Asperger Syndrome Puns

My current diagnosis is asperger's syndrome, but recently I have seen more and more people saying that asperger's syndrome is a offensive term to use.

So, should I stop referring to myself as someone with asperger's syndrome, and if so, why?

I am an adult Diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (High Functioning) and Schizophrenia feel free to ask me any Question you have. IE Whats it like? How do you Get by in life? or even, Do you Screech? (No but I Used to hit my head when I was very young)

For those who don't know or are unfamiliar with either of these I'll give two basic descriptions as how I see them, by living with them...

• AS/ASD (high Functioning): Living with A Profound Level of "Hyper Authenticity" IE Extremely Passionate of Oneself (not to be mistaken with ego) and their interests, fueled by the desire to understand the logic behind said passions and openness to share with others, regardless of whats socially acceptable. This leads to the social and developmental delays due to lack of reason to share and be honest and authentic with others, which is brought on by the desire to be open and express but later feel reserved when following socially acceptable interaction.
• Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder: An immeasurable amount of dread, fear, and delusions grandeur that can only be equated to Living awake in a perpetual state of "sleep paralysis", while physically and consciously awake you are constantly having your innermost "thoughts" in your subconscious taking hold of your life. where your subconscious thoughts engagement with you is felt, your engagement with it is more passive creating a sense of helplessness as you are not in control (this is ONLY way I can make sense of it to you)

I am posting this AMA because I recently had an incident at work and had to clock early. when I have been asked in the past about my disabilities I haven't had really good answers, and after years of therapy and learning about ways to describe them I think I have some answers that could help for any question about them. Because of the incident at work I may be working fewer hours, which I can then use the free time to answer questions more frequently.

Hopefully this gives anyone without a question An idea to start with, or ways I can take this information and my life experience to hopefully elaborate and answer questions.

Hi, all.

I'm a 24 year-old man with Asperger's Syndrome, and I am confused over something: what is sexual harassment? I'm not being obtuse or willfully ignorant, I am just genuinely confused by the (what I see as) lack of consistency with definitions, with forum thread upon forum thread I've read for the last five months saying different things.

Now, I myself know for a fact that I've never, ever had non-consensual sexual intercourse (just to point this out), I've never sent unsolicited photos or videos of myself, I've never asked for such material, I've never 'catcalled', exposed myself, or done any of the most egregious (and unfortunately, common) examples of sexual harassment.

I have wondered, ''.....Perhaps, as a man, I'm not experiencing flirting in the same way most women are?''.

I would imagine this is definitely true, as to be honest, I was under the (potentially naïve assumption) that most boys and men were like my brother and myself, and our close male-friends - i.e., respectful and such (not to sound 'holier-than-thou'). As such, when 'Me Too' and 'Time's Up' began as social movements in 2017, I was genuinely shocked to see the reality of global misogyny - I just didn't notice - partly because I'm not a lady, but also because I wasn't doing (nor did I know anybody who was doing) these behaviours.

The reason why this subject matters to me is twofold; for one, I have always considered myself an intersectional feminist, and a socially-justice-oriented person by nature, and feel that respecting others and being polite is very important.

Therefore, I would hate to think that I've sexually harassed anybody, as it wouldn't sit well with me morally, whatsoever.

Second-fold, I have been dealing with an often-misunderstood sub-type of OCD for the last two years called pure-'O', and one of my 'themes' has been a pathological fear of hurting or mistreating women - this has led me to painstakingly mentally search through the annals of my personal history to find any moral inconsistency; thus far, I can't find any.

The only mistake I can think of that I made with a woman was in July 2020, when I assumed it was okay to restart a sexual conversation with a woman I'd been flirting with two weeks prior, due to the recent precedent, even though I hadn't spoken to her in two weeks. Once I realised my embarrassing error, she couldn't have been nicer about forgiving me, which I appreciated.

So, returning to my opening question - what is sexual harassment? I'

This actually happened a year ago, but my decision to do this has severely damaged my social life. There was this new guy in my home room and several other classes that was so socially awkward and odd that everyone hated him. I felt sorry for him, and his area of Aspergian Monomaniacal interest coincided with a subject that also interests me. I befriended him, and soon paid the price.

First of all, he has very off-putting behavior. He likes to show really disgusting photos of corpses to girls to disgust them, and he makes personal jokes about people that are very offensive to them. He is always interrupting and he gets very pissy when people ignore him.

He started to display very hostile attitudes to all my other friends. He would demand to spend all our free time with me alone. I don't think he is gay, but he was acting like a jealous girlfriend or something. I made the mistake of telling the Asperger's guy about something that my girlfriend had done that pissed me off, and the first chance he got, he told her what I had said about it, causing us to break up!

That was the last straw and I ended the friendship, but it was too late. My girlfriend and friends have all deserted me because of this odd kid. We are due to graduate in May and I have lost friends I had since grade school because of this person that I would have liked to maintain as lifelong friends.

I have tried patching things up with them, but they do not seem interested in rekindling the friendships. I am assuming that my new Asperger's "friend" either told them things or made things up to alienate them.

Even though I told him the friendship is over, the Asperger's guy still calls me at least once a day and often drops by. My mom tries to get me to go hang out with him because she feels sorry for him, but she doesn't know how he has ruined my life.

TL;DR Befriended a guy with Asperger's syndrome and watched my social life self-destruct because of it.

Perhaps because of too many thoughts, there are few days when headaches don't occur.

That's what I've been officially diagnosed with because they still use ICD-10 over here. But I learned about autism from the autism community on TikTok, and my special interest is social justice, so whenever someone refer to my autism as aspergers, I feel so bad I want to throw up. Am I the only one?

An up to date book on the subject would be great. Looking for stuff about the role of the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex.

I'm tired of half baked articles and the same old information.

(NOTE: I've checked Wikipedia, so don't bother with that :)

i never let it out to anyone but family and dxm has helped me cope with accepting it. its the “awe” in autism ig that inspires the true thinkers.

How do I gain more common sense? How to get common sense with ease? What kind of thinking do I need to gain common sense. I made a mistake today due to lack of my common sense and broke my spectacles :(. Now I need to pay 1.5K from my own pocket to buy a new one. :(. Laude lag gaye....:(((((

I am biggest gaandu you can ever see...Please help me how do I become a person with more common sense. I lost my mouse(device) in similar lack of common sense incident. And had to pay 350 out of my pocket... :((( Mistakes are costing heavily as I grow older. Please help me gain more common sense.

Recently, I was confirmed a place at university. I was wondering what to expect from University as a girl with Asperger‘s Syndrome? I get nervous and anxious very easy and am very shy. Is there a blog anywhere of an autistic/aspergers person who has written about what it’s like to attend university and leave home for the first time? Thanks!

This is a rather important question.

So, I have Asperger's syndrome and bi polar disorder, I've also secretly struggled with gender dysphoria. I've been told that can stop you from getting HRT. I've wanted to transition for years, and I never spoke out about it bc of the fear of not being able to...plz help, feel like I'm loosing my mind..

Bonus points if Katsuki is actually a good friend and supports him.

Bonus Bonus points if Izuku gets a girlfriend that helps him grow.

In the middle of the storm google dropped me this while doing research. I've found it useful though its not popular.

Maybe it helps you too.

I'm in the Army and have been for about 6 months now, 11 if you count time in training, and went to behavioral health for general mental health issues.

I had one appointment once and was told "stop drinking energy drinks" and sought a second opinion. After seeing a different counselor... she diagnosed me with Asperger's Syndrome. Saying a lot of my issues line up with autism.

After getting the diagnosis, I was told it won't get me sent home because I'm "high functioning enough to be fit for duty." But still. Kinda helps explain issues I've had all my life. Why do social interactions sometimes feel like a chore, why do I miss sarcasm so often, why do I have special interests in things, why am I sensitive to sounds, and a whole host of other things?

I'm only serving one contract active duty lol. The Army sucks.

How exactly would I maks friends with Asperger's?🧐

Also, I have sort of made friends? But we don't really talk outside of college much and we're not very close. Kinda unsure with what to do.

I am just interested to hear from anyone who has been diagnosed with Autism and has taken psychedelics, or knew anyone who is/has. Just wondering generally if it did anything for you, especially in terms of interacting with other people, and if so what.

Once upon a time there was a lot of promising research in this area. Given the "psych renaissance" and the rising prevalence of the diagnosis, I figured there must be current data to collect.

Thanks

Like burnout etc. And what are other things caused by asperger's syndrome? Please guide a bit.

The funniest thing is that my brain takes what others think is nothing very serious and makes me think about it all day long. So my life is going very inefficiently.

Note: Not diagnosed, but strongly suspect I have Aspergers.

In my search for how/if I can break off on my own and stop working in an office (still doing what I do in an office, but on my own terms, with less day to day interaction), I thought about offering as something to help fill in the gaps of my income, teaching something that I have learned (Karate) to kids that would have a hard time being accommodated in a typical "dojo" setting. As kind of an ad-hock PE class. This is not a 100% altruistic movement, but I do hope to help them feel that they can accomplish something like this as well.

There are two schools nearby that offer education to children on the spectrum, with ADD and also Down Syndrome, that I'd like to approach about this.

While I understand that there are many MANY manifestations of Autism, and I don't have a lot of experience with ADD (but have a friend who is and understand there is at least some overlap of symptoms between ADD and Autism), and I have absolutely zero experience with Downs, is there anything that I can do to both make my teaching more effective to any of those demographics as well as make it as fun as possible without losing the intent of the class?

Any steps I can take to make a student more comfortable in my class, and control "non-compliance" (where it can be, I understand that's not always possible though)? I believe what I have to be a "mild" manifestation of aspergers, as I have been able to just keep living life (albeit uncomfortably) for as long as I have, and have just come close to a "breaking point" that makes me feel as if I should start doing something differently and take more control of my life... so I've not necessarily been exposed to how to deal with certain situations as they arise in more severe cases. I imagine that the school itself would help get me acclimated/adjusted if they accept my proposal though?

Any advice welcomed... even if it is to strongly discourage me from starting something like this. Depending on responses here, I might post this same question in the ADHD forum and downsyndrome on to get more feedback.

Creator of the original one deleted his account. With it original video was deleted.

Does anyone have a copy? I need it more than anything right now :(

In the country(south korea) I live in, Asperger people = just treat as evil.

If it turns out to be Asperger syndrome, you'll be fired from work. There are tons of hateful articles on the Internet that all humans with Asperger syndrome should be put into gas chambers and exterminated.

It's not good to say it's Asperger anywhere. just have to hide it.
