Trust me, I am.

I think analytically, black and white, friendships are very difficult, like routines...etc. etc.

Who's to say that it's not possible to still be a NT but be more sensitive than average and have asperger-like traits?

How are friendships difficult? You're good looking = Nts love you = end of story

That's how it's always appeared to me

You evidently have friends and most NTs dont' find friendships easy anyway - they're always moaning about each other on the NT forums I look at eg Digital Spy and TSR - a student one

it's constant angst!

What the hell is your problem, nessa?

You know something. I have a strong feeling you're not Aspie at all. You haven't shown me through any of your posts that you've had typical Aspie experiences and struggles. I think you're just an NT who sympathizes with some of the Aspies and wishes she was one of them.

I never even went looking for an AS diagnosis - I had it foisted upon me via occupational health via my job at the time
so to accuse me of not being one is rich when I have a diagnosis I never even went looking for!

What are 'typical aspie experiences' anyway?

If you don't know what "typical aspie experiences" mean, then how can you be an Aspie? You must certainly be an NT.

False diagnoses happen all the time anyway.

MCalavera, are you a doctor specialising in ASD? Or do you are you telepathic?

If you can't tell me what they are perhaps it's you who doesn't know

People spend a lot of time on here saying there IS no 'typical aspie experience' so this is a bit of a turnaround must say

I have practically no friends, was rejected by my peer group, people often take an instant dislike to me and find me weird a lot of the time, I can't formulate my thoughts into words quickly or colloquially enough, I get taken advantage of and bullied and when the stress of it all builds up too much I tend to explode with rage - shall I go on?

I'm textbook in other words

That doesn't necessarily make you Aspie, though.

Also, you do have at least one friend whom you actually sleep with on a regular basis. Let's not lie now.

Didn't you know? "Typical aspie experiences" means "the same problems the person you are talking to at that moment deals with."

That's one of the first things I learned on this board. If your issues and experiences aren't exactly the same as others here (whether the issues they're referring to are part of the diagnostic criteria or not), then you're clearly not a real aspie (whatever the f**k that means).

I wouldn't call him a friend at all - he's exploited me for sex and money - that's how I'd interpret it in the cold light of day now I've ended it with him.

Anyway, plenty of people on this board are married with a group of friends so they are less aspie than me then by your reckoning!

If you want to spot the aspie - spot the person getting picked on - that's how it usually goes

Yes I'm guilty of doing that myself but only because some people seem to have all the aces I lack and I fail to see why they aren't making them work for them as I think I might be able to

It's unfair to judge people like that though I know

You've said it in a nice way though

That's nessa's criteria of being an Aspie. :lol:

I don't think you're a very nice person at all

I thought bullying wasn't allowed on WP either

You have an aggressive avatar and evidently thrive on being unpleasant

That's the whole point I was trying to make here. You can move on now as I've had my fun for tonight.

And you're not at all passive-aggressive and judgemental, are you?

Why would anyone want to be seen as an Aspie if they weren't one? To me it doesn't make sense? If someone is honest enough to say they were bullied, made to feel like an outsider, that they suffered with social settings, surely they deserve some understanding in a place that should be viewed as home (WP) and not an attack on the possibility of being a "fake" aspie?

I think MCalavera you came in here and immediately started attacking with pre-conceived judgements of your own?

Do you honestly think you hold sufficient documented information on Nessa to claim whether she is an Aspie or not?

And do you not see how that is insulting, to say the least?

It's almost as if someone told a gay person they doubt they are a man.

Nope, just trying to make a point. nessa is the one who makes judgements about other Aspies not being Aspies.
