Wow, Unknown, you have done a lot of spam, back to the thread, :shock: :shock: :shock: I'm amazed at the fact that the human brain can be so unstable sometimes...no offense to anyone who has a condition. :oops:

Man, I know how it is to have Asperger's, I have it. Hasn't stopped me from growing up and acting my age, even if I do tend to ignore people (or let myself be ignored) during conversations. Asperger's isn't a roadblock, it's a failure to NATURALLY comprehend the vocal cues that show the difference between sincerity and sarcasm, to NATURALLY read body language and facial clues, and sometmes even knowing when someione is talking to you.

In public, I struggle to pay attention when I want to do other things, because... let's face it, I'll never get out of my parents' house if I don't get a job. I've struggled with it for ten years--technically, nine years and nine months--and so I've gotten good at coping with it. The biggest thing I've learned is to always think out my speech before i say anything, and to pay extra close attention to things, because if I don't try to hear vocal clues and see body language an facial signals, I do miss them.

As far as killing humans, I don't particularly think it would help anybody out, since everyoone, ourselves included, would be dead. I mean, maybe you're going a little Seymour (FFX) on us, but killing people only makes more trouble -- kill the people, and you have to do all the work yourself.

I still overthink every social situation, and I suck at them. Buddy, I'm a 21 year old virgin (now by choice), and I'm attractive, funny, intelligent, charming...the whole package. My problem has been that I can't approach girls, even when they give me a look like they want me to talk to them. Once a conversation gets going, I'm okay, but coming up with a reason to say "hi", and coming up with the follow-up, that's our greatest burden. I feel the deepest level of empathy for you.

I was diagnosed with it /at/ 18, before which they thought it was just ADD. I'm now 21, unemployed, single, virgin... and I don't care if people think it's bad for me to be those things. Well, aside from the unemployed bit, which I agree with being bad. I know I need money, I know I need to get out of this fucking house before this divorce drives me insane (or at least more so than I already am), and to do that, I need a job! Everywhere I go that says they're... sorry, topic for another rant.

It's a constant struggle to live in this world with Asperger's, but it's worth the effort. I think.

It's safe to say that this site draws a disproportionately large number of us. In all honesty, I now believe that I probably have something other than Asperger's. I was originally diagnosed as bi-polar, which might be closer to the truth. When I was about 8, they decided that my inability to understand social cues made me autistic. Of course, it would be high-functioning in my case. They decided that it must be the reason why I "acted up". In retrospect, I understood the social cues perfectly, but I chose to ignore them. I knew the rules of my school, but I didn't like them, so I didn't follow them. If a kid teases me, I should be allowed to tackle him. For some reason, they had a problem with that. There was an endless variety of drugs forced upon me by my parents. One made me fat; another stunted my growth. Why did I act up? I did it because I enjoyed it, because it got me famous among my peers, and because being the wiseass student who keeps the teachers on their toes, just so they won't be tempted to think that they can abuse their authority, is my role, or at least my persona. My parents just couldn't accept this. They told me that what I did wasn't right, and that drugs were the answer. To the day I die, I'll make my claim. I'm right; the system is wrong. Whoa, how did I end up on this tangent? Oh yeah, because they fucked me up, I ended up as socially inept as someone with Asperger's. Not having any friends for years certainly didn't help. I've slowly started to come out of my shell, very slowly. Now they're telling me that I "cured" myself. Whatever I have, I think it's probably one of a kind. As a fellow 21 year old virgin with an uncertain future who spends most of his time at home, I can still feel for you.

this seems like a bad problem to have I don't think I have a real problem just stuff I can't/ won't do or fix so I don't really know what you're talking about
