This site has some of the most unintentionally funny posts on the internet. Love it.
On behalf of BritAspie it is my great pleasure to inform you that you should delete your potentially catastrophic posts and leave the discussion to people with their sense of humor in the right place now. This is not unintentionally funny, it's both brave and markedly necessary. If this is the way you behave in reality, have fun in jail.

Hi Ive got Aspergers syndrome (and I suspect Ive also got Anti-social personality disorder but thats irrelevant) I've got no history of seizures and epilepsy what so ever but there's a man who is severely Mentally challenged he drools and does other disgusting things like going through the nappy(or diaper for US members) bins at a mall I go to regularly and a couple of weeks ago he hugged me (I HATE being touched) all I can remember after was going stiff as a board then blacking out, when I came through my friends said that I was twitching and making hissing sounds. Im prone to sensations I hate bright lights, cheesy/egg smells, color pink, thorns, crosses, etc. Has anyone with AS or another ASD with no epilepsy had this before?
I see three possibilities.
One: Many aspergians freeze up out of disgust at the simplest of things (think moldy sponges and the like)
Two: Late onset Epilepsy has a variety of potential triggers, from my limited medical knowledge. Some comorbid with ASDs, others not.
Three: This incident could have been caused by noxious fumes, in which case you've got very little to worry about other than finding a way to forget this and move on. However this still means you should get yourself checked out for respiratory compromise or infection AND Epilepsy. I am truly sorry for what sounds like a terrible experience I hope no person must ever repeat.
Did you call the police?

You seem like a lot of insecure giant child, but some of us know not to feed trolls. Have fun stepping around an IP ban.

I'm not taking myself seriously, I'm taking BritAspie seriously. Doubtless you've been laughed at enough to see the error of your ways and drop this one, because as I privately told you I'm absolutely not going to. If I dignify your next post with a response, it won't be to you. I'll give you the same concession and allot for the possibility that you really do think that humor in the face of anything is apropos, but we both know that's not the truth.

If I'm laughing and you're not, I win. Stop picking fights, keyboard warrior. You have no affect on me...go cry to someone who cares. Pathetic.
What's pathetic is the plain fact you seem to have misread the OP. Congratulations! If anyone in the history of the human race deserves a seizure, it's probably you. YOU FOUND A WAY. Didn't your mom ever teach YOU to take a breath instead of making damaging, useless contributions like the first reply?

I did not know that many Aspies freeze up over something that they might find disgusting. I have done that before, not total physical freeze up necessarily but definitely a mental one. I am glad that BritAspie asked this question because if this is a possibility of why I reacted and sometimes still react the way that I do, it would make a lot of sense. Most other people don't react as strongly as I do when they see something dirty or disgusting.
One of my disc golf discs landed in dog poop once and I freaked out. I washed and disinfected it like 20 times with double gloves on. I have heard one NT say that his dog had pooped in his bike helmet which he had left on the floor and he just washed it and then used it again. I would have been absolutely mortified and would have had to throw it away. I even thought of throwing away and replacing my disc but my husband convinced me that the world would not end if I washed and disinfected it. I have actually come a long way with those reactions though. When I was younger, I would not have been able to handle what I can now which is not very much compared to other people! I would not have been able to to deal with dog poop in my helmet at all.
I think I might have internally freaked out if that man had hugged me too. I love hugs so the hug part would not have bothered me but the fact that he was so dirty would have. I am ashamed of that though because I don't want to be that kind of person. I would love to be able to accept anyone even if I find them very dirty or disgusting. I am sure that he is not that way because he enjoys it.

Thanks for actually being able to relate, rather than just postulating or being an impossible dbag with no concept of personal sovereignty. I emailed Alex about the murbark's laughs at BritAspie's great expense so I hope this will get resolved in short order.
BritAspie: A majority of us will NEVER laugh at you this way, I can't imagine what happened in murbark's life to make him so lecherous, because I believe that's a task for you. Be funny about it now.

Murbark. I do not want to start an argument with you at all so please understand this and please do not respond to my post to you in a confrontational way. But just out of curiosity, and I do not intend anything mean at all or anything negative by this question, I am wondering if you are an NT or if you are also on the Spectrum.
I can understand that you may have gotten a funny visual from the OP's post and I do not think you meant any harm by your first post. I am just asking that you be able to try to look at a different perspective about this. It is very possible that this situation could be very embarrassing for the OP and that your thinking it was funny may make it even more difficult for him. (I say him but I don't know if BritAspie is a lady or a gentleman so please forgive me if I am wrong). Even this ongoing argument with the other poster may be stressful to him. I know that it is a bit stressful to me and I am not even the OP. I would hate to have BritAspie have undue anxiety because of this argument especially since I imagine it was difficult and took courage for him to ask the question initially. Please try to be sensitive to that. Even if you may find humor in the visual, please try to understand that this might stress BritAspie more and detract from people being able to answer his question.

My vitriol is reserved for those deserving. I agree completely and move to start a thread in which we find BritAspie some expert help!
