It is amazing how nts portray as crazy or weird.

I get that people can be a little strange.

But nts are way weirder and more irrational than us.

Pot, kettle, black.

Anything not understood, is strange. Or magic.

I don't think everyone with AS has that issue...but I don't think my current mental state can be referred to as 'sane' so uhh yeah. Not even entirely sure what is going on, I have no idea what i want, don't want or what anxieties I keep obsessing over have a rational basis or not don't know what to do with myself oh and earlier I decided not having any motivation to do anything is worse than boredom. I want to laugh and punch walls at the same time....

I feel pretty crazy and weird, but I agree having AS does not necessarily make one that way...though I imagine to neurotypicals people with AS may come off a little weird but then again they wouldn't be weird for someone who has AS they would be weird for a neurotypical if that makes any sense.

apparently.

I've about come to the conclusion there is not one sane person on this planet and we are all varying amounts of crazy.

Hell, people with aspergers can be crazy irrational as well. I would know.

The more syndromes and disorders I have been diagnosed with, the more I have come to realize that
if you're different in any way from the majority of society, you're crazy, an outcast, or a genius.

Crazy, if you do things that don't make sense to the shallow, casual onlooker that glances for a moment.

An outcast if your actions, however harmless they may be, offend the norm.

A genius if you happen to capitalize on your differences and change the status quo or further knowledge a bit.

These are labels that people categorize the different into. The problem is them, not the different people. I have not met a neurotypical person that can fully understand what it's like to have ASD and everything else that I have.

Everyone's going to view us as odd, and most will try to change us (make us their projects) or will shun us and not care.
I just resigned to being odd and I quit giving a crap about what people think.
