Has anyone else found a way out?

I'm a high school aspie looser turned sociopath. Things have never looked better (for me at least).

Post your cure, but keep it concise. This string might actually help some of you delusional, misguided, slackers.

Well, first of all, hi everyone, I'm new here.

Well, I think this is a common aspie self-diagnosis from what I've seen. I know I've done it. Rather than bringing people closer to u, which often brings disspointment since it doesn't feel natural, u push them away. If you're already an outcast even when you care about people, it's easy to start showing utter comtempt for the world getting u the same result.

This seems to be only the first step though. I've found that being so hard and rigid for a while makes u miss the old days somewhat. I've been trying to loosen myself up some now. I don't think I'll ever be able to be the doormat I once was, so I'm shooting for a healthy medium.

When people use the term "I once was" it means their either desperate or full of ****.

First: You don't need to be isolated to be mean son of a gun, they're plenty of hateful norms out there, I work with most of 'em.

Second: Caring for people is the dissability, many aspies tend to feel little or no emotion toward others

Third: If we missed the old days we'd go back to them, but wearing BDU's is preferable to ill-fitted jeans and nature themed t-shirts

Finally: I was diagnosed by a doc at the age of seven, and have sought a job to fit my apathy ever since.

Every aspie IS a doormat deadeyexx, why do you think people always step on us!

Next contestant!

Being a sociopath means:
When a person dies, their gravesite is either a picnic ground or a public restroom. It just depends on the time of day and how much I've had to drink.

Anyway, becuase there is no medical cure for Asperger syndrome the best bet is to change. Violent social dissorders hinge on the concept of disregarding normality, which is in agreement with an aspie's detachment from emotion.

Hence I just change a few aspects of my lifestyle and "badda bing" TRUE happiness at the expense of others (with no moral consequences).

I just want to see other people's equivalent solutions.

ok still confused...intersted, which is why I continue to respond...but still confused...

first of all...why does the phrase "I once was" indicate desparation? I see no connection there...

second...Speaking as an aspie, my empathy has nothing to do with not feelin emotion for other people...by definition, empathy has nothing to do with caring FOR others, it has to do with caring WITH others.

third...I don't know what BDU's...but then again, I don't really care. I am assuming it is some form of vestement.

finally, what is a doormat deadeyexx? I think i understand the doormat part of that phrase...and I don't agree with it...I'm somewhat the opposit of a doormat, no one walks on me, I'm too stubborn and eccentric...and apparently intimidating, which I find odd and somewhat entertaining.

and who's contesting what?

The cure is surviving the stage where you're surrounded by people who think that petty social crap is the only thing that matters. I think that being in your mid-late teens probably sucks for most people, but for aspies there are no words to describe how much it sucks. But it gets better. You just have to wait it out.

Geek raises a good point. Not by his comments but by his name.

When people express a willingness to "play by the rules" of Asperger's syndrome they transcend the mask so to speak. All I'm really telling people to do is augment your attitude, you know what's wrong now fix it!

If you look like a character from "superbad" what you need is a polo shirt and a haircut!

You guys are getting close, seriously.

Shades you're in the lead

Now ball up that fist and take a swing, and thank yourself... not garlic.

I'm trying to get you'all to step up. Beating back social akwardness is like beating back a person, unless you can convince me otherwise, let fly!

Well, now of course I'd say we're not much different. I'm about as stubborn as they come. However, this resistance, at least for me, was built after a childhood of being led. By doing what I thought I was supposed to do to please the group. Things were often not in my best interest, and by my mid-teen years, I'd bolstered my sense of individuality enough to resist any kind of influence.

Still waiting at 33. :(

You should have seen how angry my supervisor once got when I complained about "petty office politics". Of course, this was also the woman who went drinking with the "cool" teammates 30 years younger than her. Anyone who didn't joint the drinking binges were outcasts... and I was the largest outcast of the bunch.
