New forum theme up and running!
Originally posted by X_marks_the_edGod, I supposedly have Asperger's, but because I found that only the person with it can actually diagnose it, I believe it's a bunch of crap, like ADD.Cure for ADD - Beat your damn kids!Cure for Asperger's - Stop using 'I'm too tired' as an excuse not to let your kid hang out with his friends. :/ That's what happened to me. Now I have no effort to actually find new friends. They can find me, if they can get past my lack of ability to leave my [STRIKE]prison[/STRIKE] house. My tic? It's turling my hair, dur. But that's not autism, that's the friggin' zombie pill I had to take for my "ADD." (My childhood is destroyed now, thank you.) My silence? Oh that's simple. Being accused of being a child terrorist and having to go to several psychologists really does wonders to your mind! There you have it. Asperger's isn't a mind problem, it's a "that kid I don't like" problem.
Originally posted by BluhmanActually, I do have High Functioning Autism, which is basically just Aspergers. However, There are other people in my school who have Aspbergers, and they and I are WAAAY different; They tend to annoy me to no end, Or at least most do. I also don't really suffer from tics (weird little things that some people do, like twiddle thumbs or flap hands or the like).Though I was diagnosed with HFA, and probably could've very well been diagnosed with it earlier on in my life, I somehow doubt that I actually have it now. I do understand how people work, it's just that I am not really a big talker. See, with aspbergers, from what I can understand, it's that they mostly do want social contact, they just really suck at making it.Buuut I dunno; I know that people with it can be severely different from one another. Really, I hate admitting I have it, because those I DO know have it, who do all have some tiny little things in common, just don't really have any sort of personality traits that I have.Really, nothing against y'all with it. I either have been wrongly diagnosed or am in serious denial. :p
