yeah i'm autistic(diagnosed 4% autistic) but i try not to mention it but people keep on bringing it up so how about you all discuss it here instead and keep it here! *i can tell this not going to go well*
My roommate last year was very autistic. Looking back now, I regret saying the bad things I did about him, because he turned out to not be a bad person at all, despite his crazy behaviours and tendencies. I think I learned from that experience, in that it made me way more tolerant to people. We had good conversations though. He actually was on a level where I could have actual intelligent talks with him. Not many people are around like that, it seems.
Ah man, that is so... ugh. Damn dude. Do you have a special way of communicating with him, and vice versa? Sign language or some similar method?
Oh wow man, that has to be tough. Maybe you can become the next Miracle Worker. They were fucking funny, eh. I was like, so pissed at him, but the truth is... I sort of miss him, weird as it is. Yeah, I was wondering the same.
Yeah, I'm confused. I've never seen anyone diagnosed as a percentage autistic... I have two cousins with Aspergers's, one has Aspergers and is pretty functional, they're both socially awkward and have some speech problems. Both are extremely intelligent. The older cousin also has either OCD or some other disorder that causes him to be paranoid a lot, especially about food and germs.
Seems like most people today are at least 12% autistic because their inability to use simple logic and reasoning. I kid, I kid.
Well, people don't think anymore. They rely on someone else to decide or think for them, and then complain when the outcome or result is not favourable to them. Living your life by means of reason, and logical thinking, and you'll be alright. Maybe not in the eyes of others, but they're irrelevant. Think for yourself; live for yourself. No point in apologizing, either. "I kid, I kid" is not needed. You won't offend anyone with the truth. WELL, many people know the truth most times; they are living in fear of the "repercussions" they will face and refuse to the name the problems publicly, scared to offend anyone who thinks otherwise. Why this is, I don't know. I speak the truth most days, or at least, whatever is on my mind and my mother refers to it as "sarcasm" and "cynicism". Alright Mom, that'll do... that'll do.
Oh no, many are not in touch with their own minds; they turn them off, and as a result, forfeit any possibility of being a rational, thinking human being. Sad, but true. There are reasons I'm not inclined to talk to everyone I see, just to make pointless, oftentimes phatic, conversation. Nothing to gain from it. To keep this thread on track... autism autism autism autism autism ASPERGERS autism autism
ya the only person i know well thats autistic in real life is greenpirate. ive met a lot of autistic people though, some more than others. and ya, i dont know how they would assign a percent of autism, maybe the doctor was just fucking with you.
You know, just because he has the white lab coat and the degree on the wall, doesn't mean you should believe everything an esteemed authority says.
