Geeknes, nerdnes and asperger syndrome?

Post Reply New Topic

i wonder how many so called nerd and geeks or as we call in Poland Kojon (kujony in in plural form ) or botans as i learned from my Russian aspie friend who is also member of this forum are russian word for Nerds

So i wonder how many people which can be considered nerds (with their own special interest in science and so on) are also aspies but their not get their own certificate of weirdness from psychologist or psychiatrist

I'm like to watch vlogs dedicated to astronomy, astrophysics and also astronautics, oh and computer science too.

for example now i'm subscribing on YouTube vlog of one kid, he make interesting videos about IT and home improvement, carpentry, do-you self and so on, for me he looks like he was from our apsergerian brotherhood [like the assassin brotherhood]


And Ator[Real name Krzysztof Woźniak] on of most subscribed vloger in Poland, he once created let's play videos but switched to political commentaries and conspiracies theories, BTW he is right-winger, some jokes that he's a Polish Alex Jones
here you have one of his videos

I wonder does he is an aspie?

My point here is that not everyone with Asperger's Syndrome, have negative symptoms of Asperger's, but have the same positive signs as increased IQ and so on

Obviously there is a lot of overlap between the geek/nerd/dork population (on one hand), and the aspie population (on the other). But that doesnt mean that everyone in one population is also in the other. Many aspies have no special interests, or have special interests non-academic type things like baseball cards, or models of washing machines.

A person who traffics in conspiracy theories is more of a paranoid schzophrenic than an autistic.

I'm very far from being a nerd or a geek. I'm more of a Sid. Chubby, cute and slow.

I'm not a nerd at all.

I'm more wimpy.

And I like the countryside, like a hillbilly, although I speak cockney.

My interests have never been nerdy. My interests (not exactly special interests) are Arriva (a bus company), British humour, social interaction, country lifestyle, the Simpsons/South Park/Inbetweeners/Outnumbered, creepy stuff, British politics, and writing stories about families or creepypastas.

Most of that revolves around people. The special interests I've had in the past were certain people I knew of.

My interest with a bus company does not involve memorising bus routes or knowing every last detail of the buses. The interest is basically about the people that operate the buses, and my boyfriend is one of them. Obviously that is NOT the reason why I love him. It just so happens that I am dating a bus-driver from my favourite bus company.

I'm probably a geek and/or a nerd. I'm okay with it. I identify with the label "fangirl" more than anything else

I like to think of myself as a music & video game nerd. Those two things are very dear hobbies of mine, and my interest in both subjects is deeper than a bottomless pit. I keep wanting to discover more and possess more knowledge of anything and everything remotely related to music and video games.
