What's my minds purpose?
So, out of my family I am the only one with AS, I am also the only one thinks different too: Where they are too quick to judge, I look past the surface from a psycological point of view and with Empathy; Where they are Ignorant, I constantly analyze my thoughts and do not speak until I have a decent process down. Examples: With the last Harry Potter movie, what happened to Snape, everyone else was surprised, I was always rooting for him, from the beginning, I was not surprised at all because I looked past all of it, and I Empathized with Snape too; Sitting around the fire, my brother saying everone is stupid and whatnot, the typical thing that my family does, and then I say (while looking him in the eye, trying to give him a hint) "Everyone thinks the same and they eat each other for it.", my sister said it was deep (I just pull that kind of stuff from thin air all the time); Watching movies my family yells at the characters for doing something they wouldn't do (already idiotic), or because something doesn't make sense, they always have to have an opinion, it's like they never f*****g shut up!! Anyways, I save my comments and opinions and focus on empathizing and doing my process and what I immediately figure out on the spot, my family comes back days later going "Oh, that's why" (I'm thinking, if you would've shut up then maybe you could've figured it out sooner) it happens with real people too so just in case you were thinking that I only live in a virtual world then there you go.
I know that that all sounds ignorant to you but look past it, I deal with this crap everyday, it really gets on my nerves why they never grow up, or why they never shut up! Besides my insight skills and patience, my mind trumps there's any day but I still respect them because I couldn't do half the stuff they do everyday but that's because I am AS and I might be the first one to finish my education out of the whole family. They always forget all the stuff that is wrong with me, even that I'm AS, it offends me because I keep an archived list of every individual of my family and I don't forget any of it, same with my house, I know where everything in my house is, everything. I guess NT's minds don't work like that.
The question that has come into my mind is: Why am I the only AS in my family (even my cousins) and why does my mind think totally different than them too? My life's goal is to live alone in a modern house with Video Games and TV's, the usual, and with no human contact, they see it very weird but I don't care, I am straight but I don't care for girls or their bodies, they of course can't fathom that so they reduce to calling me gay, dumbasses. I would like to teach them how to hold their tongue and why it would benefit them but anything I suggest they swat away, everything I say is usless to them but everything I suggest and say is what they come to in the end, what the hell? Now I could care less, I have just became more angry and depressed, putting into the initiative to try and get across my hint to leave me the f**k alone, all day. They know that I don't want human contact yet they continue to bother me all the time so then my method is: Actions speak louder than words.

When it comes to idiots, I like to observe their behavior and not comment. It can get frustrating, but the satisfaction of my predictions coming true is worth it. It's like an abstract game
I once observed bullies from my school throwing stones at cars, and realised that eventually something interesting would happen, and I watched a car stop and someone chase them away - one of them left their bike on curb and the driver took it and drove off - and the satisfaction of watching that happen outweighed the satisfaction I would've got from successfully explaining to them what could happen.

Hahaha! That is awesome! Yeah I love it when my predictions follow through, I also enjoy observing human behavior just because it is so predictable. I would have laughed my ass off to see that lol

That sounds just like me. I've dealt with the same crap. My family makes comments like that during movies too. It's just a movie you idiots, don't get so angry! Is this actually undercover footage of your ancestors or something? They always treat me like crap too, and if I try explaining something to them, everyone laughs in unison like the sycophants that they are. I'm called gay because I'd rather live along without human or female contact, but that's OK. They don't know anything. I'm always told how I should live my life, why I should do things the way they do, etc. Of course, there is less of that now that I'm older, and also because I've come up with better ways of ignoring them. Sometimes I would predict the end of a movie and everyone would get mad because I'm spoiling the ending...hey, I haven't watched this movie yet either. It's not my fault the script is poorly written! I figured out my sister's boyfriend was a sociopath the second time I met him. It took her 3 years to figure it out and she is still in denial about the whole thing to this day. She still talks to him of course because she hates herself.
Haha well I never had the intention to change anyone, I was only trying to nudge them in (what I think) is a more productive way of thinking. Are people born into the way they think or influenced? With me it was either a choice or I was born with it... probably born with it, I've been the same throughout my life, no "rage phase" or "bitchy phase" nothing like that, just as I was then I am now. I'm no good at teaching either, I learn by myself, like with computers, everything I know about computers I have taught myself, my family now recognizes me as a computer wiz.

Yup, me too. I really don't see how it's possible not to be a computer wiz. Everything just makes sense. But nobody else in my family knows how to do anything. Like I said, it's impossible to fix stupidity. Einstein is right. It truly is infinite.

I wish they would open their eyes. My brother plays Assassin's Creed, he wants to walk and talk the way that Ezio does, he focuses so much on himself that he hasn't realized that I already walk like Ezio. I have introduced TV shows, Music, Technology into my family, I am the only one found that stuff and now they all try to take the credit for everything I do. I have issues with people taking credit for what I have worked for, it pisses me off. I am now observing my family, my cousins, my nephews for any awesome talents, I study the way they move, think, analyze, I don't know why I am searching for that but whatever, I'm more of the type to just go with the stream and see where it takes me you know?
It may interest you that I am writing a book and I'm trying to make it as unpredictable as possible and at the same time, not overwhelming... or overwhelming, whatever works better.

as for the minds purpose; if you want to hear one, how about the caregiver, the sentry, the 'sage' if you will.
there is probarbly a reason that the shamans, druids and medicine men of the old tribal society showed traits of AS

It'd make perfect sense to me! lol. I made this other topic talking about my stomach problems, the majority of people that replied, said they had stomach problems too and are also AS. I'm thinking that constant stomach problems have something to do with Aspergians and possibly their way of thinking. At the beginning of my stomach pains, I learned much about pain and perseverence and where my mind goes at those uncertain times "Pain is the greatest teacher.". Actually one of my brothers have more severe stomach problems than me but he still thinks NT, hmm, curious.
What's the Caregiver, the Sentry, and the Sage? I tried searching all those but nothing relevent came up.

You are a thoughtful and intelligent individual.
Your view of Snape was spot on. I was also not surprised. Because Severus was a beautiful, complex, human character. He felt regret, and love, and shame, and was not just a token 'bad guy'. He was smart and calculating, and always did what had to be done. You understood him, instead of judging him. You understand things.
A big problem with a lot of people's world views is that they believe that their judgement of something is actually an understanding of it.
They are wrong. It's a common misconception. You are very insightful. Now you just have to understand and sadly accept that the rest of the world is less so.

three different "jobs" within a society, i might have worded it wrong.
the caregiver meaning the loving father/husband (or mother/wife for females, obviously).
the sentry being what is says on the tin; scouting for trouble up ahead or around the group, although it's kinda obsolete in modern society.
sage being the wise person, kind of like panoramix in the asterix&obelix comics
Some people can be unempathetic or outright rude, don't let it get to you or get you down. You never know what these people may be going through themselves, and such behaviors are often the result of difficult situations or an inferiority complex. If someone is unsure about there own choices, they may put others down to justify themselves.
Trying to reason or argue with such people is a waste of your effort, rather focus on finding people who understand you. Ignore and avoid the detractors.
Regarding the emergence of your own aspergers. People have only been aware of the autism spectrum in recent times, it is completely possible that someone in your family history had/has it, but was undiagnosed because nobody knew what to call it at the time. You could try looking back through your family tree for autism-like traits, if you're interested of course.

I want to repair computers, which one is that?

Thank You! That is a huge compliment

Spot on! That is also what I realized as well. Strange that you understand me but you are an NT...
