greetings from me here in Norway

Post Reply New Topic

Hi my name is Artur , curretly on my 35 round with Tellus, living in Norway , Im new to the forum and also to the Aspergers diagnosis , just hear about it from a psychiatrist 2 weeks ago , and going for further tests and diagnosing in a while

At fists it way hard for me to accept that i might have or be labeled with this syndrome , but after some reflection on my life situation and history i see that there are many of the criteria that fits , but some dont - especially the 'lack of empathy part , that i dont feel applies to me , i have empathy , for a suffering 'soul' , but not for a ego being responsible for its own actions and results.
My feelings of emphaty is also more for the ones suffering from effects imposed from the illusions of conteporary society and 'zeitgeist' than the pleasure seeking ego that knowinglgly .still in some strange form of denial unable to see the inevitable consequenses , make choices that create short term pleasure , but ulitmately lead to some discomfort and suffering ,
Im not saying i dont do this myself also , I just feel more aware of it that the awerage


Enough said about that for now , lol , to the point.. I now feel so now it feels more like a relief to get this diagnosis , it explains alot to me in an ojective way ... ,and I can let my shoulders down and stop blaming myself , something that creates and unatural and counterproductive superiority / inferiority complex at times ..

As i tend to get into details when writing and my post become very long and cost me much energy and time that i dont really have atm , i think i will post more videos on topics , i hope thats ok

Im glad to have found this forum and have see so many interesting posts that i can realate to in the short time i been reading , and to my great relief i havent seen any about the weather yet , lol

Empathy is one of the things that outsiders claim we do not have, but you will find a lot of reasoned empathy here.

Aspergers is not a thing, it is a wide range, with only three out of twelve traits needed. It is an unusual range of being a normal human, it is an edge, and we are all very different.

You have a high IQ and a few personal quirks. Any one of your quirks can be found in many.

Welcome to the party.

Hi, Artur!

Welcome to Wrongplanet!

My ancestors are from Norway!

I hope you enjoy posting here!

Welcome to WrongPlanet

Welcome on this momentous day

Greetings, Artur, the Tantrix!

I hope you find good information, inspiration, companionship, comfort and good humor at Wrong Planet.

You are the first person I've met here from the Kongeriket Norge. I love seeing pictures of the landscape. Hauntingly beautiful.

Now, as to empathy. . .

In my experience, empathy is in very short supply in this world. And it is a somwhat essential ingredient. Sort of like Love. So, I'm very greatful to encounter empathy from any person, anywhere, any time. So, Aspie or not, please continue to be empathetic!

Now, please be who you are, and explore this place. Enjoy.

"What was wonderful...about developing friends through this internet support group was that it was in writing! I could see and re-read their words. I could respond or not respond as I was ready. Things didn't move at the rapid pace that overwhelmed me in real-time. Most importantly, these people understood me. They experienced life in much the same way I did. I was valued for the inner me that I shared with them. I didn't need to play the social games the world seemed to expect of me. I went to visit my new friends. I began the process of un-learning the self-defeating strategies I had learned in order to survive in a world I failed to understand."
