Why did God make people with AS?

Post Reply New Topic

I have thought about this alot. Why did God decide to make a group of people that can't really understand or get the body languge and social cues of most people? Why did God make a whole group of people that are lonely and miserable (in general)? Why did God let people with AS suffer so much? God made AS, God causes people with AS to be miserable and depressed because no matter what I do to change to try and relate to people, I can never get the body languge or cues. I have to always think "did he really mean that, or did he mean the oppisite?" I think God made people with AS so we can be in a living hell and he get amused seeing people suffer.

God can kiss my butt.

I have thought that if I ever met god I would take a swing.
Hope he/she doesnt read this site.

Goodness - most people are miserable and suffer, God is mean to many people. Well if he exists.

Though the reason most of our lot are miserable is because 99% of us lack the testicular fortitude to do what is right and what needs to be done. We need to gain some self respect and comradeship, then fight back.

are you saying women aren't suited to do what is right and what needs to be done?

Metaphor? They can be so much fun. You miss the main point here.

Or are you trying to enforce political correctness on us all, in which case I might point out we are a group harmed a lot by it in general. Namely because of our general ineptude when it comes to complying.

No, he's saying only women are suited to do what is right and what needs to be done, since we're the ones who don't constantly worry about leaving our gonads swinging in the breeze, but simply tuck them away and get on with life. I have no idea why he's so down on the menfolk though.

no 'political correctness', you brought up the necessity of male reproductive organs to do right, which eliminates half of homo sapians. Being in that half you eliminated, I was affected. See how that works?

I am always sorry to hear when people are miserable with AS/autism. I have social awkwardness. I misread people frequently. I take things literally. I often don't get other people's humor. I have sensory issues. Eye contact is a challenge for me. Well, I could go on and on but...

I believe God gave me a special gift...a gift called AS/autism. The gift of autism is so special that it comes with challenges. But, by getting around those challenges, there are incredible things to be found. Those things are special intense interests and/or talents.

My best friend as a child was autism. Today, autism is still my best friend. I have always loved the things God has given me through autism.

I know some of you get upset when this kind of talk is mentioned, but, do you wish to stay miserable? Or do you want to find happiness? If you want to find happiness in autism, please try to do this:

*try to focus away from the negatives a little bit...and find better things to focus on
*accept yourself as a valued member of society...the world is built upon diversity---and we as autistics add to that diversity
*there are gifts waiting for you to discover them...unwrap them, accept them, nurture them, and let them become your friend

Remember that many people on this earth are unhappy---it's not just something that some autistics have. Many NTs are unhappy too. We must all find ways to become happy if we are not happy already. If something causes you problems, you have to work around it or ignore it. My special intense interests and talents became my substitute for socializing. I accept that. Autism has created in me an inwardness into my interests that is fun and rewarding. You can do the same---you can find happiness in absorbing into interests.

If you don't believe this can work, can you at least give it a try if you are unhappy? What do you have to lose? Imagine yourself inside a huge library---what books would you go to? Could these book topic(s) become an interest for you? Research these interests. Get excited about them. Please...just try. My mission is that all of us with autism can find the gifts and happiness it can give us. I give thanks to God for making me autistic. May you find that peace too.

Blaming God is a copout. All humans have challenges whether they have AS or not. Some of them much worse off than us. Blaming God, anyone, or anything else just gives us a reason not to do anything about it.

God gave a gift but as they say "God giveth and God taketh awayeth". I'm not sure if that's actually in the bible or just something I made up but that isn't the point. He gave us a gift but he had to keept things balanced so he took away some of our socialising skills, skills which if I may add I believe to be unecessary. We advance the species, some of us have it worse off than others but we just need to fight through it. As Mother Thersa said "God would never give me something he knew I could not survive". Or something along those lines. I thank God for my Aspergers, you should try getting in touch with him too some time, you have no idea how he'll reveal himself.

Why did God make people with AS?
Maybe he figured he'd get it right this time,

Creativity? Painful creativity?

It is interesting that people either ignorantly or arrogantly presume to blame God when something does not seem right and then turn around and ignorantly or arrogantly presume to take the credit when all is well!



I am not aware of His having done that. Are you sure you do not have Him confused with Santa Claus or someone?



Again, I am not aware of His having done that. To the best of my knowledge, and with the occasional exception such as someone surviving an abortion, not one of us was born without at least a mother and some nurishment nearby.



So much as what?



Are you sure?




Are you sure?



Me neither, but very few of those people ever really have much to offer anyway.



Not a chance.



He might, but you would probably have to at least try to ask nicely ...

Agree

I remember you asking this three years go. God isn't real.

Spokane that's a point of view not a fact. Some people believe there is a God and I am amongst them. You just have to find them. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm trying to convert you, I'm not. I just want to point out that just because you believe there's no God doesn't mean there isn't one.
