I also have aspergers. I'm constently reading about it. I do have interests in drawing cartoons, listening to music that have techno sounds and a fast beat. My mom told me my first sign of aspergers was when I was about 4 or 5 I was kinda slow at talking normal, all I did was talk gibberish, they couldn't understand me so I kinda used body language to tell them what I want. Do some people with aspergers do that sometimes?
Kill the aspies! Drive them to the oceans, and drown their young! Impale them on fallen branches tipped with obsidian! Tie up their hands and feet, set fire to their faces, and let them slowly sink in quicksand! Smash their hands and feet, then lock them in a cage full of hungry, angry pigs! Create a huge beef grinder, then feed them through, slowly, feet-first! Shove thermite up their asses! Grease them up, and shove them down the throats of whales! Skin them alive then kill 'em all with fire!
It's interesting how you mention eccentric and quirky. I guess collecting balloons, skating in the rain, dressing in bright colored muscle tank tops would be considered eccentric. I've always known I am different, but it has not been a positive feeling. My whole life has been a struggle to be socially successful and make friends. I'm just wondering how much longer I can hang on before I decide to give up on life. All I want in life is to have have a friend/s
My 47 year old brother has Asperger's, and it is very debilitation for him. He cannot hold a job, and cannot date or attempt to seek a relationship with others. He tells me he has a HUGE sex drive, and that he needs to see 'escorts' (prostitutes) for his sexual release! He tells us there is NO 'god', and that he knows he got 'fucked in life'! We help him financially, as much as we can, and are always there for him. What happens to those that DON'T have family to support them??!!
I'm the same as you with the talking. One thing I notice, you seem, like me, to get your co-ordination mixed up, like you cut the vid off before you finished your sentence. And in another video, it seems you couldn't concentrate on talking whilst spraying the silly string at the same time. I'm like that ^^
One lil trick that works. Most people have egos and love to show how smart they are. If you are talking to someone, especially at a party, just ask questions about what he or she is talking about. You don't have to be interested, they will think you are though and that is the main point. That is one little trick.
I was first told I probably had AS by a girl who's boyfriend & mother had it. Then a counselor told me I most likely did. When I finally went to a psychologist to get diagnosed, I was told I was "too smart & too articulate" to have AS and labled with generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, social anxiety disorder, auditory processing disorder, & sensory processing disorder instead...
If anyone wants help with aspergers, sub to my channel and if I get enough subs, I can really help you and get the work going. So sub to me, it only benefits you!
I have a friend who has Asbergers syndrome. I never really knew what is was until I became friends with someone who has it. He's college educated, but he has such poor social skills that he can't hold job for very long. He just says the most out of sync things all the time and he always talks about himself. I've come to care about him like family. It's hard to see him suffer with life. He's an inocent honet guy. I really wish him well in life.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
psychology is a bottomless box of excuses, bla bla bla, I'm so and so because of that. I played this game, so I suggest getting a life. If having aspergers means lacking communication skills, wanting to talk about yourself, not knowing how to act appropiately and getting bored fast, than I must have been seriousely affected.
Now I kick ass, why? Cause I stoped thinking what makes me different, because I follow my heart. People love me and want to hang out with me exactly because of that.
blablabla your so unique. I have aspergers. I never talk about myself, but everyone hates me. I'm not mean. i just act different. it's not an excuse. infact, I think everyone else has a problem, becuase they don't understand anything.
i think aspergers can actually be a blessing, i don't think I'm out of it quite yet, but if you hold on to the intent to connect to other people while accepting who they are and accepting who you are while keeping the memory of the suffering experienced while being out of sync (as I experienced it) brings great delight. It's a process and very rewarding. Best wishes
your unique. just like all others with Aspergers syndrome. I am only still in school, and most everyone hated me. I got to show off my creativity and I got to meet new people. I loved it. and, the hottest girl in my school is talking to me and going out with me. I think if you look deep inside yourself and interact with others too, you will know how exciting you are. and you are right, people don't really understand disorders.
Bloody Good! Just make sure she's not using you and sees you as the interesting person you are. In my case, I was saddled with a Narcissistic father (someone who robs your identity): This kind of dog bummer puts you of relationships altogether. BTW this body snatcher shits in peoples' gardens now so I feel vindicated! :-))) If you want my dad to do your garden, prepre to be "fertilised" or should it be fartilised"?
@Romance1000 That's sad, I'm sorry that other people don't understand you. Certainly, being shunned by other people just for being different is painful!
Hi. I have very good numerical skills - I am very good at Math, and I am also good at computers. However, I am extremely anxious around other people and I find unless I am drunk I dont want to be around other people at all. If not I really feel awkward and dont know how to respond or act. I have also got Bipolar disorder. I also make inappropriate jokes. I know you are not a doctor, but does this sound like aspergers?
no..u might have social anxiety disorder....social phobia is another name for it?do u feel u will be scrutinised by others?do u avoid social gatherings?seek for prof help
Very much so! I suggest to find some help so that you may learn to be more relaxed for example. If this comment shows up somewhere else i would like to add that its a response to qweqwe.
I suspect I have this... I was told I had ADD from grades 1-5 and more recently have slowly been developing OCD. Im read up and seem to have all of the syndroms, like trouble reading emotions, everyone hate's me, no social skills, excellent math skills(came naturally) and fixation on 1 interest at a time. I however have a good life, pretty cute girlfriend, and 1 friend I talk to weekly. Does anyone with this desease think I should seek help sence I live with it ok and im kinda happy?
If you are happy then you don't need to seek help. It does sound like you have Asperger's Syndrome though. Having AS does not have to sentence anyone to an unhappy life. It's just a different neurological style.
That doesent nessicerily mean you have it...I have Aspergers and I also have friends and a girlfriend...I sugest you see a professional and have them evaluate you..Also Aspergers is in no way a "desease"
My son is 7 years old and i was told late last year just before school was about to break for the summer that my son has aspergers and/or possibly autisim spectrum syndrome.When the school pyschologist told me i felt like she had slapped me across the face with a wet fish, i am still trying to come to grips with it.How have you coped and has there been any support for you?
if only you remmebered that projection is flipped and reversed you would of got those cards right then :P anyway yeah people and me dont mix is why i made a army of robots to keep me company >:)
I meant to say "Kanner's Autism," and not HFA. HFA must have IQ of 100 or more, just like Asperger's. Temple Grandin, PhD, is a Kanner's autistic. The manual needs to be changed.
Temple Grandin was rediagnosed from Tony Attwood of Asperger's Syndrome. I know, that she had all classikal symptoms of autism, but there are actually different kinds of diagnosecriterias and after the one fron Gillberg's she actually has Apserger's. (I am sorry for my english).
Yes, but there are still differences between Asperger's and Kanner. Yes, it's a spectrum, we are talking about, but the interessting fact ist, that arguing with the IQ doesn't explain why some autistics, who are Kanner may have a much higher IQ, that a person with Asperger's might have.
Now you can argue with the lack of Language, at least at childhood, by Kanners, but where do you actually draw the line between Asperger's and Kanner autism? That's just fictive and it could have been drawn on any other point to. So I belive, it's totally nonsens to talk about the different types of autism, because they are just make up, because it's a spedtrum we are talking about. I know one thing, to make those differences in the different types of autism makes no sence at all!
Yes. I agree. It's been becoming increasingly more difficult for professionals to draw diagnostic lines, and it is possible that they will revise the next diagnostic manual quite a bit.
Fatline, I now understand some of what you were saying. The DSMIV diagnostic manual says HFA is IQ below 100. I have HFA friends who are brilliant like you. This video was just based on the official criteria, that's all.
Ok all aspergers people sound like they're just dumb but have a medical excuse for being dumb, so they think they're perfectly smart with a disorder, when they are in fact dumb. Maybe autism is thinking you are smarter than you actually are.
It has nothing to do with intelligence (actually, most Aspies have IQs in 130+ range!). It's about social interaction. I don't deny, Aspies have no social skills. But they are not dumb.
I think you missed the point entirely and should likely read up on it. I can almost guarantee her IQ is much above yours meaning she is much smarter than you. Most aspies are borderline genius to full blown genius, Albert Einstein was one for instance. This nice lady may sound however you think but she is just one of many. That would be like me judging you and saying you are a know nothing twit child that likes posting rude things to random people.
Albert Einstein was not an Aspie. He did not speak a word before his third birthday, which excludes him from the diagnostic criteria (but puts him nicely into HFA, oddly enough).
It has been said more than once that Einstein had aspergers. simply saying he didnt speak before three is not enough to exclude him. First of all they are basing it on todays standards which are entirely different then they were 100 years ago. While he may not fit the standard by that one comment you cannot exclude him. Tim burton, al einstein, and emily dickinson, and andy warhol are all said to have AS.
See my response to Alexmagnus below. Asperger's diagnostic criteria was written sixty years ago, and very much excludes Einstein. Saying that other people said more than once that Einstein had Asperger's Syndrome only proves ignorance on the part of the people you quote. Instead of trying to blur the distinctions, why not celebrate the fact that this proves attempts by the curebie community to negate us amount to them talking out of their anus?
Einstein had HFA? LOL.... I mean most people consider HFA to be something "lower functioning" than Asperger's... Is late talking really enough to say he was not an Aspie?
The diagnostic criteria for Asperger's Syndrome reads, and this is a direct quote: "(IV) There is no clinically significant general delay in language (E.G. single words used by age 2 years, communicative phrases used by age 3 years)"
Again, Einstein was totally nonverbal before his third birthday. Do the math.
I have some autistic traits and am a self-diagnosed Aspie. But after what you told... I started speaking at two and a half - but immediately with whole phrases, I didn't go through the "single words" stadium. So (assuming that my autistic traits are enough for autism diagnosis at all), was my childhood development too slow for an Aspie (first words by two and a half) or fast enough (first phrases by two and a half too....)?
One popular complaint about the DSM-IV criteria is that its wording is easy to misinterpret, so I cannot tell you how skipping single-word usage affects the whole story. Because I honestly do not know. However, I suspect that with the way the diagnostic criteria is worded, the use of full phrases at 2.5 years would translate as "no significant delay" to them.
You seem to have it yourself, and you have the wanna-be- god like traits of imposing your beliefs on others. I for one care neither way. I just wanted you to note that simply because einstein wasnt speaking until 3 doesnt exclude him. He merely needs to fill one or more in the criteria and not every last one. You need to relax... check the BBC editorial about einstein and AS as well as other sources, its a debate I will leave to the scientists and not you and I.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but the diagnostic criteria is simply written that way. If you have any speech delay, you are either HFA or LFA depending on other criteria, simple as that. Quite honestly, I think that distinction helps a lot because the prevalent attitude in the 1980s ("verbal = not autistic") hurt us a lot, and the distinction helps explain late diagnosis.
Given that the diagnostic criteria, like all those shown in the DSM-IV, relies on external observation, the distinction is meaningless. Nonverbalism past age three is consistent with HFA, period. I am not saying the criteria is set in stone, in fact I only point it out because it does so much to turn normie expectations of autism on their head.
Thats interesting because i was nonverbal til age three (not diagnosed with anything) but i started talking in full sentences. That only meets one of the five diagnostic criteria for autism though.
ok i highly doubt aspies have a higher than average intelligence, and mines been put at 135 ("genius" level) by WAIS so shut your mouth disorder kid ill say whatever i want
John? John Best? Is that you? Seriously, before you accuse people fighting for their right to be themselves of stupidity, you should take a good look at their opposition.
I dont think this comment makes any sense. "fighting for their right to be themselves of stupidity? I agree, before you start making statements in opposition of people maybe you should also look at yourself. It seems you have problems of your own...
Maybe you should learn some reading and comprehension skills, because it is clear that you want whatever you say to "just go", when it is in fact consistently hogwash. Hell, why don't you start by trying to read all of the sentence you quote, not just the part you like. Confucious say "when you read half of sentence, you lose all of meaning".
Wow lots of responses. But don't call me a no nothing twit. Im in counseling and my IQ got tested at 135 on WAIS. BTW i didn't start talking till 3 either.. but i started talking in full sentences, HFA you say? i'll look into it.
My cousin claims her son has this. My question is, how can you differentiate eccentricities from Aspergers. Not that I doubt her. It just seems to be quite a label to put on a child if they are not 100% certain.
The diagnostic criteria for Asperger's Syndrome, while imperfect, is very good at excluding people who really do not have it. Which is a complete contrast to a lot of other diagnostic criteria out there. Generally speaking, when a trained autism specialist believes you are an Aspie, they have a lot of good reasons.
So what? Not all patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder fit the diagnostic criteria completely. Does that mean that they are not schizophrenic or bipolar? Maybe you should read what I was saying again - that the diagnostic criteria is exclusive rather than all-inclusive. That makes a big difference to diagnostic specialists.
presuming there are 50 cards each with a different pattern, then the fact that from a sample of 2 drawn from the deck, you mentioned both patterns (albeit transposed) is still a rather good effort.
the ocean is carpeted with straws. if i was drowning and found a straw, at least i could use it as a snorkel for one more second as i sink. why does anyone bother to take their last breath? it seems futile.

First of all they are basing it on todays standards which are entirely different then they were 100 years ago. While he may not fit the standard by that one comment you cannot exclude him. Tim burton, al einstein, and emily dickinson, and andy warhol are all said to have AS.

See my response to Alexmagnus below. Asperger's diagnostic criteria was written sixty years ago, and very much excludes Einstein. Saying that other people said more than once that Einstein had Asperger's Syndrome only proves ignorance on the part of the people you quote. Instead of trying to blur the distinctions, why not celebrate the fact that this proves attempts by the curebie community to negate us amount to them talking out of their anus?

Einstein had HFA? LOL.... I mean most people consider HFA to be something "lower functioning" than Asperger's... Is late talking really enough to say he was not an Aspie?
alexmagnus1 4 years ago
The diagnostic criteria for Asperger's Syndrome reads, and this is a direct quote: "(IV) There is no clinically significant general delay in language (E.G. single words used by age 2 years, communicative phrases used by age 3 years)"
Again, Einstein was totally nonverbal before his third birthday. Do the math.

I have some autistic traits and am a self-diagnosed Aspie. But after what you told... I started speaking at two and a half - but immediately with whole phrases, I didn't go through the "single words" stadium. So (assuming that my autistic traits are enough for autism diagnosis at all), was my childhood development too slow for an Aspie (first words by two and a half) or fast enough (first phrases by two and a half too....)?

One popular complaint about the DSM-IV criteria is that its wording is easy to misinterpret, so I cannot tell you how skipping single-word usage affects the whole story. Because I honestly do not know. However, I suspect that with the way the diagnostic criteria is worded, the use of full phrases at 2.5 years would translate as "no significant delay" to them.

You seem to have it yourself, and you have the wanna-be- god like traits of imposing your beliefs on others. I for one care neither way. I just wanted you to note that simply because einstein wasnt speaking until 3 doesnt exclude him. He merely needs to fill one or more in the criteria and not every last one. You need to relax... check the BBC editorial about einstein and AS as well as other sources, its a debate I will leave to the scientists and not you and I.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but the diagnostic criteria is simply written that way. If you have any speech delay, you are either HFA or LFA depending on other criteria, simple as that. Quite honestly, I think that distinction helps a lot because the prevalent attitude in the 1980s ("verbal = not autistic") hurt us a lot, and the distinction helps explain late diagnosis.

able to talk and willing to talk are 2 different things.
i am asperger and i have an high iq and i knew exactly how to talk about a year before i said anything.
the first sentence i said was complete and used many words.
the doctors and my parents were very surprised.
maybe einstein was smart enough to know it is of little use to verbalise things until you need to.

Given that the diagnostic criteria, like all those shown in the DSM-IV, relies on external observation, the distinction is meaningless. Nonverbalism past age three is consistent with HFA, period. I am not saying the criteria is set in stone, in fact I only point it out because it does so much to turn normie expectations of autism on their head.
aspie182 4 years ago
Thats interesting because i was nonverbal til age three (not diagnosed with anything) but i started talking in full sentences. That only meets one of the five diagnostic criteria for autism though.

Did he sart with single words or immediately with whole phrases? (see also the comment to your reply).
alexmagnus1 4 years ago
ok i highly doubt aspies have a higher than average intelligence, and mines been put at 135 ("genius" level) by WAIS so shut your mouth disorder kid ill say whatever i want

John? John Best? Is that you? Seriously, before you accuse people fighting for their right to be themselves of stupidity, you should take a good look at their opposition.
aspie182 4 years ago
I dont think this comment makes any sense. "fighting for their right to be themselves of stupidity? I agree, before you start making statements in opposition of people maybe you should also look at yourself. It seems you have problems of your own...

Maybe you should learn some reading and comprehension skills, because it is clear that you want whatever you say to "just go", when it is in fact consistently hogwash. Hell, why don't you start by trying to read all of the sentence you quote, not just the part you like. Confucious say "when you read half of sentence, you lose all of meaning".
aspie182 4 years ago
Wow lots of responses. But don't call me a no nothing twit. Im in counseling and my IQ got tested at 135 on WAIS. BTW i didn't start talking till 3 either.. but i started talking in full sentences, HFA you say? i'll look into it.
fatline99 4 years ago
I'd be pretty psyched if i have a disorder like HFA...maybe ill get some special treatment and prescription psychedelics. :)

My cousin claims her son has this. My question is, how can you differentiate eccentricities from Aspergers. Not that I doubt her. It just seems to be quite a label to put on a child if they are not 100% certain.
jerrypwjr 4 years ago
The diagnostic criteria for Asperger's Syndrome, while imperfect, is very good at excluding people who really do not have it. Which is a complete contrast to a lot of other diagnostic criteria out there. Generally speaking, when a trained autism specialist believes you are an Aspie, they have a lot of good reasons.
aspie182 4 years ago
Not all Aspies fit 100% of criteria.
alexmagnus1 4 years ago
True. However, at least each prong of the triad of impairment needs to be represented in some way to get the "official" diagnosis.
whitetigerdream 4 years ago
So what? Not all patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder fit the diagnostic criteria completely. Does that mean that they are not schizophrenic or bipolar? Maybe you should read what I was saying again - that the diagnostic criteria is exclusive rather than all-inclusive. That makes a big difference to diagnostic specialists.

comment 2:
presuming there are 50 cards each with a different pattern, then the fact that from a sample of 2 drawn from the deck, you mentioned both patterns (albeit transposed) is still a rather good effort.

the ocean is carpeted with straws. if i was drowning and found a straw, at least i could use it as a snorkel for one more second as i sink. why does anyone bother to take their last breath? it seems futile.
