Autism

Yup you've got autism>triggered

>2016
The year doesn't depend on autism

no I mean I have schizoid pd and it's cooler

This is why I don't have friends. ^_^ (stupid fucking anime face)

Who else legitimate /sociopath/ here?

Not a legitimate diagnosis in the DSM-V

From my full psych evaluation.

>Hunter

I diagnosed my friend with autism. Didn't tell him or anyone else. Then one day he breaks out with "...I have severe autism...."
He makes strong eye contact
Socialises well
Talks a lot - have to tell him to shut up frequently
Visits concerts whenever he has the chance to
Has had intimate relationships
Doesn't excel at specific things, albeit he likes to think that he does
So...sounds good.
But then...
Flaps his arms, sometimes hands or even his torso when he's excited
Walks with a gait - followed him to our school one day and noticed it's a fast paced horse-like gait
Usually acts inappropriately in social situations but doesn't realise - requires thorough explaining from me as to why things aren't accepted etc
Prefers to talk to people older than he - I'm the anomaly
Attention problems - faked a suicide
Doesn't read people well - can't tell when people are pissed off, sad, angry or happy with him

Would you call this sever autism? I concluded that he was somewhere on the the lower end of the spectrum. He told me that his autism is severe, which I'm guessing he means on the high end of the spectrum. Maybe he included the 'severe' for attention and sympathy. What do you think?

Australia?

America.

I'm not but i wish i was
>tfw want to kill people but my limbic system can't stop giving me shit about it.

Nice trips

It's because the text was flipped upside down.

What do you think about the report, do you think you have bipolar disorder or some form of personality disorder?

He doesn't have severe autism. At least, not what would be considered a diagnosis of severe autism. I know people with severe autism, and trust me, it's far far worse than that.

Yup, thanks for the confirmation.

Fuck

I am you. And my friend has legit diagnosis for aspergers

Probably some minor personality disorder. I kinda like it that way. I don't think I have bipolar (at least in the conventional sense, and if I do its mild). He got that from my acting impulsively a few times. If I stop and think it's nothing.

I kinda liked getting the eval. I went in to get an addy script (also mild diagnosis) and came out with some interesting extra answers. I'd recommend it. It's neat to have a professional confirm suspicions if nothing else.

Haha ayy I have ADHD, and was told at one point that I might have an antisocial personality disorder. I thought it was bullshit at the time and even more so now because I feel like I've outgrown a lot of the shit they "flagged" me for.

Why so many damaged souls?
It wasn't always that way.

Medically diagnosed Asperger's syndrome, INTP and with an IQ of 145.

Asperger's syndrome isn't a diagnose, not anymore anyways.

I was diagnosed when I was younger. Made great marks throughout school but had extremely poor social development. Often suspended for getting physical with other students because I had perceived some sleight against me but felt I had no other way to seek recourse in that moment.

>that pic
>those trips

You think you have it bad?

I look at a blank canvas and I don't see anything. I never look at the moon, because, why bother? The sun? Looks like nothing. Fire. All I see is darknes

Dude

True intelligence comes from knowing and understanding yourself in order to control your reality in anyway you see fit.
People who cant control their thoughts/emotions/interactions lack mental discipline and control. Sure you MIGHT have a "high IQ" but without being able to execute it properly you're never gonna be as effective as a non-autistic "high IQ"

This thread made me realise how infested with brainlets this board really is. Autism is just another excuse.

>only realizing that now
No user. You are the brainlets.

>tfw to smart to have autism

What's it like?

manic-depressive here
>tfw medication doesn't do shit

Those trips

Impressive, very nice. mmm

stop playing dark souls and you will cure yourself

Autism is not real. Its psychological construct which is basically alchemy.

>Guyses, I'm totaly smart its just that I have the Autism so that's why I suck at school XD

I sometimes talk to myself in public or at work.
I pretty much stopped caring what people think of me so it's ok

Look at the Wikipedia page. Manic episodes where I just want tear into the fabric of existence and depressive episodes where I feel almost not alive.

>MFW anime makes mental disorders look weird but functional and interesting but it's all lies

I keep doubting whether I'm aspie because I can recognize faces. I have literally every other symptom though.

Im having a hard time with calculus 1.

yes it was, they would just die sooner and more often

autist here, INFP, also have generalized anxiety disorder
my pain lately has been people, I have a strong suspicion that as much as I love the human race in principle, I just don't like people in practice
my new job has started to help that though, and I had a realization the other day about some people I interact with on-line that was nice

>recognize faces

I don't think the inability to recognize faces is a symptom of autism user. You're in denial.

sciencemag.org/news/2004/02/autism-impairs-face-recognition

I don't remember having to train myself or get trained to recognize faces.

If autism is a singular syndrome, then everyone with it should have all the symptoms.

that's usually not how mental disorders work

Might be un-diagnosed but

>Have ADD, OCD, general anxiety disorder
>Lack any form of oculo-manual coordination, and any form of motor skill ; have trouble walking down things
>I have repetitive activities and a routine which I accomplish everyday. If disturbed, I feel immense anxiety
>I am awkward in all social situations, have near to no friends, cannot make eye contact, am easily surprised
>I talk either too slow, too fast or with a too low volume or too high, never correctly
>I cannot read people's faces or eyes.
>I am probably asexual and am emotionally oversensitive
>I stimulate the palm of my hand by piercing it with pointy objects, and used to hit my forehead on pointy things when I was younger
>I compulsively clap my hands when excited

Prove to me I am not autistic.

Impressive digits.

>I also walk on my toes often, and cannot run without doing that.

I know how to use Wikipedia, I asked you because I wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth. Schizoaffective just sounds like severe bipolarism.

Sounds more like anxiety disorder than autism. Autists are in general not particularly anxious.

I disagree. Autism is a feature that let's you sort out emotional inputs which could distract you from whatever you were doing. If you are equally smart as an autist but get distracted by social signals all the time you won't get as much done as an autist who could focus fully on whatever he's doing.

Anxiety is comorbid with autism, and doesn't explain all the symptoms.

>intp
>implying shitty psychology theory can generalize people's personality

Anxiety is comorbid with very many kinds of mental issues. Anxiety when disturbed could be the OCD.

How does that explain the other symptoms? I am very easily surprised, even when I'm not anxious. If my parents speak to me and I hadn't anticipated that, I will be scared.

I also dislike certain kind of clothing, like jeans, tags, wool, and things that are too tight. This might not seem much, but most of the symptoms I posted cannot be only explained by anxiety or OCD. Even before I had generalized anxiety (when I was a kid), I had trouble making friends, and socializing. I remember I used to throw excessive tantrums during which I hit myself and wanted to destroy my room when I was a child, because I lacked any friends. When I'm frustrated, even today, I still have similar ''tantrums'', but I mostly just hit myself.

Maybe I don't have autism, but, to me, it just seems like a more likely explanation than having generalized anxiety disorder + 10 other mental issues.

for fucks sake just meditate 10 minutes a day and actually WORK on lowering your anxiety i.e getting out of your comfort zone. If you blame a "mental disorder" you are never gonna better yourself

Anyone on this thread ever hear about neuroplasticity...?

Brainlets that don't understand confirmation bias

The toothbrush doesn't depend on the coal miner.

Holy fuck you guys. It's the devil

WEW

I laughed

>Claims to have severe autism
>Able to talk and doesn't grunt like a fucking orc

Your friend's a special snowflake

Schizoid personality disorder here. Makes my Aspergers a bit easier to cope with.

>wake up
>jump out of bed as fast as possible
>run down the stairs into the kitchen and shout/say something retarded like, 'Commander on deck!'

every fucking day, I love this shit

>tfw INTJ

I have Asperger's but nothing I am interested in will "get me ahead." I hated school so didn't go to university but study what interests me so if I wanted a career in the sciences I am fugged. Guess it's back to wasting my life playing DotA 2.

fucking kekked, srs, people with severe autism can't even communicate it's insanity, literally

>DotA 2

ekstreme autism detected

Just kill me.

know I like when people suffer

>tfw I'm an INFP.

absolutely absolutely he has to

I don't think neuroplasticity ''cures'' autism, or how meditation affects reliably anxiety. ''Getting out of your comfort zone'' doesn't work, I just want to vomit when I do that.

And I already tried doing meditation, and I don't believe it worked.

A guy I know with dota 2 slays pussy the real loser here is the rts/grand strat player me

Got diagnosed when I was a kid. There are basically no benefits to being an autist. Some people can get very good at a specific task, but the inability to socialize or function in a working environment cancels out the benefits. I'd take a cure in a heartbeat.

Basically mental retardation mixed with Schizophrenia. This is why I'm heavily against lumping up people with Atypical autism, HFA, and Aspergers under the same disorder as those people.

I think that the world is just a dream and that I'm an incomplete god that has yet to master the art to control everything.

Because there exists no "comfort zone" if there is no sense to measure with in social situations.

Those diagnoses are mostly excuses to mentally milk the subjects with surveillance. And when they understand that they stop doing their best (well obviously).

Also excuses to milk their patients salaries through selling them shit like Ritalin in order to make the wallets of (((them))) a bit bigger :^)

And the stopping to do their best is interpreted as the sickness striking when it really is the consequence of the surveillance.

Yes and anyone pointing it out is a "quacksalver" or "conspiracy theorist".

I don't understand what you mean. You mean that because I lack understanding of social situations, I do not have any comfort zones as there's no baseline of social acceptability to compare it to?

I just meant that I don't get how getting out of my comfort zone would solve my motor problems, my emotional over-sensitivity (or extreme lack of at times), the fact I enjoy stimming, etc. Maybe it could do something for anxiety, but then again, if I ever do something I haven't routinely done before, I feel like I want to vomit.

My therapist can't decide if I'm Autistic or have "ASPD", which I didn't realize was a thing until recently.

In the UK it is.
