I was talking about my girlfriend troubles in the DA forums, and someone said something to the effect of "AS is mostly BS" (I didn't mention my AS in the thread, but I mention it on my DA ID). Thinking she was saying that I was making my condition up, I told her that I actually had been diagnosed with AS. Then this fuckwad comes in and accuses me of using my AS as an excuse for my problems, even though I wasn't. I did not say anywhere in the whole f*****g thread that my AS excused me from any bad behavior on my part. After I told him that, the as*hole quoted me as saying, "[My AS] is not something I made up to explain my poor social skills", even though any idiot reading the post where I said that would know that I was merely responding to the other poster who said AS was BS.

The funny thing is, this ass-licker claims to have AS himself.

I'm sorry you had that experience. One thing to think about, is that if the guy has AS, he might be misinterpreting what you said. He also may be struggling with his own problems, or even in denial, and what he was saying to you was more about him than you. It's pretty ironic that he was saying AS was a crock and used as an excuse for bad behavior and he's the one who acted like a d-bag. You...have to find a little humor in that and chalk it up to the syndrome. Right?

Hope you let it go and feel better soon.

Actually, the person who said AS was a crock was a different poster from the one who accused me of using AS as an excuse. But thanks for the consolation anyway.

UPDATE: The guy I'm arguing with admitted that English was not his first language, so I'm going to take back all the nasty things I said about him here. He must have misread my post.

Some aspies do think their condition is BS and made up. I have thought that for a while when I was 16 until my shrink told me yes it does happen to everybody but it happens to us more it makes it an impairment.

I do agree it is possible he mistranslated your post. That happens when English isn't their first language so they misunderstand what you have said and think you said something else you never said. I've been there.

Misunderstandings happen all the time. I am glad that the person probably did not mean it.

Personally, I have been accussed by people that I use my autism diagnosis as an excuse or to escape from a situation. They do not understand that my brain processes information differently.

If people are not trying to be understanding, and are being downright confrontational, just do not associate with them because he or she has already made it clear they do now want to take the time to know you or help you.
