>_> Hans Asperger should've been shot before he discoe

Post Reply New Topic

He ruined my life.
He cursed me.
He made me cut myself a lot a while ago.
He made me hate myself.
He should've been shot.

(Don't kill me for this)
(Unless you would ACTUALLY kill me, then go ahead)

i was upset and in denial when i was doagnosed.

then i accepted and embraced it.
came to terms with it.

while you dont feel so well now, i do know how you feel as i have been there.

what advice do i have for you?

AS, is in my opinion not problematic, it isnt the problem....it is how one choses to deal with it that can be problematic.

-_- I knew someone was going to do this...
How can you POSSIBLY embrace being too afraid to talk to others?
Or obsessing over one tiny subject?
Or being stalked by ret*ds who call themselves therapists?
Or others laughing at you for being "different?
It's impossible NOT to call that a problem.

o ok my apologies, sorry for not totally getting you.
pleas elet me try again.

i too was paralysed with shyness and reluctance to approach others in my adolescence.
i never have had to see any therapists without my consent, i have always chosen to see psychologusts and didnt consider them to be stalking me. i wanted help and i felt and still feel that they CAN help..the trick with therapists thou is that they never tell you explicitly what to do...which is what a lot of As like...they allow you to try and see what the problems are for yourself......once identified they can become self limiting, if you see them and id them.

laughed at?
yeah , shure i was, most people here have been at some stage..even as an adult the laughing stops but the passive bullying doesnt, it has been and will continue to be a feature of my As life.

obsessive thoughts, perseverating...yeah i do it, i have done it and i will do it tomorrow.
it is a part of me and i accept it.....it annoys me too but i accept it.


i guess the point i wanted you to see for yourself is.....it isnt what happens to me that i can control......it is how i respond to it that i can control.

when you differentiate between the two you can adapt to how you chose to respond to all you have described.

when you do this for a while, without realising you have adapted to what helps you to get by.

hope it helps.
it will take time thou...took me 4 years.
im still learning.

even if he didnt discover asperger's syndrome iot still would be out there and you would still have the symptoms

How could a dead man have done any of that to you, Mosse?

^^ Right. To the OP: do you really think you'd be more happy if you didn't know what condition you had? Well, ignorance is bliss I guess. *shrugs*

AS sucks but we all gotta make the best of this

I assign all of you this task: Actually research Hans Asperger and write a short essay telling us exactly what he did.

people are not naturally social, etc.




erm, you like it. If you didn't embrace it, you wouldn't obsess over it. And it's a few, not one; depending on the person



only had one therapist-who diagnosed me with this at 16 last year so



hmmm.... dealt with the as*holes in flamewars. One of them thought I was insane



well I did fine until last year when I got the diagnosis due to family issues. Not a problem.

I think the symptoms are part of a problem too. While AS itself cannot be cured, it's most prominent symptoms can. I once thought I had poor social skills but thanks to the social therapy group I've been attending lately, I've come to realize that I have more skills than I thought. I think this is probably true for most aspies as well. Even though I've realized I know more than I thought, I'm still going to learn what I don't know and to find out what I don't realize I know. Donkey is right though, it's all in how you deal with it.

But some symptoms bring advantages too. In my case, my obsessive tendencies and obsession for perfection actually make me do almost anything I do perfectly, except for social situations. There are times when I fail at other things too. However, unlike most aspies, I have no specialties at all. My case is more like I can do the basics of anything, but nothing beyond that. But the things that I can do, I do very well.

Curse Hans! That bastard Nazi geneticist who created this foul ailment!

Hans Asperger didn't create the disorder. You would have been just as autistic if he hadn't been born.

There is no direct correlation between Asperger's and social anxiety, allthough many aspies will eventually develop it.



What precisely is it that makes this a bad thing?



A therapist have helped me with my worst problem.



If people laugh at me, I beat them up.

I like being who i am. a selfish bastard who really dont care about to many people. And that is almost true except im not too selfish.
But if we had shot asperger you would just be an asocial person nothing else. And i thing that is even worse.
Dont see this as a curse. your different believe it. dont try to be something your not. Thats not going to help you anyway.
Be what you where born to be.

Yourself!!
