Hey guys, OP here. I was actually looking for books that appeal to people with Asperger Syndrome. I'd appreciate it if all jokesters left the thread now.

Ha you siad "Assburgers"

unironically the case

Literal aspie here.

I try to read classics a lot, I really like the Russians, 19th century English literature, Shakespeare, Greeks, the Japanese, I've got a thing for African American literature, especially if it's related to jazz music or slavery (Frederick Douglass and DuBois especially) and I don't mind science fiction but I don't go out of my way to read it.

I was genuinely that kid between 4-6 years old who needed to be taken out of class for half an hour and I was also one of the kids used for university students' psychological studies on aspergers and autism in the 90s. I don't feel particularly different from people or out of place nowadays but back then I really didn't fucking get it when people were mad or upset with me.

the wrapper to some m&ms

I loved this book as a kid.

Shut up

hey be nice to the aspie

No

Go to wrongplanet forums if you're suicidal and want to read something that might push you into actually killing yourself.

I read a book about an autistic kid once and went to check out their forums to see what they thought, and they unanimously decided that a neurotypical person shouldn't be writing about autism because they can't know what it's like.

Notice the hypocrisy - they get to talk about neurotypicals but nobody can talk about them. Also by this logic men can't write female characters etc.

Most people there only read science because apparently enjoying literature (or anything for that matter) which doesn't directly improve your knowledge of science is a waste of time.

Most obnoxiously arrogant group of people I've ever seen. They consider themselves people of logic, yet because of their extremely limited abilities, half the time their thoughts and actions are completely devoid of logic. Like why are you having a bitch fit because someone is two minutes late?

Their political views are even more retarded - they're all libertarians yet ironically most of them would be dead by now without state support, because nobody wants to employ spastic people.

literal aspie here.

I just started reading Kafka and Dostoevsky.

When I was in high school I read a lot of works by Muhammad Haji Salleh. he is a bilingual poet.
I read Fariduddin Attar's works multiple time when I was early teen.

Personality-wise I'm more like anxious version DFW if you ever read his bio.

Though I consider myself a very happy person most of the times. I'm more incline to live in a socialist society, I thought great talents such as Tarkovsky can only exist in such environment, tho I know this sounds dumb but whatever

We read the same things as everyone else on here does.

I think most with the tism can relate to No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai.

Where are you on the scale? One of my uncles is an aspie (we think) and he isn't able to calm down enough to sit and read. I suspect that he'd end up taking everything very literally if he did.

Wittgenstein is literally the anti-autistic philosopher

Just look at your bookshelf.

I'm high-functioning, but sometimes I even doubt that I have asperger's at all as I've taken tests recently that have suggested I might not have it, but I suppose that's down to how I was brought up as a child too as my parents did as much as possible to make sure I didn't retreat from social situations (still socially awkward though but who isn't at least a little awkward) and that I understood how my actions might make others feel. I remember vividly struggling with that as a child.

My mother has volunteered before to work with disabled adults and she's met some people diagnosed with autism who can't communicate and have never quite learned how to speak or write. I don't think a lot of people seem to realise how debilitating it can be.

, I'm I have PDD-NOS, aka a bit of goddamn everything. I e.g. find it difficult to have a conversation with strangers (unless I'm drunk) but I don't really mind talking to people I know. I have problems doing certain physical tasks like showering (it's gotten better though, so now I shower 4-5 times weekly). In my teen years I was extremely anxious but now it's at a more tolerable level. I'm very tired almost all the time. My main problem is that I suffer from several other things - depression, bulimia and psoriasis among others.

There are huge differences between autists. I read two to three books monthly. I used to know a guy with aspergers who would literally read 3+ hours every single day even though he couldn't clean his own room. On the other hand, I know an autistic teenager with ADHD who is literally unable to concentrate enough to read a short story for a class.

I'm currently doing my country's equivalent of GED/A-levels/Abitur because I was too sick to finish it as a teenager. I'm finished this summer, then I'll probably do a gap year and then get a degree in foreign languages.

What do you mean you didn't understand why people were upset with you?

Not him, but I've had this problem. For example at work I've tried to be nice and help people out only for there to be some sort of miscommunication along the way causing the other person to misunderstand me and get pissed. It's happened enough that I assume it's my fault in some way. But I finally realized the only solution was to never help people with anything and never be nice to anyone. If you're just an asshole, mind your own business, and keep to yourself, things work out better.

Ah good choices. I think existentialism is perfect for an aspie

>Wittggestein
>The greeks
>Borges
That's my shit as an aspie.

Well as a child I found it very difficult to understand why people were frustrated with my behaviour if I was behaving poorly and sometimes I would struggle to understand why somebody might be upset at something or why someone might laugh (I used to think laughter was aimed at me a lot of the times which used to frustrate me). It literally is autism, you just don't quite click with people on an emotional or empathetic level.

Of course I'm nothing like that now and I give credit to having parents who tried their hardest for me to not become like that.

Thank you for boiling down why I can't stand him

>Wittgenstein is literally the anti-autistic philosopher
That's because you only understand autism as it is implied when it is used as an insult on the internet.
Wittgenstein was very likely autistic and his Tractacus is a great example of "autistic cognition" (if every aspie was as genius as he was ofc).

Well good. I hope it all goes well for you.

>This book is nothing like anything you've ever read before. The author himself doesn't read at all, so the book basically reinvents the concept of the book, built on a background of video games and a serious obsession with numbers. If you are a very 'literate' reader and unable to read anything without seeing it against the conventions of a thousand years of literary tradition, you'll have trouble enjoying this book. If you can keep a very open mind, you'll get a rare glimpse to a world seen by a mind that doesn't work like most of ours. I would like to call this a gem of outsider literature, but the term suffers from association with lunacy and incompetence. Nick Smith is neither. He is very conscious of the peculiar workings of his mind, and follows confidently the path laid out by those peculiarities, and the result is something wonderful. Highly recommended!
Is it a deconstruction of the literature genre?

Mein Kamf

I know an aspie who reads a lot. Not sure what they get out of it because they honestly can't write, and they're usually quite stupid when it comes to philosophising. They had an affinity for Schopenhauer who seemed to 'get' them on their views of women - I think they were an incel. They also think girls are nothing but an aesthetic accessory for them. Not sexual, not love; just an appreciation for the female form, or something. The same kid heard "Michel Foucault" and thought it was the English, feminine "Michelle". To which they asked, 'Who is that? Foucault's wife?"

They always speak like a poshy English kid even though we're in a colony, not sure why that is.

I didn't realize having aspergers made ya braindead. I read James Joyce mostly.

I'm talking about the purpose of his philosophy not the man himself
I don't know if he was autistic in the traditional sense either, its hard to say. There was something up with him but its too easy to just declare him autistic when he did not carry many autistic traits

On a second note: Joyce is almost perfect for aspies like myself because there is so much to deconstruct and his characters give me better insight to theory of mind.

nobody said it made ya braindead, idiot. your autism is showing.

I read a lot of science fiction and horror.

there is no 'asperger' or 'autist' which is set. The autist reacts to patriarchy as quiet and emasculated, and seeks to imitate it while remaining an outsider. Recall that study where they found the autistic brain to be 'hypermasculine', in correspondence with their interests. That essentialist nonsense confirms this stance: the autist is a mimic.

Found the whitey.
Men can be feminine. neurocucks cannot be queer, while the queer can experience what it is to be a neurocuck via observation
>1. no focus on characters or interpersonal relationships
Go read John Green you psychorealist.
There is no mind. Stop being NTR'd

People with aspergers read Veeky Forums

>the autist is a mimic
Only because he has to. Aspie children learn it very early that they have to adapt.
I know from experience that most people hate difference (real difference, not skin colour or funny clothes), especially the ones who say they value difference.

>t. never read the tractatus

What study?

Martin Luther

Aspie here
Mimicking people is the easiest way to socialize and in my mind could help me fit in. Deep down though I feel mostly empty.

Legit autist here. Diagnosed and everything.

Just regular stuff like everyone else on this board.

the purpose of the thread is to see what you like especially. books you connect to. obviously we know you can read

Well, the most recent thing I finished reading was Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde.

Off the top of my head, I enjoyed The Wasp Factory, Cannery Row, The Endless Steppe, Watership Down, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

I did not particularly enjoy Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Great Expectations, or Oliver Twist, but I read them because they were classics.

My favourite children's book was Tistou of the Green Thumbs, followed closely by The Wind in the Willows, and then Jennie by Paul Gallico, although I did not enjoy The Snow Goose.

Also, Infinite Jest was an utter joke and I despised it.

Aspire here, I like Kafka, Chekhov, Bulgakov, dickman, Frank Herbert, and David foster Wallace so basically entry level Veeky Forums

Idk what I read OP that would give you a proper answer other than since I was 6-7 I've been able to read at a high school level. Everything else is a bit stunted as far as learning goes and my handwriting is still pretty shit.
My Asperger's is more like I'm really really smart but have a massive struggle just expressing ideas and thoughts to people because the way I think follows a different path, plus it's less effort to be silent and we can all be a but lazy sometimes.
In social situations I'm either really awkward and polite speaking a few words or very 'intense' blunt and course.

Dinosaurs still will always be really fucking dope.

>all these undiagnosed “”””Autists”””””

More like artists. Even if you are diagnosed I chalk it up to the system trying to systematically wean out anyone with inherent talent or intelligent by making it a weakness

Fuck you normie you guys are the strange ones, always talking about some benign boring thing you did, laughing at nothing or somebody's failures as if it'll never happen to you. At least with Asperger's I can understand my self in my own way and also tell when other people have it too. I can truly trust another Aspie but I almost certainly don't trust anyone like you.

spergs are just fags who got coddled too much by their mom and never had to develop real social skills, aspergers isnt on the austism spectrum its on the momma's boy spectrum

Evola

to be fair autism is mostly a pop-psych meme when concerning people who aren't full blown flailing louis theroux documentary tier retards but merely part of the "spectrum." it'd be safe to say 99% of actual profound philosophers of history would be diagonosed with autism if they were alive today.

I’m not intelligent and I was diagnosed as an aspie. I major in philosophy and film if that tells you anything, minoring in eng lit. Probably going to come back to university in a few years to do law and comp sci so I can be a robot lawyer.

Strawman - The Post
>They're all libertarian
They are either left or right as they tend to pick extremes, although I am dead center.
>They shouldn't judge neurotypicals for trying to understand them without asking them
journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1362361317708287 . Basically in a society that is made for neurotypicals to succeed, it would be obvious to see that we spergs have had to adapt to it all our lives which is primarily our suffering and unnecessary suffering for family members. It's time for neurotypicals to accommodate to us even if it is just in a small way. It not only makes life easier for us but also for all of the family members, trust me on this one I actually have good experience after some rough years with my mom and dad through all of my childhood.
>Their extremely limited abilities, half the time their thoughts and actions are completely devoid of logic.
Some are not although yes they I would say they are generally dumber than your average Joe due to a very unbalanced IQ. Also they are more logical because they are more analytical and this is known. We aren't "automatic" and emotional because we can't be. We can't be automatic because we aren't made for this hierarchical society.
I know I got baited but because I'm an aspie and I love for things to be right and orderly I had to reply to such a vile post.

Not true. Most accomplished people through history were almost never aspergian, it doesn't even make sense for them to succeed in bringing fourth their though, no matter how brilliant. I doubt Newton, Einstein, Wittgenstein and all the other brilliant men were aspergian at all, even though they showed signs. Aspergian people almost always have extreme fluctuations in their IQ sub-tests and have weird motor control disabilities (sports, driving cars) which makes them even less neurotypical (i point this out because neurotypical people are more successful in a neurotypical society by default), which goes to show that to truly know if these people were aspergian you would have to give them a diagnosis unfortunately. Although I would have loved for Wittgenstein to have been aspergian because I love his ideas and mannerisms, and I can relate to him, It will never truly be known.
