It's not a mental illness.

Seriously, for some reason I suspect this guy to be a troll. Maybe I'm just being paranoid again.

Yeah he was posting weird stuff in one of the other threads.
And he doesn't like metal or industrial.


i dont like metal or industrial and if i were a troll i wouldnt spend so much time on this website


Yes, a troll actually would... for "research" purposes for various websites like SA or ED.

Either you've another form of Autism or you're a troll. That's what I believe.

(And yes, I don't like most Metal or Industrial music myself... I like all the weird Electronic stuff. ;) )


what form of autism do you think i have


HFA I'm guessing. Many people get AS and HFA mixed up.

I opened this thread thinking I would undoubtably cure it, but seeing that Calvin and Hobbes cartoon made me hesitant. Damn, I'm really naive.

People with HFA tend to not have the "gifts" as people with AS, in other words, they are usually of NT intelligence or under (IQ of 90 or under).
And you seem to fit more in the HFA category then the AS category.

Then there's OCD, that's usually easily mistaken as AS too.

If the cure consisted of enhancing my deficits, and allowing me to keep my gifts, then yes. But not if it meant simply changing into an NT.

I can see by all these NO's that we love our afflictions. Cause what else would we have to complain about.

I don’t mind being mad, moronic and mute; no one expects anything from you when you’re down here, there's nothing to live up to and there's nothing to lose. When I look up it doesn’t really look much different anyway from down here.

That is not any definition of "HFA" I've ever heard before, and I've heard a lot. I have heard (among people who differentiate, which I don't) that autistic people (not limited to those usually called "HFA") and AS people have different patterns of strengths, but that includes both autistic people having ones AS people don't and vice versa. (Again, just reporting this, not that I agree with the division the way it currently stands.)
