What's up? Aspie here.

Post Reply New Topic

But how do you all make it through life? I just get depressed whenever I think of becoming successful at all.

I really don't have a one answer fits
all response to solving it. I just let
people who like me find me. If
someone is a as*hole, then it's their
problem, not mine.

True, I feel hurt and trampled upon,
but the best I can do is let my coping
skills developed guide me from that
point.

Sorry, I have no genuine answer.

Love it!! ! That's why I just hang out with people who accept my quirks and have some of their own. A lot of people used to think I was always stoned because of the way I acted, insulting? Not really sure. I don't know your age, but I used to be extremely annoying. That bugged some people. My behavior is controlled by many different factors, so really, depending on my environment, situation, etc, I could be acting totally different ways. Before I start rambling I should consider answering your question. No, I don't get mocked for the way I act. Used to, but people say I've "mellowed" a lot these past few years. That could have been the ADHD/ADD (they're technically the same) in me changing, not AS. I really don't care. But, elementary school was different. I beat up people who made fun of me. But it was normally my chubby-ness and not the way I act. Blah. Blah. Blah. If you're a really annoying person, try not being annoying. If you're in middle school, I feel really sorry for you. Nothing IMHO is worse than middle school. Everyone's angsty and perverted hormone driven idiots (well, most everyone).

Not trying to be rude, hope I help.

I'm the same. Whatever I want to do, there is always something wrong with me to hold me back.

Many people think I'm gay and stupid.

About the stupid thing:
I think it's because I make people repeat what they've just said a lot. My hearing is allright, but I'm confused when people talk to me and my mind goes blank, so I don't understand anything. I prefer when people write to me. Much better!
Even my parents tell me I'm stupid at times, I guess it's out of frustration.


about the gay thing:
It's clear that I am a tomboy. I admit it.
Once teenagers called me something that meant "MALE homosexual" (Poofter?)

I don't know. Sometimes I cry. Iguess I do that when I am physically and mentally tired. But today I'm feeling terribly good, even though my family has got to deal with big problem, and even though I've just taken exams that I think I've failed.
About the problems mentionned above: I let people talk and snigger. I'll have my revenge when I conquer the world!

No one thinks I am ret*d, I don't think, since I do well in school and people can see my dedication to work. I do get treated like a little kid sometimes, though, especially by people I do not know. My height probably has something to do with this. Last summer I was offered a children's menu twice, and my own doctor wanted me to go to the "prize box" after our appointment.

In high school one popular girl and her group of friends decided I must be a lesbian because I was staring off into space in her direction, and that *clearly* must mean I was checking her out . That was not a fun year at all. Their insults were not just verbal, they threw paper at me, and sniggered behind my back, and when I stood up for myself, the girl threatened me with physical violence (which I avoided because I know she could have taken me in a second).

I don't get that anymore, thankfully. Now, most people either ignore me, or treat me like I am younger than I really am (which is actually sometimes easier for me, anyway).

Sometimes, when I'm feeling particularly terrible about myself, I just stay in. I obviously have to go to class or work, but other than that, I don't leave my room. Things usually just go away on their own if I chill out for awhile.

I make it through life via my few friends and my sense of humour. I have also realised that I will be a huge success and that the people I hate will really suffer whenever I come to fight them.

I hate it when a poll doesn't have an answer that applies to me.

When I was young it used to really bother me that kids called me queer, etc. Then eventually I realized I *am* and it didn't bother me any more. I still don't look like it, though, and most people don't know unless it happens to come up in conversation or something....

People called me gay and ret*d and they shut up pretty quickly when I started throwing (hard!) 275 pound heavyweight wrestlers in wrestling pratice. There are pratical benefits to being bigger and stronger than everyone else. Of course, not everyone is blessed in the same ways, but if one is tall, it is probably a good idea to start lifting weights.

I did get called ret*d a few times when I was in school. That throughly annoyed me.

That's me too. I read that it's a trait of aspies.
My older brother hates when I do that. He doesn't understand my having AS, no matter how many times his wife has tried to explain to him.

I got called gay at school because I was very introverted and not one of the cool bootlicker posse.

I'm sure that a number of women I work with find me intriguing because I never reveal anything about myself and I guess they like mysteries, but I don't generally have any interest in them apart from that required on a purely professional basis.

I get on ok wih the guys too although my behaviour is different enough for me to stand apart in the average 'I got drunk and caught the clap' ego flexing.

College was a nightmare, I'd just started anti-convulsants and spent half of each days studying half asleep and got called a ret*d as a result of that and the epilepsy.

That sounds very familiar. It really annoys customers at work so I have to write everything down as they talk and even then I get a bit confused. In one ear and out the other.

People call me gay sometimes despite the fact that I briefly had a girlfriend, I listen to extreme metal, asked loads of girls out and generally do not act gay. As well as that, I am called gay by the gays in my school. It is hilarious the way they try to take the piss out of me, yet I just rip it out of all who insult me.

Gay people are awesoem. I do not have a problem with them, but I am straight.
