Asperger

Have you ever considered getting tested by a professional specialized in autism? You could learn a lot of things about yourself, and maybe he could tell you some ways to overcome your vices and weaknesses.

(This is a fitness issue, by the way. Most aspergers improve by lifting)

I have an assessment next week actually, pretty anxious about it

I already have a bunch of mental problems, don't need another label

Asperger is not exactly a mental problem.
I mean, it can create problems, but is not like schizophrenia

I got diagnosed at age 3. I could notice a big improvement when I got involved in gymnastics and wrestling. I do wish I'd done a team sport like football so I could learn teamwork better.

I actually took one of those online tests, and most of the questions where just the run of the mill "do you like socialising?" shit but there was some very specific things about walking on toes, rocking while stressed, whistling the same repetitive tune over again etc that was scarily accurate.
Is it worth talking to someone about it if I'm not struggling too much?

>ways to overcome your vices and weaknesses.

I'm on the spectrum (mild PDD-NOS that people wouldn't recognize unless I told them) and you never really "overcome" this stuff, you just adapt to work around it to some degree.

Picking up social cues has gotten better as I've gotten older (28 now), but I still notice there's something missing when comparing myself to others.

Any of us who were diagnosed later on either during late teens or twenties?

I wish someone had noticed sooner but I guess i’ve always been relatively high functioning, enough for my parents to brush it off as me just being weird. I’ve never managed to make friends or keep them well (usually the very few friendships I did have when I was younger it was usually the other person doing all of the work/talking and I ended up just following them around sometimes I guess but I ALWAYS fucked up and they got irreparably mad at me usually because I wasn’t talking to them as much as they’d like/isolating myself to which they took offence or i’d say something rude, so not many of them lasted very long at all.) Whenever someone yelled at me it hurt my ears, I would break down and go to the bathroom and turn all the lights off and sit there rocking, my parents just thought I was being a brat on purpose.

I’d say it’s worth checking out user, you should check with your Doctor if it’s something you want to go through with.

This one is the best test. Do it, and if it indicates a possibility of asperger/autism, consider an appointment with a specialist. He will clarify if you have asperger or if you're just a bit weird/hypochondriac.
Ps: go to a neurologist

I already know I have it.

My family tried to argue with me and told me I'm not in the spectrum and I was just bullied a lot in my formative years that caused me to be this way but it's not true. I'm autistic and best way of managing it for me is actually sticking to a routine and working out occasionally. I actually haven't been in a gym in 8 months so I'm kind of fucked...

Force yourself to exit of your comfort zone slightly every day.
I managed to get friends because I was forced to socialize everyday and I forced myself to learn.social skills.
Protip: when in doubt of saying something weird or not, just shut your mouth

I took a few tests for things when I was in 4th grade, although I don’t really know what they were for and my memory is blurry. I have been on antidepressants since I was 14 (23 now). I know I was diagnosed with Depression, ADHD, and GAD.
I’ve suspected that I was diagnosed with autism when I was little and my parents elected not to tell me since I can function fine.
Is it possible that no doctor I’ve ever seen before would mention this to me?

Yes. Autism is a "difficult" disturb and people who are not specialized on it rarely can recognize it and help it properly.
Are you american?

Yes, I’m a burger

I'm not, that's why I asked you.
Here almost no one gets diagnosed with ADHD and I think it's because in america there's this habit of giving pills to people

Different user here, but yeah I’m not from the US and I have yet to meet more than one person IRL who told me they have ADHD, it doesn’t seem to be as widely diagnosed where i’m from, though I realise that’s anecdotal.

I didn’t think I was that bad desu, I just answered truthfully. Questions are kind of weird, I think I remember doing this before and getting a similar result.

Yeah, find someone specialized in autism in your nation and talk to him.
He will verify if you're an aspie or not, and what to do to improve and a better life in that regard

Getting Veeky Forums won't fix your social retardation, but it will help your social anxiety and make you more attractive, which fixes half of the problem. You still have to address the problem of not knowing how to behave in social situations.

You become better with practice and being Veeky Forums will give you more occasion to safely practice.
You are forgiven more easily if you're good looking or intimidanting due to halo effect

Don't get tested, they will take your guns. There is nothing the doctor can do to fix it anyways.

OP here. If they take your guns don't get tested.
Didn't know burgerland has such retarded laws

Yea, I know going outside and seeing other people is probably healthy for me but it is so hard to do. When I'm in public, I see other people and my mind tries to shut it down and i say to myself over and over again do not look at them

Do not look at them, they are not people. They are not alive

They are not normal

Feels like the worst thing i ever did was go outside and start noticing i'm not the only one who is alive. I've been stuck in this hole by myself for a long time and now going out it just hurts me to see other people live normal lives

You must take small steps

I'm pretty sure I'm already somewhere on the spectrum, so why bother making myself feel like a special snowflake?

Nah, I´m fine.

Nah, I´m fine.

I've suspected that I am for awhile now, but I'm so old that an official diagnosis wouldn't change anything in my life at this point.

being labelled as mentally deficient will not make things better

My psychologist says that although I do have a lot of traits of autism and aspergers, I am not autistic.

No, I'm normal lol

6' 2 as well

>buying your guns legally

Nice meme

>Told psychfag that I enjoy ck2
>She asks how much I've played
>Around 200 hours or so in total
>Oh...
>200 hours spent on a video game is probably an eternety for a normie
>Get sperg diagnosis a few days later

I have actual burgers and 99% of the people who claim to have it are fucking lying. They're just socially awkward and want to shield themselves from criticism. You have no idea what it's like living like this. No idea.
>b-but I took an online test that says...
No. You're retarded. Literally the normiest of normie can take an autism test and declare themselves full blown autistic. It's one of the biggest challenges of getting people to take autism seriously.

>You could learn a lot of things about yourself
Actually you could learn a lot about what they think of you.
