Have questions about Aspergers? Have them answered here! - General

I remember back in public school I knew this autistic girl named "Autumn" everyone joked on how close her name was to autism, she was a foster child and her real parent's last name's were "Wigglesworth" I'm not even fucking joking when I say that.

[QUOTE=Jsm;31337208]Its a spectrum, you are an idiot.[/QUOTE] Isn't the world just lovely? Instead of blaming horrible parents for allowing their children to not mature socially we just slap the "asperger" label on them and pay for psychiatrists, gd's, and pharmacological companies. Whatever doesn't put the blame on myself must be better for my kids, right?

[QUOTE=Artemis;31337441]FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME, IN ORDER TO HAVE A MENTAL FUCKING ILLNESS IT HAS TO BE DISRUPTING YOUR FUCKING DAILY LIFE! Otherwise it simply IS NOT A FUCKING MENTAL ILLNESS you daft weaboo. You guys keep going and throwing more and more money at pharmaceutical companies, I'll be having fun with my non-autistic life eating candy corn and masturbating out of windows. If nothing is disrupting your daily life then nothing is fucking wrong with you, it is that goddamn simple.[/QUOTE] You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, I've worked with severely Autistic kids before, they show a lot of the same signs as most Asperger kids. You're a fucking idiot. Until you get a medical degree, you can fucking leave Facepunch for good. [editline]25th July 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Artemis;31337670]Isn't the world just lovely?

Fuck off, seriously, you're simply threadshitting and trying to rustle up a debate.

Let me clear this up for you Artemis: It doesn't affect me [I]physically[/I]. It affects me [I]mentally[/I]. I win

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;31338404]Let me clear this up for you Artemis: It doesn't affect me [I]physically[/I]. It affects me [I]mentally[/I]. I win[/QUOTE] That proves him right though. He's saying that without daily life being affected then you're fine. If you are affected, physically or [i]mentally[/i] then you do have something wrong with you, according to the DMV or whatever he said.

[QUOTE=Artemis;31338439]I would actually claim that you are the fucking idiot, you can't even understand what I'm saying in my posts. Maybe you should get yourself checked for down syndrome. [editline]25th July 2011[/editline] No you don't, you an attention whoring nerd.[/QUOTE] I understand what you're saying, you're trying to say that it isn't a mental illness if it doesn't affect your everyday life, well Medical Science says it can be a mental illness if it doesn't. You're a fucking idiot who wants to start arguments and that's your only goal in life.

[QUOTE=Artemis;31338439]No you don't, you an attention whoring nerd.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't this be considered flaming? And the correct statement would be "No you don't, you attention whoring nerd." or "No you don't, your just an attention whoring nerd." Thank you for the ad hominems, it really looks like it helped your argument.

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_Asperger_syndrome[/url] [quote] Underdiagnosis and overdiagnosis are problems in marginal cases; the increasing popularity of drug treatment options and the expansion of benefits has given providers incentives to diagnose ASD, resulting in some overdiagnosis of children with uncertain symptoms. Conversely, the cost of screening and diagnosis and the challenge of obtaining payment can inhibit or delay diagnosis.[/quote] You're just fucking quirky and a nerd, weird != aspergers.

I am clumsy as fuck and I shake all the time. I can remember specific song lyrics, movie lines, book pages and the such too. I stutter when I talk, I have social anxiety so it is VERY common for me to do so. I'm incredibly interested in Russian history, Eastern European history, politics, psychology, and medical biology, and I complete involve myself in music. Does that mean I'm autistic too OP?

Do you constantly stutter when talking to others face-to-face? And I'm not wasting my doctors time. Seriously, fuck off.

Your doctor probably likes getting patients as it means he gets paid. Mine gets paid either way.

[QUOTE=Artemis;31338698]Does that mean I'm autistic too OP?[/QUOTE] It's quite obvious that you're trolling, and I'm really getting sick of it. Either contribute to this thread, or get out, seriously.

does Abed from Community have aspergers?

[QUOTE=wlitsots;31338806]does Abed from Community have aspergers?[/QUOTE] Pretty sure that was in the 2nd/3rd episode.

Can other people around you tell that you have it

[QUOTE=XZXk;31338822]Can other people around you tell that you have it[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, yes. It's probably because of my jitteriness when I don't take my medication.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;31339588]Sorry for the mixup :buddy:[/QUOTE] No problem, I'm sorry if I'm coming across as flippant or even rude. This subject really interests me and in England it isn't diagnosed as much as in America. It may be because the healthcare systems are different, but it just surprises me how many people say they have it and then list symptoms that sound completely normal.
