What do you think of when you hear the word disorder

when your snack gets caught on the very end of the dispencer and wont fall down to the retreival tray. lol

Same. IQ is not specific enough and generally means nothing. You're brilliant in one aspect and dumber than s**t in another.

Your right. I can't speak for everyone but everyone seems to be speaking for themselves just fine which is more than the ret*d can do. You didn't understand the differences but you understood they existed. And you didn't begin understand your condition till you read about it. None of which the ret*d generally do.... I assume (that's all I can do because I am not)

Social anxiety does not make you ret*d. Thinking differently does not make you ret*d. Having nothing in commen with others does not make you ret*d. It's a shame that it can effect the lives of aspies so much but it's certainly not a good reason to think less of yourself. And I've got a Big Ol' f**k You to the ass backwardness of modern society. If modern society made any sense you wouldn't even be in the position to consider this on yourself.

ret*d in it's most general unoffensive definition possible, sure, but everyone else is just as ret*d because they can't relate to us either. Same difference.

And I hate the fact that I keep on using the word ret*d. I hate the word just as much as fag.

Agreed and said perfectly.
It seems in modern society acting like an irrational baboon all the time and succumbing to the trends and social demands like a driveling clone is the cool thing to do.

What about any of the genetic disorders that a person can be born with? Just because you're born with something doesn't mean it's not a disorder.

When I think disorder, I think it means that someone has some kind of impairment of functioning.

disorder means chaos and i am chaos, but I much prefer the word chaos.

I think of all the other people walking around with little clocks in their heads that work perfectly fine, and for all my life, I always thought mine was ticking in time. But it's not. And that makes me sad.

Don't be sad. It's good to be different. Those who are different are my favorites.

Disorder in the context of Personality Disorder is an NT term for tendencies or personality type. It suggests that something is not functioning correctly, which I find insulting sometimes. (on the other hand, sometimes I'm not functioning correctly!) NT persons seem to have a fear of the unusual or non-average and a tendency to fall victim to Groupthink. Probably a safety or coping mechanism. Maybe genetically programmed. If something doesn't fit the mold or is outside the box, then it is a Disorder or Defect! I suspect that Asperger people are probably a pre cursor to the new people of the future; this evolution being necessitated by the acceleration of technology and the objective scientific thinking that goes with it!

i think of joydivision

Light grayish-brown, white and deep red.

The chaos in my room when I've been working hard on a translation I have to hand in next morning.

A disturbed (another "grayish-brown" word) person with an absent look who is hallucinating and talking to him- or herself.

I think of a messy room, heh.

When I hear the term "disability," I think "ret*d."
