  • It's called The Men's Room because it's specifically about men.

  • I must agree and disagree. My AS is NOT a disability per se, but the way people treat me because of their own lack of understanding (and falsely attributing things to me that are not true, just because they apply their own reasoning to me that is different from mine) is MAKING MY LIFE HELL! I have many friends with Autism with whom I get on great and never have any problems. But it's the bitchiness in some Neurotypicals is what really rattles my cage and I get into trouble for speaking out.

  • that's not actually true...

    I've never even heard about Asperger's until a few years ago and recognised myself totally. But I had a right struggle to even get a doctor's referral for dx because he said I'm a woman and "can't have it". I now have an official dx of Asperger's by the top speicialist in the field of Autism, but I was suicidal before I even got to see him. It's very hard for an adult to get a diagnosis of AS because there is no funding to provide the support we're entitled to after.

  • I sent to an aspie support group filled with aspies who are liviing land mines. All had horrific childhoods at home and were plagued with co morbid disorders. My psychiatrist said for me to stay away. No differnt than NTs who had similar back grounds. Their aspieness is the only thing that is saving them.

  • sorry as an aspie I disagree. The problem with underachievers who have aspergers lies in the fact of co morbid disorders and familial abuse. those who had poor upbringing or abuse and/or severe co morbid disorders are those who have delibilitations. Aspies are either Gold mines or land mines depending on parents and co morbid disorders

  • great video. i also have aspergers too

  • they do i know one she was very anoying

  • hey, my last name is welkowitz too, i though i was the only one left

  • I enjoyed this immensely, but Proudguy is right about the 'male' slant of this- they seemed to have tried to make aspergers fit in with the theme but they are overgeneralising and you do get women with Aspergers

  • Don't females get AS?
