"What qualifies you to make that assumption"

I told my mother this about my child "because if anyone would know if he has this, its you, right?" she hasnt spoken of it since.

I'd vote for telling those people that their opinion doesn't matter. (Just like everything else in the universe, but they don't need to know that. Let them think that it is them specifically who are insignificant.)

I generally reply that it's associated with bedwetting and walking on your toes, two (more or less) highly embarassing things I did for most of my childhood.* Most non-retarded people then realize, you don't brag about pissing the bed.


*I still walk on my toes. As for bedwetting, I did get incredibly drunk for the first time a few years ago, and subsequently pissed all over somebody else's carpet in my sleep. But ah, that's neither here nor there.

I had what I thought was my best, childhood friend say on more than one occasion that I can't be trusted as a human being for taking meds, that I am comparable to what he considered the worst of my generation, and consistantly made fun of/commented on the many of my Aspie traits as being tremendously negative with the intent to make me feel like s**t. To be honest, he's a horrible person, and would love to see the day that his dream of becoming an animator fail completely (a goal he took directly from me, since he has no real personality of his own). Jesus, just thinking about how the people I've trusted and depended on basically tell me to suck it up and stop being such a p****, and that I'm horrible and worthless, makes me feel ill. My dad, my old best friend - I f*****g hate them. Real pieces of trash.

The sad thing is, they're both extreme cases of having severe dysfunction that impacts their quality of life. I may not be able to treat Asperger's, but they certainly could work on their ignorance and hatred of themselves. f*****g useless.

well you could always tell them that they are merely a frigment of the imagination of a formless intelligence drifting in deep space

Deep inside , I agree with them.

I have great doubts of the validity of its existence.

People who meet me know right off there's something up with me. No one ever accuses me of having a fake disorder because they can tell I'm not exactly like them. I've never had anyone say to me "AS isn't real" and probably never well though, theoretically, it could happen. In my case most likely it won't. I don't have to tell people something's different about me. They can see it first.
