I have high functioning autism as well- P.D.D-NOS. I really admire my fellow slightly autistic brethren, for they put up with a lot more shit from people with normal cognitive abilities. However I must say I often think of slight autism as a curse, a curse I would not wish on my own enemies. To not be able to understand other people socially and emotionally can be very deppressing, and can easily make you malcontented and bitter. How can you trust or like people if you can't understand them?

[tomhbwc]

I used to think of it as a curse too. Sometimes I still do. However, I remind myself of what comedian Christopher Titus said:"If you're normal, the crowd will accept you, but if you're deranged, they will make you their leader."

Thank you for posting this video. My 16 yr old son has high functioning Autism. He is a joy to me. We play video games together. P.S. Thank you for using the Tomb Raider music - one of my favorites!

[tomhbwc]

Your very welcome. It's nice that you and others actually like (and comment on) my video. I didn't think anyone would pay attention to it. P.S. I happen to be a video gamer myself. P.P.S. My sister likes the tomb raider theme song too.

I have to disagree with you on this. I hope there ISN'T a cure. I don't want people like me to be eliminated. Yea there are all kinds of issues with being Autistic. But, it's who I am. I am not something to be "cured".

Message from REDEMPTION: I have 3 questions, what type or kind of class would a child diagnosed with HFA be in? And second Do kids with HFA recieve diciplines or lunch detentions at school? And third will kids with HFA be able to get through middle school 6th 7th and 8th grade?

[mac19971]

Message from REDEMPTION: And also I've never heard the term Bipolar disorder in my life. Is this a new type of HFA?

[mac19971]

Message from REDEMPTION: I SUPPORT THIS VIDEO BECAUSE I HAVE HFA AS WELL, AND ALSO PDD-NOS. IM HAVING TROUBLE THINKING OF HOW SOMEONE LIKE YOU ME AND OTHERS WITH THIS SPECTRUM WILL BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. And one more thing how do you share this video with the world, because this is fantastic.

@matthias66 Doesn't that mean you could easily become a murderer? This means that you are similar to a robot? No feelings? What exactly is it?

I was diagnosed with HFA (i have bipolar as well) in middle school (I'm in my early 20's now), and even though I work in charities everyone thinks I'm mean and rude. I don't even realize that I'm being that way. Thanks for posting this video. It lets me know there are other people out there who struggle with social skills.
