I hope not to many people give you heck about this.Not really. I've only really told a few friends and officials about it, to be honest. I did used to have some problems with it (IE. Anger issues, but these were more or less sorted out by Anger Management lessons), but I'm mostly OK now.
I have Asperger's Syndrome. And traits of Tourette's. =D Always fun in conversations.Like what LLB, I could never tell from the way you posted. Hopefully it's a minor case :beer:
Is there anybody else here who has Asperger's Syndrome?I do.
I did used to have some problems with it (IE. Anger issues, but these were more or less sorted out by Anger Management lessons), but I'm mostly OK now.You angry?
I used to be. But like I said, the Anger Management worked wonders (I had it at around age 15), and I do consider myself to be far harder to get angry than I used to be.I did used to have some problems with it (IE. Anger issues, but these were more or less sorted out by Anger Management lessons), but I'm mostly OK now.You angry?
You come across as a very calm person.
I'd have never guessed any of you had this from the way you post.

Mild case here guys. It's mild as far as my psycologist says, but it has had a huge affect on many parts of my life IRL and how a portray myself online.Sys, I know how it feels.
It's been a deciding factor in my thoughts on religion, caused subconcious weeding on my relationships with others and has also had a slight effect on what subjects I choose to study because of it's subtle alterations on what a feel and think.
It's hard to have free will when you are so objective by default, and poor at understanding the subtlety of the world.

I believe in God and Satan as well. Heck I'v had some run ins with demons, not fun.O.k, care to explain what happened?
Ever have a thought of suicide? That's caused by a demon.How is that caused by a demon?
I believe in God and Satan as well. Heck I'v had some run ins with demons, not fun.O.k, care to explain what happened?
It is caused by your collosal lack of self-esteem that you don't want to admit to. =P...Lack of self esteem? I think very highly of myself, thank you. I mean hell, I can modify my PC with a hammer and duct tape and it will turn out better than before!
There's usually a reasonable explanation for such things.I believe in God and Satan as well. Heck I'v had some run ins with demons, not fun.O.k, care to explain what happened?
You want me to tell you of one of them? Alright have you ever bin pushed into your bed when your laying face down? If your in the position you could end up suffocating. Lucky my head was off to the side so I could still breath but the pressure was there. Heck my body is getting shaky as recall this. Any way as the pressure continued the deeper I went into the bed. The worst part of it is the it almost froze my body, I could not move a inch all I could do was think thats it. It went away when my moms alarm clock went and the bed springs pushed me back up to the level I normally go to. I got up and every mussel in my body felt like it was twitching after that. No it was not a dream. I know because my eyes were open and when it went away I went out into the hall way in my place.
Would you like another encounter?

Plus demons wanting to kill you doesn't make much sence by bible lore really.
[/size]Infact, there could still be a god, i'll admit that, but frankly if he exists, he can still shove his religion where the sun don't shine.
Well, it seems some people just refer to magical thought as a lifesaving buoy when their logic fails to grasp and understand their problems.Yep, that seems to be what's happened.
Oh yeah, I remember another example.
One time I pulled a muscle in my neck, and my mother (this was before she died) had me come to the church. A group of nice old ladies (including my mother) prayed for me and I was instantly healed.
And then there was the time I was helping a friend not commit suicide. We were praying for him and he survived drinking a bottle and a half of Everclear.

Prayer does have power. My Grandma is still alive even after she had canser(sorry can remember and spell check not working with me) and was sent home to die. I could put you in contacted if you want proof.
From mental illneses to god and religion, oh the irony is going to kill me.
Then explain how he survived. Drinking that much alcohol is certain death.
Hydrovism. A mix of communism and capitalism with some extra rights. One of them is freedom of religion.

Eh, true marxist communism and capitalism don't mix.
By the government owning the means of production, but having it be a free market.
No, it's Hydrovism.
:laughingFrom mental illneses to god and religion, oh the irony is going to kill me.
AHAHAHAHAHA YES
@Hydro : I hope you recognize the irony of both believing in religion and posing as a communist...
Personally I do have a bit of respect for Gorbatchev and Elstin. The other communist/russian leaders Not so much.Yeah, TBH it could have worked if it had been initiated much sooner.
HELL YES ! THE OFF TOPIC ! IT'S DELICIOUS !
I respect Gorbachev highly, not really any of the others (Maybe Tito).
Umm, can we get BOT pleaseYes.
IRL im quiet, shy and almost always alone in my room minding my own business. I do ge angry and sad at times, but I dont express them in anyway, I just keep them inside and doing that causes me some serious headache for quite a while, there might come the time when I cant take that anymore and snap.Same for me actually, although I do the overly-happpy on the edge thing instead of the shy and quiet thing.
I have ADHD and duct tape.A lethal combination in the right hands.
Whereas in the left hands, it's quite easy to subdue.I have ADHD and duct tape.A lethal combination in the right hands.
OH, ladies and gentlemen, WE HAVE A WINNEEERRRR.Whereas in the left hands, it's quite easy to subdue.I have ADHD and duct tape.A lethal combination in the right hands.
Indeed.That really doesn't mean you have aspergers, otherwise i'd have been diagnosed with it ages ago ;)
I swear I must have the most minor case of Asperger's Syndrome. I have nil anger issues, I act fairly normally. The only thing that would indicate that I have it is my slightly unusual speech pattern (stuttering at the ends of words) and that I have obsessions with roller coasters and music.
Yeah, same with me. By now I've actually killed most of the negative aspects of Asperger's syndrome. I used to talk to myself all the time but I've stopped, used to get real stressed about getting in trouble but I've stopped, used to have a real sense of depression, had minor anger problems and many other things. They're all gone thanks to some self training and common sense injected over a 1.5 year period (anti NFX/Serge guard in place). I remain sort of empathic and all that stuff so I'm happy.
Still, communism in soviet russia was screwed once stalin got in power.

Yeah pretty much, it's an ideological system, only gorbachevs communism could have worked IMO.Still, communism in soviet russia was screwed once stalin got in power.
Communism is a system that can't work on a larger scale. Somebody will still get more power, and when that happens, Soviet Russia happens. People starve, the market is empty of everyday products, the national debt grows. Not fun.

You definitely have Crazy Syndrome
Minor mental disorder is just nonsense made up to rip money off from obnoxious women.
Then we have drugs..... And yeah anyone who smoke a joint knows that feel good drugs work. It doesn't mean being intoxicated is the state of a normal mind.
Put in another way, if you can stay in school/maintain a job, you don't have problems.
I don't doubt some people are crazy. The made up nonsense is when people tell you you have a "minor" or "mild" case of a disorder and needed "therapy" or "counseling", when you were living your day to day life just fine all along.Minor mental disorder is just nonsense made up to rip money off from obnoxious women.
That is an oversimplification. Mental disorders (those that affect someones quality of life) are very real. I honestly don't know what you mean by "minor."
Look at it this way, there are some people who can't stop crying and think about how worthless they are in their bed, I can see why those people needed Prozac. Even then functionality should not be equated with normality, as normality implies some kind of objective state of values/beliefs that everyone must strive for.Then we have drugs..... And yeah anyone who smoke a joint knows that feel good drugs work. It doesn't mean being intoxicated is the state of a normal mind.
Comparing recreational drugs to psychiatric drugs isn't all that fair.

The moment we stop trying to "normalize" people and recognize that psychiatric drugs are used for "functional" purposes, the line between recreational and psychiatric drugs becomes meaningless. Drugs should be judged based on their effects.
With the bad press aside, marijuana works wonders as an anti depressant/anti anxiety/pain relief.
Wasn't it said somewhere that LRA2 had this? *censored for younger viewers*Indeed that is correct! And at my age its not going well with this forum.

Some psychiatric drugs are crap, I definitely agree with you there. However, drugs that are used to treat ADD or Tourettes have effects on the body that are different than recreational drugs. These drugs improves people's standards of living by making their disorders more manageable. There is a distinction that can be drawn between psychiatric drugs and recreational drugs.

123's intellectual rants (not that's it's a bad thing) slightly reminds me of madiaba :PBesides drugs, people are shackles to many recreational things, such as television or gaming.
Anyways, drugs in general can be considered as bad because they are mostly shackles (Yes, I'm talking of alcohol as well, even if I drink some). Unless you can't control yourself without special drugs of course, but then it's a "necessary evil" and needs to be fixed.
Jesus christ, do you even read your own posts urjak?

Can I be labeled wrong for hearing voices in my head? They're telling me to kill and drink the blood of my cat...
And yet you just labeled him insane.Can I be labeled wrong for hearing voices in my head? They're telling me to kill and drink the blood of my cat...
No... That's just Insanity

But really, if you look closely enough, you can find something "wrong" with ANYONE and slap some kind of a label on them. There's no such thing as a normal person.QFT.

Because that's how awesome I am >:DWhat if I enjoy slicing my hand open? I'm getting good at not drawing any blood when I do it...
How can a person believing he is destined for greatness can cut itself this ?

I'm more interested in how that's posible. Do you not have enough blood? Or is it just so clotted up? (no offense)
I realize I might actually be that. Lack of empathy, low social skills overall, a certain clumsiness.

Maybe people like this are socially akward but you shouldent tease them or anything, Just annoy the ones that are "Normal" (No offence to anyone) but act like assholes :P
We have an autist guy in our school & EVeryone calls him gay & Stuff (He acts pretty girly)
But I dont, I dont go talking to him & Stuff but I also dont go bullying him calling him stuff just coz hes an autist guy, Its not really his fault :\
If he acted girly on porpouse to get attention though I should slap the hell outta him & Bend him ovah (Jk xD)
I would just annoy the hell outta him but yeah, Its not his fault :P
PS: IDK but my last 2 comments have been long, I feel like typing right now :3
I walk about two kilometers every day. And I have been eating less. I seem to never notice that I hadn't eaten all day, actually...
I realize I might actually be that. Lack of empathy, low social skills overall, a certain clumsiness.All these stuff are overrated anyway. Men had always live without them throughout history, and only after the feminist movement were men expected to care about other people's feelings.

Unfortunately your wrong. Mental disorders don't always work out that way.
I get the feeling that Asperger's is overly diagnosed (and all too often, overly self diagnosed).
I get the feeling that Asperger's is overly diagnosed (and all too often, overly self diagnosed). Unless the condition consumes your life, do you really have it, or are you trying to use it as a way to explain your oddities? I say embrace your oddities! Just because you don't fit into the predefined mold of what a good human should be, that doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. The problem lies in the mold.Same with ADD and ADHD in my opinion.
Personally, I thought it was mainly ADD and Bipolar Disorder that suffered from Misdiagnosing.I contend that ADD doesn't exist. Personally, I think the problem lies with the educators/parents. Instead of assuming there is something wrong with the kid, they should examine how they're trying to reach out to the kid. Perhaps the kid just finds them to be boring.

then Sexuality is just an opinion :pWhat? That makes no sense. If you mean that sexuality is a matter of preference, I agree. I'm not a big fan of gender or sexuality labels, so I wouldn't mind seeing those go.
Sexuality is not a sickness, But being homo/bisexual still exists.Biologically speaking, the goal of any organism is to thrive. Part of thriving is reproduction. However, overcrowding can be detrimental to this goal. Perhaps homosexuality is a natural wild card thrown in to deal with population control. (I base this off of nothing more than my own speculation.)
We are not supposed to like our own gender, We are supposed to reproduce, Wich cant be done with 2 women or men :P
Im not saying Homosexuality is wrong, But its not exactly how its "Supposed to be"
Those labels that people use to describe people that like their own gender (Or both) are not supposed to be insulting, Its just to define what kind of person they like but its still used as a way of insulting peopleThe problem with these labels is that there are no grey areas. Say you're straight and you get blown by a transgendered woman. You didn't know that the "woman" who blew you had a penis. You enjoyed the blow job and are absolutely infatuated with this "woman".
Thats why you gotta be really carefull, Coz "Hes gay" can be misinterpreted into an insult, Rather than a way to tell somebody that that person likes their own gender :PYou could always say, "He's attracted to other guys."
In before SOTG.It's still relevant, I say. The discussion is currently riffing on the idea of people being slapped with labels for not fitting into an unrealistic societal mold. It's applicable to sexuality as sexuality is an aspect of our personalities.
(I wonder how powerrave feels about his girlfriend's name being used as a synonym for thread derailment.)
We already have a multitude of threads about homosexuality debates, guys. One of them even posted in just yesterday! We don't need any more. This is about ASPERGER'S SYNDROME and related conditions.
The way I look at it, there are three types of people. "average" people who are the norm being strait, social, etc. Then there are people with abnormal qualities like me and you (I have ADHD) and then, there are pedophiles. That burns to type.That's either a poor joke, or a failure of logic on a massive scale.
Homosexuality is not abnormal.
