By the way. I went to your aspergers Forum. I need to be validated by an administrator.

[WillowMarsden]

@armshount I no longer own the forum, sorry. I tried to delete it off of my videos but it's a long job. We sold it and the buyer never did anything with it, so it's pretty dead now.

[armshount]

Another question... How do you feel if you touch or squeeze a cotton ball? Does the sound and sensation of the cotton ball cause any sensory issues like me? I hate cotton balls alot. Its a very uncomfortable thing for me. The sound also is uncomfortable when it is torn.

[WillowMarsden]

@armshount I don't like the way it creaks, but if I handle it in a certain way it's not too bad.

I have given up on fitting into society. I am open minded and accept everybody. I hate people who are judgmental. It really upsets me.. I want to go see a psychiatrist to see if I have Aspergers because I have alot of the symptoms of AS. It was your videos Willow that got me to get an appointment today. :)

[WillowMarsden]

@armshount I am glad my videos helped you. Let me know how your appointment goes. Sometimes they can be difficult because some professionals don't like to 'label' people with things like AS (hidden disabilities, really) for some reason, so you sort of have to see a few sometimes, for second (and third) opinions. All the people I saw said I was on the Autistic Spectrum, but a few didn't want to label me.

I am SOOOOOOOO very tired of people "un-diagnosing" other people (almost always women/girls) based on YouTube videos. Seriously people, that is absurd. For the same reasons a person needs to be evaluated by an experienced professional to know for certain whether or not they have AS, one can NOT make that determination based on a YOUTUBE VIDEO, even a series of them. It's so irrational that it's laughable. Even a professional can't legally/ethically make that determination based on these clips.

[WillowMarsden]

I only have one tooth out of line, it could be worse. I am not going to have it straightened because I am terrified of the dentist, and it's part of who I am.

[armshount]

@WillowMarsden The Psychiatric community doesn't know how to categorize Aspergers. They want to give it its own category. I will be sure to take that into consideration :)

[armshount]

@armshount Job interviews are difficult.. I still panic, but not as much as I did when I was younger. Back then I was really sensitive.. Now I don't care if people hate me or love me.. I love myself and I try to treat people with respect thats all that matters to me.. :)

[armshount]

@ahmadomusic I dont become anxious anymore or anything like that.. I totally isolated myself from people. I love myself and everything I am.. If anything I encourage people to act the way they are. I hope they do the same for me.. :) The only time where I have become anxious or have panicked before was when I was in a job interview. It is impossible to stay calm because you want to make a good impression.. But you know you will do something weird and screw up your interview. One problem for me.

[armshount]

could you validate me?

[armshount]

@WillowMarsden How do you want me to tell you? Do you want me to tell on here? I have MSN, and Facebook, and Yahoo.. How do you want me to tell you?

[armshount]

Oh, Has anyone ever heard of Systemic Desensitization?

I am probably writing too much right now.. Bye everybody.. :)

I won't write anymore :D

[armshount]

I hope I haven't upset you at all Willow? By the way un-diagnosing people on Youtube. In Psychology Obsessive interests and severe lack of social skills are the highlights of this disorder. You can't just watch a video and say someone is or isn't. Some AS people are different and have certain Psychological and behavioral differences in regards to each other!! As well as Intellectual differences as well. Some are higher functioning than others as well.
