Aspergers Syndrome Bikini Artist and Diagnosis

I believe that a lot of people feel they have Aspergers because they have read up books such as by Tony Attwood or other famouse people. But actually it is pretty rare. In my opinion people are all coming out now and saying they have it to get sympathy or be called little einsteins. It can get you special help in schools, so far from discouraging it Parents are now wanting kids to have it. However it remains that it is very rare and even rarer in girls. To pass the Diagnostic Criteria for AS you have to have school reports, psycholoogical reports and counselling reports. It is not just a simple case of saying you have it and the Doctor agreeing with you. Now I have seen a lot on youtube that claim to hbave th condition yet do not have a photographic memory, have no problems with socialising or expressing themselves. In my opinion you should at least meet 80% of the Diagnostic Criteria to be seen as an Aspie. Just being shy to make eye contact is not enough.

And hey-- I'm a nice, pretty, smart, self confident (but ever humble) lady, who tries hard to be a part of the community despite my social anxieties-- maybe that's why i have friends/lover/social skills? i practiced. cognitive behavioral therapy can be the bomb.

dont be a chicken and not approve my comments!

You are also very modest by the sounds of it lol. Anyway I sent you a message yesterday and still no reply. My friend has AS and is very good at art also. CBT is a cheap way of counselling someone I do not believe in it as it doesn't get to the route of the problem as conventional methods. But if it worked for you then great.

I'm not your lab rat, I'm not out to prove anything to you, and my artwork and accomplishments are hardly proof that I'm not mildly autistic! they just show that despite all that shit, I'm awesome! you should get out there and celebrate how you are awesome, too, rather than wasting time and bandwidth with this prattle. or maybe you have a career in tabloid literature?

[Aspergianstar2009]

I agree some severe Autistics can draw amazing detail when it comes to buildings etc. I don't know what shit you went through. I know that you are very modest LOL. You say you are Pretty, but you are not talking to an NT here. You are talking to an Aspie who looks beyond the shell. Your videos seems to contrast each other. The one of you in a Bikini and the one of you talking about AS. A lot of others feel the same way if you look at your coments. I may be wrong though!!

Hi there, dude. Hope you're doing well. I am inclined to make a list about the ways you're mistaken about me, but suffice to say, you've never met me, so you can't be an authority on the topic. your speculation is based on information found on the internet. the truth is i'm an actual human being and i chose to share part of a very personal struggle with the world. i don't regret that decision, but i hope if you can gain nothing from it you would at least have the human decency to move on.

[Aspergianstar2009]

You have never met me either. I want to ask you one thing were you behind that smere campaign to do with Encyclopedia Dramatica. Because it all started when I said one word against your video. It just seemed very odd to me. Like you I never give up and I never forget. I will find who was behind it and when I do GOD HELP THEM!!! My Speculation is based on me actually getting Diagnosed in 2004. Also running a Forum for 9 years on the topic an talking to others with AS.

I read about comorbid illness in the spectrum. Perhaps she has adhd. I was diagnosed with this once.

[milascave]

She seemed lie an aspie when i watched her videos. But neither of us realy know. The whole diagnoses was just recently created and is still subject to contreversy. It's a little early for us to start chelenging who is and who isn't based on superficial observations, I think.

Perhaps in twenty years we'll know a little more about what we are dealing with.

i agree with aspergianstar fully x

[Sillygoose731]

Sorry it would only let me post 500 characters at a time, and I tend to get wordy, so I had to split my post into several different ones. Hope they all came through and make sense :-)

[jethomp333]

I think she's an aspie. Even in that video where she's jumping around, you can tell somethings off about her.

[01stanbk]

i was wondering if you had any advise on being offishally diagnosed? my parents were tald i had aspergers by a educalal sycologist but no one profeshaly has told me and on all my statments and stuff it just says is sespected of have aspergers, it's very frustrating becouse it would explain a lot but i can't just say i have it when noone has propally riten it down. many people say go to your docotor but i just can't do that, ok it might sound stupid but i just wouldn't be able to do it. thanks

LOL As if I would treat you like that I have been awaiting in anticipation all your comments
