Aspergers is a fake disease.

That is absolutely spot on. Someone once explained it to me as there being people that they respect, and people that they like... Don't worry about the lack of friendships - I know we're taught that it's bad to be unsociable, but don't believe it. We have different priorities in life, and there is nothing wrong with that - just cherish your family and your hobbies - they're both critical to having a fulfilled life, for us.

And the idiot suggesting that we're possessed by little demons: stop and think for a moment, and you'll realise that what you are saying is pure evil.


Thank you, I agree. Anyone who can say that social awkwardness results from demons is pretty off the wall themselves imo. That really comes out of left field. Anyways, this subject being brought up is making me question things yet again. For instance I work with a group of people, used to work in my own little office with one other person, perfect, but they changed that. Anways, when I walk into the room and say "hi" (I don't always) I get such a depressing response, barely audible responses. One of the girls, the outspoken one, has joked around with me about I should say hi when entering a room but then when I do it's like "Oh, it's HER ugh." I really don't understand why, when I'm friendly and smiling, people cannot reciprocate if even out of common courtesy?

In the post above the first two paragraphs should have been in quotes. Not sure what happened....

What does left field mean?

9 pages of mostly hate filled, uninformed bile.
If any of you have lived with, or parented an ASPIE,
you would be aware of the suffering of these people.

Hypersensitivty to sounds, smell, crowds, the difficulty
they have with simple eye contact,and their childhood
experiences are the stuff of nightmares,they creep other
kids out, are socially marginalised, and ultimately
become reclusive.

Yes, they usually have high levels of intelligence,
and with a lot of occupational therapy and interactive
help, they MAY just be able to find a niche in society
where they feel comfortable.

The signs of aspergers appear at a very early age, failure
to thrive, difficulty into adult years with hand eye coordination, lack of 'affect' meaning, lack of facial expression, and problems with motor function, such as balance,I could go on,but the outward expression of Aspergers is very well documented.

One of the key factors regarding Aspergers, is lack of empathy,not due to a sociopathic disorder,but due to
a lack of "connection" with others.

In my opinion they live a world without the comfort
of friends.

Be kind to Aspies, they are the ones who singularly
focus on intellectual challenges, often they are found
in specialised areas of academia.

Kindness is the only way to interact with them.

We're all missing the point here; Asperger syndrome is not real as a disorder, though it is not the pharmaceutical companies who are responsible for this deviation.
Now, I don't mean to be presumptios; however, I do have an idea of who is behind the epidemic of Aspergers.
It is the king of a fierce countenance.
When a human being displays love of wealth, such as coin collecting (Psalm 10:3), Stubournness and an unrepentant heart (Romans 2:5-8), and deviant eating habits- this could include eating one's excrement- (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), it is a possible sign that Satan has possessed them.
Obviously, on it's own, this is not enough to convince us that possession is the answer, and exorcism the cure.
However, we must remember that we are approaching the end times. The Antichrist and the false Preacher will soon begin recruiting minions to build the army of Satan, and this epidemic could be their work. Remember, guys, that aspergers are usually atheists; and atheism is a harsh attack on god (I think the false preacher may be a certain atheist demagogue who's written a few books and is very popular with aspergers people).
This is, obviously, not conclusive proof of demonic possession, though I think it's worth some consideration.


I'm sure there are exorcists more qualified in this field that we could invite to discuss this matter further on here.
God bless us all in these turbulent times.

Oh, and I am awfully sorry if my above post offends anybody; that is not the intention.
However, the Lord's truth has to be spoken (Acts 10:42) (1 Corinthians 15:1) (Mark 16:15).

They are not usually in 'specialised areas of academia'; they are usually unemployed.

QUIT MAKING BABIES!

As a 12 year old with Aspergers, I can assure you that it is VERY real. It's fucking trolls like you that convince people that it's not. Tell me this, if it's not real, if social awkward-ness is just personality, if it's just an excuse, then why do all the symptoms come together? Answer me that. Plus, do you know how hard life can be? It really takes the piss that we go through this and you go and spout offensive bullshit like that. Don't just immediately dismiss the idea, think about how WE feel.

I have Asperger's Syndrome, and it's very real.

So now we're all fucking devil children...

So now we're all fucking devil children...

And I'm not an atheist.

Me neither

Uhm what?

You first claim aspergers are the work of the devil and thus are evil.

Then you claim you don't want to offend anyone with the drivel you just spewed?

Are you a fucking retard?

One thing it is, is over diagnosed. It seems a lot of parents nowadays aren't happy unless their child has some sort of label. Children just can't be a little "different" anymore. You're no longer just shy or a child with an overactive imagination - you've got Asperger's! There is something 'wrong' with you.

I work with children. I have parents come to me ALL the time telling me about some minor quirk and seeking some kind of label for it. It's ridiculous. Lord forbid someone enjoy their own company or talk a little too much...or not enough. There MUST be something wrong with them!

i am kind of with the OP

especially hate when people subscribe a nickname to a syndrome. an 'aspie'?

thats just crass, and it makes you sound like youre revelling in... this... specialness. in a club... of 'aspies'

and it does you no favours, whether your suffer from something genuine or not

every one and his dog has a syndrome, or a condition, or an allergy, or an intolerance

not wishing to undermine those with a genuine problem, just stating what is obvious - we have started labelling behaviour that is, after all, still within the human behaviour range. and what do you know, more often than not, theres a drug, or other treatment for it

we all know of parents who utterly thrive on such attention, and the parents who have nothing to offer but FUCK YOU

too defensive, by far

i have 2 boys. now, if one of them was diagnosed with a syndrome, i would bend over backwards to get to the bottom of it, and not actively go along with it, much less label him an 'aspie'

come off it, youre not 12

when my youngest started school, soon enough, they were quick to point out his little quirks. he would go through phases. sometimes repeating a word over and over in a sentence. like a stutter, but not. just a drawn out way of saying his sentences. it passed

then he would have a blink. that passed

then he would have a movement he did with his mouth. that passed


he grew out of it. a psychologist mate of mine thought it was just his way of coping at school, his way of staying focussed. i think she was right

BUT THE SCHOOL WOULD HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE IN LABELLING HIM SOMETHING OR OTHER

you should have seen them, all sat round the table with me one time when i was called in

he had absolutely no problems whatsoever. never misbehaved. perfectly normal, happy young boy, and they made him feel bad! like something was up

i wouldnt have minded but they were CLUELESS

hence me having a quiet word with my psychologist friend

huh, half the kids in his class were in 'special groups'

and yet ive known parents who have dyslexic kids and the teachers have to be taught to recogcnose and deal with such children

do not trust the authorities. dont let them label your kids!

wankers

Yes, I am.

Yes, I am.

There you go. Video evidence. Who's a fake disease, cockboy?

Watch the South Park episode where Cartman has Aspergers.

It portrays a fairly satirical look at what people now a days do to feel accepted with made believe symptoms.

What happened to good old crazy and schizophrenic? That just wasn't special enough for recluses... Big Pharma loves your money btw, keep buying their wonderful drugs that destroy your serotonin production.

Great cure.

It's not a disease. It's a mental/emotional/psychological condition. Have you gotten to know someone with Asberger's fairly well, OP?

That's what Asberger's is all about. High intelligence coupled with social awkwardness and probably a little OCD about special interests. It's nerd/geek gone over the top. Personalities are all on a continuum and Asberger's 's is just over the line from normality.

Whoa! Watch out dude! There's lots of shrink types who would consider that a prime example of paranoid-schizophrenic delusion. Everybody's funny, as George Thorogood says.

Yeah I guess...

I don't know any parent of a child with Asperger's, or anyone who has it themselves, refer to them as "aspies." It's almost like making a joke of it. It's odd.

In any case, many people wouldn't even know that someone has Asperger's. As someone said, it is a VERY vague spectrum. My God, you don't like to make eye contact with people? You must have Asperger's! You like "me" time a lot more than time with others? You must have Asperger's! You're shy? You must have Asperger's! You talk obsessively about a particular because you...like it? You must have Asperger's. A kid cries because he doesn't get his way, and has never heard the word no before? He must have Asperger's.

A lot of what they use to diagnose Asperger's is absolutely ridiculous.

I completely agree. If I was a child in school today, they'd have diagnosed me with something. I was shy (still am), liked to read instead of "pretend play," liked time to myself. Parents come to me describing ME as a child, and thinking something is wrong. We all have 'quirks,' should we all walk around with a label? Will that make everyone happy?

Someone in another post pointed out the lack of parenting resulting in kids who have tantrums, and don't like "change" which is just a fancy way of saying they get their way all the time and have a fit when they don't. I have had kids come to me with Asperger's. I've given them tough love - as in I set boundaries, they don't get their way all the time, I teach them how to deal with not getting their way all the time, I have expectations of them, and just like magic, their behaviour changes, and the parents are left asking me "Why is he a completely different child at school?" It's not hard to do the math.

godtier master race schizophrenic reporting in

altough i consider myself sane

a disease are just people trying to label and sort shit out

9 pages of an uninformed shill pushing people's buttons....
In the wake of Adam Lanza and his presumed Aspergers, OP sounds like he has an agenda......

As a Textbook Aspergers, soon to be classified as a 'high-functioning autistic' under the sweeping DSM5 changes, I can see both sides of the coin.

Yes, Aspergers is a real syndrome as Hans Asperger himself spent decades documenting. So did Baron-Cohen, Abbott etc.
In every single brain scan of Aspergians it shows that the brain itself has formed very differently than Neurotypical brains. This is a fact. It's very real.
On the other hand, the general population have been given a very twisted view of what we are by posers, fakes and charlatans claiming to have Aspergers for their own sick and disturbing reasons. There are a number of 'high-profile' Aspies who go out of their way to be in the spotlight when they infact don't even have Aspergers. They are all over YouTube sadly, with their 'poor me' stories and ridiculously 'normal' appearances and expressiveness.
These people have hurt and misrepresented the Aspergers community in so many ways. As the public only see these fools.
Donna Williams, Alex Plank, the hand waving YouTube idiot woman to name a few.
There are many normal people posting vids and writing blogs that it's only natural to the casual observer that Aspergers looks and appears to be a "fake disease" as the people representing themselves are unconvincing and fake indeed.
Am I mad at OP..no, not at all. I understand where he's coming from.

What I am mad at is the hordes of people claiming to have an ailment they don't actually have just to get attention.

I, myself wouldn't wish Aspergers on anyone. Yeah, it's ok to be able to absorb information at a fast rate, think outside the box and have innovative ideas, but as major depression, extreme anxiety, social loneliness also come with the package, nobody would want this...

Cheers.
