knowledge the way I do.
I don't see anything wrong with this video. I have autism and it is refreshing to have a video like this because it clears up the notion that we have no emotions.
I got asperghers and Iam deadly with a rifle, precise with any machine I got my hands on, a walking dictionary on those two subjects + vehicles and I can even do CNC.
I do have trouble socializing, clumsiness, hyper sensitivity and show little to no emotion.
@Jaket2000 Don't hate it. The only real minus is the hyper sensitivity. Your brilliance with rifles and other machines is a big plus! Same with your great vocabulary (I've turned mine into novel writing), Clumsiness can be worked around, and the social bits can be learned if you get around good people like I have, Have good cheer -- it's not a disorder; it's a difference!
@bobgreenwade Problem is, I was never informed on it as my peers had the knowledge of it since I was in 1st grade! I spent 12 years trying to figure out "what am I doing wrong here?" then the last midweek before high school ending for me in my Senior year "Well reason why you are in here Jake is because you got Asperghers." I had felt like a Gregorian knot to a phalanx, lifetime of twist and turns, bundles and locks and millions of people trying to solve it.... "KACHING!" problem solved.
@Jaket2000 Well, that situation is something to be unhappy about, to be sure. I was 32 when Asperger's was even recognized as a diagnosis, and a month shy of 48 when I got it for myself. Same epiphany: "So that's what's been going on all my life!"
But through it all, celebrate your difference in diversity, your ability to contribute to the world, and of course your worth as a human being. :-]
@bobgreenwade I myself had to find out on my own at 17, i spent my whole childhood thinking something was up with my mind and being told otherwise then i got myself diagnosed and POW! Everything made perfect sense. I also hate it all when i think about it, i'm a good listener and kinda good with words and stuff but sometimes i just wish it would end in general :/
@bobgreenwade Problem is, I was never informed on it as my peers had the knowledge of it since I was in 1st grade! I spent 12 years trying to figure out "what am I doing wrong here?" then the last midweek before high school ending for me in my Senior year "Well reason why you are in here Jake is because you got Asperghers." I had felt like a Gregorian knot to a phalanx, trying to figure one self out just to be cut down.
@Jaket2000 Some people are good at socializing. Some people are good at other shit. I think every personality should be valued, as we all have things to bring tot he table. We all filter reality differently, and, imo, it would suck if we all filtered it the same. We'd, no doubt, have a more incomplete view of reality if that were the case.
@JNathanK2011 Of course that'll never happen while there are so many ignorant people in the world.
Sure, the world needs to have different minds to succeed, so many geniuses throughout history have had Asperger traits such as Albert Einstein, Darwin, Newton, Mozart, Jackson and Van Gogh etc.
Much is still unknown as there is known, but the more that's uncovered, the more people are saying that it's really fundamentally a different way of thinking rather than a disability, as it has advantages.
I used to be very analytical and stoic. Ive come to realize that people exchange emotional energies though. For an NT who takes this for granted, they might not ever really notice this. As an autistic who's discovered these energies, I have a different take on it. It almost seems like it has its own substance to it, sort of like the energies that ancient Chinese medicine describes. Its like I've introduced to a whole color spectrum I've been ignoring all my life, and its beautiful.
@segano1 The one thing I don't like is when Aspergers is used as an excuse to not emotionally engage with people, as if its impossible for someone on the spectrum to learn it. In my view its just a higher mountain to climb for the individual, and its more meaningful when a breakthrough is made than for someone who it comes more easy too. I think limitations and challenges are what give meaning to life. The only problem is too many people, NT or autistic, are too egoistic to realize this.
@lucymeak1997 Oh, now that's frustrating. (Also a bit puzzling... my half-sister and her son got it in just one or two. But I see from your page that you're in the UK, so that might be the difference.)
@ihatenumbers987 You'd probably best seek out a professional -- a neurologist or psychiatrist who specializes in such things -- to confirm the diagnosis.
Great video & good job. As a person diagnosed with high-functioning autism at a time when autism or asperger's was literally unheard of, I can relate to what the doctor describes asperger's/some autistic symptoms affecting persons diagnosed with them. I sense that we need to inform society on Aspergians & Autistics (or preferably people with Autism/Asperger's) are not as "bad" & shouldn't be stigmatized for our minor difficulties in socialization, interaction & communication with others. +
I love how asie people define themselves as "emotions that are a lil on the abnormal to what a normal person has" so fuckin' generalized and convoluted. Now what is normal?
And the whole feeling expressing thing. Isn't the whole male population then is suffering from Aspergers? Since our society keep on saying that "real men don't cry"? lol
Not trying to rip on anything, just think this whole thing is convoluted.
@KristyC Congratulations! You have now demonstrated to the world how immensely stupid you are. If you consider an IQ of 133 to be "retarded," then you have overwhelmingly unrealistic standards. But then again bigots do tend to have a not-too-firm grasp on reality, as we've seen from folks like Nazis and the KKK. Maybe you should go off somewhere that you don't have to deal with anything to do with Aspies -- you know, like social equality, fair play, and basic logic skills.
@bobgreenwade Well my IQ as of last test is 134 and it's probably now 138, but my speech is regressing a little, because sometimes I slip up, especially now I have 3 accents for English in my repertoire, and typing is a task to not be taken lightly.
Okay my whole family has the texture thing and the ripping the tags off of everything. but we are fully capable of understanding sarcasm . we tend to rock and do other repetitious behavior. and i personally am overstimulated by sound and a train 5 mile away at night can wake me up when it goes through. I have often though we have Aspergers but one of the hallmark symptoms is the inability to comprehend irony which is not a problem
@cogit8able That inability to comprehend irony is merely a sign, not a hallmark symptom. This video actually is about signs for recognition, not diagnostic tools. Really, the main thing to watch for is difficulty in social situations, especially large groups. The Wikipedia entry on Asperger's includes the DSM-IV criteria; you can check that for something fairly reliable, and possibly check with a psychologist or neurologist.
@bobgreenwade I don't think Asperger's runs in families. They might simply be hypersensitive or something. A lot of aspie traits are also symptoms of other disorders. I think the difference is just the underlying cause. I sometimes misunderstand people for example, which is an aspie trait. But it's not because I can't read body language like some aspies. It's because I have trouble staying focused since I have ADD. Not very fun... The only way you can know for sure is by seeing a psychiatrist.
asperger's syndrome is so weird O_o (i have it too so im not having a go at anyone:P) , it's funny how everyone is soooo understanding of your disorder when everything is fine, but as soon as it becomes obvious for some reason that youre not really, "normal", then "you have to get ahold of yourself" xD gu-
I have aspergers because I relate to alot of the things he says. im a girl and like to wear t shirts and to feel comfortable and I get along with unique and special people. and I used to hate a "special" person in 3rd grade because we got along better than I do with other people.
and ya i know pi by heart too... I love to try to be creative and talk about things I dont like and like.
Cuz pi is 5 trillion digits long (so far..and counting)....if you can rehearse that it'll take you some what of a lifetime and then some. So I call it B.S. Knowing pi to some insignificant figure is cake.
A lot of times I might wear flip flops when it's cold out, then I might wear hoodies when it's really hot because it's comfortable. I don't like when people touch me either. I'm sensitive to the feeling of paper, especially if I were to scratch paper. I'm really awkward in social situations, so a lot of times I try to be quiet. I'm also really clumsy (dropping things a lot, bumping into things/ people, almost falling, etc.) Do you think I could have Asperger's syndrom? D:
I dunno, you might have some disorder. Don't know what it is yet. Haven't found a "clinical" term for it yet. But there must be! But you sound like one of my friends when he gets drunk or on E. He gets sensitive to a lot of things.
I have realized over the past few weeks that my ligaments become out of sync with the position they're in. My hands can be facing one way, but my mind tells me that they're facing the other way. I don't know how to explain it. Anyway I'm getting tested for Asperger's. I hate missing social cues, it makes me looks stupid. I don't always miss them though.
I think I have a little bit of Asperger's, not full-blown. I am sensitive to "pinchy" clothes and textures, such as wool, and woven fabrics- can't stand them. I can only wear light, soft cotton t-shirts. I'm a bit clumsy. I'm terrible with women. I hate touching people and being touched, and I lack common sense.
On the other hand, I'm good at soccer; I box; I'm attractive and athletic. I have a sense of humor and laugh a lot with lots of facial expressions and a fast, varied tone of voice.
@ejdf870 Sounds to me like it could be a borderline or mild case. Of course, not being an actual MD -- Dr. Fellowes is a fictional character (duh) -- I couldn't even tell for sure if I could examine you.
Personally, I'm about where you are, except that I totally suck at any sport, I do like touching people, and I have moderate common sense. So it's hard to predict.
Either way, it's probably not that important for you, so God bless you either way.
@bobgreenwade What's even worse for people in our situation is that there are very few doctors that can accurately diagnose us, since "Asperger's" syndrome is a controversial and disputed disorder to begin with.
But the traits and problems are real, so they can call it anything they want, and I still won't feel "normal" like other people.
@ejdf870 So true... though I'm finding that it's not really a matter of feeling "normal" like "other people," as being accepted for who we are, whatever we are.
@PinkPunkyKat When I was in high school someone in my english class asked me if I would do a part in a video they were making, because "you talk monotone, like a robot and that would be perfect" I was pretty horrified and embarrassed at the time! And nope, I didn't do the part!
that was good, i like the way it includes the fact it can vary from person to person, im sick of watching things that constantly state you strictly need to match up to certain characteristics to have asbergers
Thanks. Food intolerance is something I struggled with for years with my son (10 years old) whom has Asperger's syndrome. I learned to adapt by making sure he ate before many social engagments; i.e. cook-outs, birthday parties, weddings, etc.
I think it's funny. Why? cuz he kept on saying, some symptoms but not all....he kept on naming off things that people do on a regular basis that is normal! And I'm afraid to tell you that well, being socially awkward can be quite normal if you haven't been exposed to people when you were growing up. There's nothing wrong with people who have "Assburgers", it's all boo hoo emo I want to be different shit.
it's hard to have sympathy for people with asperger's when they're constantly patronizing 'neurotypicals', but i truly feel bad for how unaware and imperceptive you are.
Not sure what u're responding to but solely based on ur reply, l personally see the ''faults'' listed & described for aspie as positive. Someone who's not all into how u look or act. Someone who is genuine & transparent. What u see is what u get. No bs, drama, or ''office politics'' & being bad at sports or self adsorbed hurts no one except an infant.
& lastly, ''normal'' folks r just as rude, selfish, & evil!! THEY r the bullies, fake, shady ones full of drama!
@younglink1213 I know what you mean but it's from a lifetime of being patronized by "NT"s. It is the same reason why some African Americas become black supremists.
ah yes. you can always tell what they wanted 2 minutes later, or if its in a movie by the reactions of the other characters. But never when its directed at you at the time of asking.
Dr. Fellowes does have Asperger's (as mentioned in another skit in my set). He just wasn't supposed to be doing that particular fidget -- at least, it wasn't my plan.

asperger's syndrome is so weird O_o (i have it too so im not having a go at anyone:P) , it's funny how everyone is soooo understanding of your disorder when everything is fine, but as soon as it becomes obvious for some reason that youre not really, "normal", then "you have to get ahold of yourself" xD gu-

I have aspergers because I relate to alot of the things he says. im a girl and like to wear t shirts and to feel comfortable and I get along with unique and special people. and I used to hate a "special" person in 3rd grade because we got along better than I do with other people.
and ya i know pi by heart too... I love to try to be creative and talk about things I dont like and like.

You know pi by heart? ....lol that's utter BS. There is only one person that rehursed pi to the 100th number.

@midnull How could you possibly know that unless you met me in person?

@SonidaMarks
Cuz pi is 5 trillion digits long (so far..and counting)....if you can rehearse that it'll take you some what of a lifetime and then some. So I call it B.S. Knowing pi to some insignificant figure is cake.

A lot of times I might wear flip flops when it's cold out, then I might wear hoodies when it's really hot because it's comfortable. I don't like when people touch me either. I'm sensitive to the feeling of paper, especially if I were to scratch paper. I'm really awkward in social situations, so a lot of times I try to be quiet. I'm also really clumsy (dropping things a lot, bumping into things/ people, almost falling, etc.) Do you think I could have Asperger's syndrom? D:

@oliviazski13 It's not at all unlikely. It's best to see a neurologist or psychiatrist to be sure.

I dunno, you might have some disorder. Don't know what it is yet. Haven't found a "clinical" term for it yet. But there must be! But you sound like one of my friends when he gets drunk or on E. He gets sensitive to a lot of things.

I have realized over the past few weeks that my ligaments become out of sync with the position they're in. My hands can be facing one way, but my mind tells me that they're facing the other way. I don't know how to explain it. Anyway I'm getting tested for Asperger's. I hate missing social cues, it makes me looks stupid. I don't always miss them though.

I think I have a little bit of Asperger's, not full-blown. I am sensitive to "pinchy" clothes and textures, such as wool, and woven fabrics- can't stand them. I can only wear light, soft cotton t-shirts. I'm a bit clumsy. I'm terrible with women. I hate touching people and being touched, and I lack common sense.
On the other hand, I'm good at soccer; I box; I'm attractive and athletic. I have a sense of humor and laugh a lot with lots of facial expressions and a fast, varied tone of voice.

@ejdf870 Sounds to me like it could be a borderline or mild case. Of course, not being an actual MD -- Dr. Fellowes is a fictional character (duh) -- I couldn't even tell for sure if I could examine you.
Personally, I'm about where you are, except that I totally suck at any sport, I do like touching people, and I have moderate common sense. So it's hard to predict.
Either way, it's probably not that important for you, so God bless you either way.
bobgreenwade 1 year ago
@bobgreenwade What's even worse for people in our situation is that there are very few doctors that can accurately diagnose us, since "Asperger's" syndrome is a controversial and disputed disorder to begin with.
But the traits and problems are real, so they can call it anything they want, and I still won't feel "normal" like other people.
ejdf870 1 year ago
@ejdf870 So true... though I'm finding that it's not really a matter of feeling "normal" like "other people," as being accepted for who we are, whatever we are.

@PinkPunkyKat When I was in high school someone in my english class asked me if I would do a part in a video they were making, because "you talk monotone, like a robot and that would be perfect" I was pretty horrified and embarrassed at the time! And nope, I didn't do the part!

Thanks. Food intolerance is something I struggled with for years with my son (10 years old) whom has Asperger's syndrome. I learned to adapt by making sure he ate before many social engagments; i.e. cook-outs, birthday parties, weddings, etc.

i can't believe that you actually think this is funny. believe me, aspergers is nothing like this. it's not funny and you're very stereotypical.

@movieguy1326
I think it's funny. Why? cuz he kept on saying, some symptoms but not all....he kept on naming off things that people do on a regular basis that is normal! And I'm afraid to tell you that well, being socially awkward can be quite normal if you haven't been exposed to people when you were growing up. There's nothing wrong with people who have "Assburgers", it's all boo hoo emo I want to be different shit.

it's hard to have sympathy for people with asperger's when they're constantly patronizing 'neurotypicals', but i truly feel bad for how unaware and imperceptive you are.

Not sure what u're responding to but solely based on ur reply, l personally see the ''faults'' listed & described for aspie as positive. Someone who's not all into how u look or act. Someone who is genuine & transparent. What u see is what u get. No bs, drama, or ''office politics'' & being bad at sports or self adsorbed hurts no one except an infant.
& lastly, ''normal'' folks r just as rude, selfish, & evil!! THEY r the bullies, fake, shady ones full of drama!

ah yes. you can always tell what they wanted 2 minutes later, or if its in a movie by the reactions of the other characters. But never when its directed at you at the time of asking.

Dr. Fellowes does have Asperger's (as mentioned in another skit in my set). He just wasn't supposed to be doing that particular fidget -- at least, it wasn't my plan.
