People think I am insane because not of my autism but rather my schizoaffective disorder. I know people and see people who are far worse off than me sanity wise. I always see schizophrenics on the street talking or yelling at voices in their heads. I once went to a mental hospital and I was believe it or not one of the sanest people there. My brother really thinks I am nuts. I think he is though. Also annoying but I still love him.

I'm only crazy when I try to act sane

Yes I have and I don't totally disagree....though I still think I have some sanity left but I could be wrong.

Was about to say the exact same thing...

Everyone except my grandmother (who thinks anything besides being completely normal will destroy anyone's self esteem) thinks I'm crazy, especially me because I know myself the best.

My therapist doesn't like when I call myself crazy but that's why I'm there. lol. I find fellow oddballs the most interesting people anyway though.

I'm often called crazy, people generally say I'll probably be a mad scientist when I grow up. It's my dream job.

Crazy people are those that fail to comply with various social norms, including behavioral, thinking and linguistic norms.

That's a rather arbitrary and loaded definition.

I am to a degree, but haven't been very often called as one (a friend and my parents have the most).

I think there's a saying that if you think you're crazy, then you are not. Truly crazy people don't know that they're crazy. So I'm gonna have to answer yes, I think I'm crazy haha

Although if by thinking your crazy means your not, does that mean all those 'normal' people who consider themselves sane are actually all crazy. Maybe autism is the human brain evolving into something better and the rest of the population just hasn't caught up yet. Or maybe I'm thinking about this too much...

Well in movies where contact is made with superior aliens, theyre always emotionless and logical, so I think people must agree with this even if it's on a subconscious level.

To middle school a classmate called me crazy. Teachers said i was a spoiled kid.
To high school classmates though i had allucinations, memory disorders or homicidal tendencies.

I am good looking, and when I open my mouth, I chase people away like Frankenstein. I often say my best chance of getting a relationship with a woman is if I play a "deaf/mute". Then, I can't say anything that will permanently drive a woman away.
