  • I have aspergers syndrome 

  • Wow, this explains a lot for me. My boyfriend was diagnosed with aspergers syndrom and he always gets chronic migrains whenever there are loud noises. For the longest time I thought he was making it up but then I saw how much pain it would put him in, I cant believe I didnt put two and two together before this

  • @xpallodoc How do we Aspies make money off of being who we are?

  • @andrew34765 You do of course realize that there is a difference between high-functioning and low-functioning, right? I'm high-functioning, and I'm just like you. You just may do better. It's not like if you do good with a symptom you don't have it.

  • @1122ares Being an Aspie myself, I'm proud to say that I'm autistic. It's not offensive. It's the way we are. We're on the spectrum. We're autistic. We're just further down the line. It's not a bad thing. Embrace it.

  • ASPERGERS IS NNNNOOOOTTTT A FORM OF AUTISM!!!!!! IT IS ON THE SPECTRUM BECAUSE THEY SHARE BASIC SIMILARITIES. BEING ON THE SAME SPECTRUM DOESN'T MEAN IF YOU HAVE ASPERGERS THAT YOU HAVE AUTISM! PLEASE STOP SAYING ASPIES HAVE AUTISM, THEY DON'T AND IT'S VERY OFFENSIVE!!!

  • @xpallodoc make money how?

  • haha, The doctors tried to diagnose me with aspergers and I was like, WHAT?

    but it wasn't that bad, however the more I study it, the more it seems I do..

    and I agree with her, plus she seems nice :D

  • Aspergers is a pointless label used to make people money who take advantage of this type of person by labeling them pointlessly

  • Well said
