People saying "You haven't got aspergers"

Post Reply New Topic

That is why I don't go there much anymore and rarely do now. Trolls are funny and full of entertainment but it gets old because people just refuse to ignore them and it's tiring seeing a troll question on every page. I think it's also a great place for people to troll because it's a trolling playground.

The user asked if assistant suicide should be legal and if people should help the person commit suicide and I said no to it and so did other aspies and the person just got pissed and said none of us have Asperger's and blocked me. I am thinking he wanted people to agree with him. I don't think he was a troll. I am never fond of people who ask a question and then only want a certain answer. It amazes me even aspies would do it too. I just better not see them whine about NTs doing that crap when they do it themselves or whine about aspies doing "NT behavior" because I think it's so NT to ask a question and only want a certain answer.

My friend still doesn't believe it. He said that poor social skills doesn't mean there's something wrong with me and blah blah. I was worried my boyfriend wouldn't believe me but he did. I don't tell anyone else because I'm afraid of their reaction.

Ive had the other response, you must have aspergers as people with 'autism' arent as functional. This from a self proclaimed autism specialist.

My family have trouble believing the autism diagnosis but thats their problem. I have only told a few people, noone socially.

I'd just like to point out that many psychologists also believe that if you have any friends, you can't have AS. Some also believe that AS is only something children can have.

Not saying your psychologist doesn't know anything about it, but, this argument alone might just piss people off!

The easy response to this is "You have a psychologist? That PROVES there's something wrong with you."

One of the first psychs I saw said that within the first 15 minutes (then proceeded to ignore the adhd diagnosis rules too).

I've had a LOT of people refuse to believe I am AS, one woman I know actually started yelling at me because her 'second removed nephew' has AS and he was nothing like me.

As soon as I mentioned it to my therapist, and family, who know me much better, they all thought it made perfect sense.
