I haven't talked to you before but you really seem to be very prejudiced about everyone. and yes, you are very impatient, you can't talk to people politely.

oh. another anti intellectual *insert icon with rolling eyeballs here*

That claim is correct. I read, for the first time, an IQ thread. Only did it, however, to see if there was something there that had pissed you off. I didn't spot anything in particular. You seem ok to me. Stick around.

If I thought it would help, I'd offer a cyber [[hug]], but you don't really come across as the warm and fuzzy type. But hey, you can't judge a book by its cover, right? It sounds like you get really angry, really easily. I just read your introduction posts, and you say so yourself.

I wonder if you've considered seeing someone who can prescribe something for that. Okay, you'll probably get angry at me for suggesting that. Believe me, I don't mean it as an insult. My son, who is just 11, was having an awful time with his anger. He would get soooo angry at the tiniest things, like if his toast was a little too dark, he'd go into a violent rage. It was a terrible burden for him, let alone the rest of us. His doctor prescribed a mood stabilizer, and we hated the idea of putting him on a medication, but it was clear that he was suffering, so we said okay. He's doing great now. He's still got AS, of course, and life isn't all a bed of roses all the time, but he's himself again, without that constant anger weighing him down.

Just a thought. I think you'll get a lot out of this site, but you can't expect instant replies. And I don't know about IQ's. I haven't noticed people bragging about them, and have no clue what my own is. My son's IQ is pretty high, but he's still flunking out of the 5th grade because the world is made for NTs and his teacher is a cow. But that's another post.

...on second thought....I notice you've mentioned drinking. Is there a connection between when you feel really angry /impatient and drinking? I mean, do you get that way when you have been drinking? I knew a guy like that. Friendly, pleasant guy, but as soon as he'd had a drink, he would blow up at everyone and get in awful fights. He finally figured out that he couldn't drink any more. Again, that's not meant as an insult. I'm just brainstorming and looking for ideas, because it really does sound like you are burdened by your anger.

well either leave, or get used to it- we WP members are like a bunch of machos bragging about the sizes of their penises and the number of women they've had when it comes to our IQs

You're right, I allways had a problem controlling my anger, but the feeling of being lost often have that effect on people.
Being laught at for so many years, have built up in me, feelings to a point where rage and anger seems to be the only solution. Therefore I might seem rude and impolite. But I'm not like that at all, when I'm relaxed and without stress, I can be both charming and polite, but this is the time of the year.

I'm sorry if anybody or anything upset you, but don't leave. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. A lot of people use this site to get through hard times. I haven't had any trouble with anyone, but I suppose it might be to do with the fact that some of the other forums I used to frequent were full of unpleasent individuals. I think this is one of the more pleasant communities out there.

From what I've seen, a lot of people don't feel like they quite fit in with what it means to have aspergers and autism here, and I'm sure a lot of people leave as a result. But ASD is such a huge spectrum, and 'they' have only began to really look into the different causes and resulting variations of the spectrum as far as I am aware- I'm sure ASD will one day be looked upon as an expression of similar but differing causes- like dyspraxia and dyslexia today.

But saying that, it's hit and miss. You might find some people you can relate to well on here and others that you find you have nothing in common with. It's unlikely that you will find your soul mate on here, but I don't think you need to find somebody exactly like you to be able to relate to most people on here. You're always gonna have disagreements and some people will annoy but that's life. Just ignore them if they are a completely hopeless case. xD

A lot of people brag about their high IQ because that's all they have. Often the public I've found are sympathetic towards the 'absent minded proffesser' stereotype or intellectual recluse, but not so much 'the dork'. I have a decent IQ but nothing special. About 120 on average. I like the fact that it's not below average but that's about it. xD I'm likely not gonna have the chance to use it if I regress any further like I have the last two years...
