What is it about AS that makes people hunger for a diagnosis

I blame the hipsters, you know it;s getting out of hand when gta touch wood.

Thank you for "translating" . I have been writing for NT's for decades now so I have adapted their indirect writing styles which may make it very hard for my peers on the spectrum to understand me. Also my motor coordination is poor so I type poorly. I also have a habit of typing the same word twice on occasion. I am not sure why these typing issues occur but I think it has something to do with my neurological differences. When I am tired or in a rush these problems are more noticeable.

Please continue to ask if you do not understand what I wrote.

yeah whatever. i am not interested now in the conversation.

previous to me going for a formal dx, i got asked whether i would want one given that im relatively well functioning, to which i gave an obvious yes.

The person that asked was smiling when i said that because she expected me to say that. It's related to black and white thinking is my guess, and to do with having things "formal".

I saw this site years ago and even though i was relatively sure i had autism, the thought of posting here without any kind of formal dx seemed completely wrong in my eyes. I never felt i had a right to post unless i had some kind of formal dx, until that moment i could have my belief challenged and i would have no right to argue my side of things.

its purely an autistic thing imo, its about the release and closure that formal confirmation gives.

i understand b9s point of view. I have always been fascinated by humans. Every new thing in the world was created by a person. It's just that i find that in general i have more interest in the things that people create than the people themselves.

The things people create, its like years worth of work all condensed. People themselves, no matter how brilliant, are just too inefficient outside of the things they create.

I enjoy the books that took years for someone to write but only took me a few days to read so much more than i could ever enjoy the people themselves.

as for these forums, and talking when i know that nobody ever reads, i think that at least someone COULD be reading and just that possibility has me verbalising more thoughts than i ever could if i KNEW that nobody was reading. Just the chance changes my world a little and makes me a little more open to communicating. At times in my life when ive KNOWN that there was nobody that could understand me i havent even attempted to develop my communication skills and thats true for scary massive chunks of my life. i had so little in the way of words when i was 15 and i really didnt even attempt to develop things at that point and it didnt even bother me because i didnt have a reason at all to develop them.

its just nice to have that not quite completely closed off view of the world when in previous times ive KNOWN that nobody could understand the things i say.

I talk but its for me and not anyone else and it doesnt matter a whole lot if people read what i put, its the change in my perception of whether its worth talking that makes things different for me and motivates me to talk crap when yes i pretty much know that nobody ever really reads or understands what i say.

B9 needs a hug , finished off with a dove steak in pigeon sauce

so i am an animal lover and i also eat meat and you feel entitled to prank me about the matter.
chuck your guts over ruveyn who has not a scintilla of concern for the rights of animals.
the last thing i need is a hug. hugs are like social straight jackets, and i am claustrophobic.

hug yourself. you will get more joy from that than trying to hug me.

of cause i tease, had no idea ruveyn held these views. , at least his honest and i can respect him for that , nothing makes me more angry than faux caring.

Um, I'm sorry but how does ruveyn come into this discussion at all?

dont think its related to this thread, it sounds like theres history there.

^^^

their is despite of his put downs of me for having a low iq he doesn't seem to understand the laws of supply and demand.

What ever

i should not have mentioned ruveyn, but i remember him saying recently that animals have no rights because they are stupid. if aussie bloke wants to harass me about my attitude to animals, then he should pick a more suitable target. i should not post when i am tired.




i never have mentioned your IQ. i have never said anything derogatory about you.

i eat meat like many others on this forum do. i eat steak and sausages and hamburgers etc, but i also posted youtube videos of me feeding my animal friends, and you immediately locked on to my apparent hypocrisy and have dogged me about it ever since.

i do not dislike you, but you seem to dislike me. you seem innocuous to me, but i know i am an easy target because i am not popular on this forum and no one will stand in defense of me.

no one here knows who i am in real life, and so people here who dislike me are just words on a screen.

I don't dislike you I just find it odd I guess we will have to leave it at that

waht ever

I'm sure you will love my dove his adorable I wont wink at you cause I recall your not fond of that . (I do recall you like birds)

i am sure i would love your dove too. i could never kill an animal to eat it's meat, but i know that it is somewhat ignorant of me to buy already dead meat at the butchers.

i love all animals. i have a huntsman spider on my wall at the moment and it gives me the creeps, but i would never hurt it and i feel sorry for it.

most people hate mice and rats as well, but i love them. at my previous house i had a family of mice. their population always remained in check because they did not have an unlimited food supply. mice are very clean animals and they spend ages washing themselves.
the innocence in a mouses eyes makes me weak at the knees.
here they are and i am extremely sad that i could not take them with me.
i hate the council for resuming my house. it was later resold to a chinese woman who had them eliminated. so much hurt is associated with real love.

I like to grab his beak and he puffs up like a balloon and starts shaking with joy , I let go and he starts to peck my fingers and so it goes on , funny I have to play on his terms when I'm up for it often he turns his nose (or beak) at me , his just llike a cat in that respect, I should film it and put it on You Tube.

those mice are cute, i would have trapped them and taken them with me (keep them inclosed in a cage perhaps ?)
