Aspergers and getting followed by the FBI?

Post Reply New Topic

What websites were you looking up, and did you talk to anybody about your interest? Also, what was your cousin investigated for? You should get a lawyer to check if you rare on any watch list.

the feds will not tell anyone if you're on a watch list.

its a crank phone call.

No, it wasn't. Joking is a normal part of NT conversation.

And... the 'organization' that called clearly obtained personal information from yahoo under their request and visited my cousin at his door in person, which would have been one helluva dedicated and freaky prank caller.

I think it was a crank call, but in fact, Aspies are often the focus of investigations since we fit some profiles for things like bombings and mass murder, etc. I hate that people in the profession of law enforcement can't tell the difference, but they can't.

As far as airline security, it's the joke of the century, and it will not stop any terrorists. It's all done just to create new jobs, and to get brownie points for politicians. My wife has accidentally carried loaded handguns onto two commercial flights, without getting caught. And that was ACCIDENTAL!! !! Imagine how easy it would be to do on purpose.

That's a pretty crazy story. Personally I don't thing having AS would make someone more likely to be followed, but perhaps with a higher level of intelligence we are more likely to stumble across something. Or obsessively research until we get in trouble.

I didn't receive any phone calls, and no one came to my house...but in October my husband and I (and our little son) saw something that we could only describe as a UFO, as we have no idea what it could have been. In doing my research, I found an off duty pilot who saw the same thing, in my area, and reported it as well as a UFO. The next day I was followed by a strange car with no markings, black windows and extra antennae on it. It followed me at less than a cars length away for half an hour, I didn't know what to do so I just kept driving. I have no idea whether it was my internet searching about what I saw that attracted attention, or what. But it was scary!

See it as a good thing.
If they check on everybody who tries to find out how to make a bomb on the internet, they might actually find the people that do this kind of stuff. They didn't accuse you of anything, so there's not really a problem, right? Safety goes over privacy for me, although I might have asked them for some kind of proof that they are who they say they are, you never know if it's a prank call.

I bet 99.9etc percent of us apply our curiosity to positive stuff. I'm a curious aspie, I can't help it.
I don't care I someone's watching or flagging me . I'm doing nothing illegal. It's like driving on the road and going through speed cameras at the right speed. I apply my curiosity to accademic stuff about us, and to me this is one of the bigger challenges out there.

I'm sure there's some big building where guys have the job of sitting and reading what some of us write. If they are reading this I'd like to take the opportunity to say, hi, have a good day .

I am scared that the FBI is after me. I don't like it when cars follow me. I don't like it when the government helicopters fly over our house. I influence things with my mind and dreams and the gov would be after that. Yes I have schizoaffective disorder though. I am also interested in government technology.

Do you care to elaborate? I used to feel this way as well, at different points in my life.

I have psychic dreams. My dreams tell me things well before they actually happen in real life. 9/11, the 2004 tsunami, certain bombings around the world and even earthquakes. I can tell before they take place and have about a 80% accuracy rate. When I just come up with something that didn't come from a dream or vision, then those ones usually don't happen. I also have the government talking to me in my head and they tell me about various technologies before the news covers them. One of them was about a bird that is actually a spy drone. Recently on the news they covered that they are working on this exact technology. In real life they have them already. I believe the government is 200 years ahead in technology and its all top secret. So, in the end when the event actually takes place and I predicted it, then I believe its my fault. At least partially my fault for not warning people and because the event actually took place. I can't just predict something out of the blue however. What is your experiences like? Do you also believe the FBI is after you for your powers?

The FBI doesn't normally call an individual to personally investigate them, they either send official documentation or visit in person. It is a felony to impersonate an FBI agent over the phone. You should report it to the FBI. They can at least check their call records to verify to you whether or not someone from the FBI called you.

From what you have stated it sounds like someone you may be aquainted with heard the story about your cousin, and decided to play a prank on you. I'm not questioning the validity of what happened to your cousin, but you can solve the question of whether or not it was really someone from the FBI, by calling them. You have nothing to lose by calling them, if they really did call you they have no reason not to give you confirmation.

The fact that they talked about putting you on a watch list and joked about terrorism with you, does not sound like something the FBI would do in an official investigation by phone or in person. This is reason enough to call the FBI to see if it was real or not.

Sounds like something one of your schoolmates who has a deep voice might do; but if they did they are pretty stupid to do it, because it's a felony to impersonate the FBI.

If you call the FBI and they state this "phone investigation" was real. I will be very surprised. My opinion at this point is there is little chance it is real from the information you have presented here so far.

If the FBI contacts you, whether in person, by phone, by mail, or by carrier pigeon, I recommend that you do not answer any questions. Ditto cops, etc. There is no legal requirement to talk, and at best all you will do is not say something that gets you in trouble, and worst you'll say something that makes it worse than if you stayed quiet. That's what lawyers are for: talking to those guys for you.

Not just people with AS.

A lot of people doing research into "suspicious subjects" can get flagged, even if it's their job to research such topics.

I have had similar experiences, although not quite so significant. Mostly things like dreaming of deaths or disasters that were more on a personal scale rather than global. But I of course always felt that then it is my fault, that somehow because I dreamed it happening, that I MADE it happen. I typically know things before I've been told, such as names or birthdays... but I couldn't predict something out of the blue. I don't believe that the government is following me specifically, but I do believe that others harness actual stellar abilities in this area and there's a chance that they could be wanted. I don't know what our governments are capable of, but I do believe as well that our species is, in fact, much more advanced than we know. I'm not comfortable posting my specific beliefs, but I'm sure you've heard of some of them.
