Re: Aspergers is a fake disease.
Alright, I didn't elaborate. Someone tell me what disorder I have:

I sometimes have a fear of checking replies to e-mails, and I definitely a fear of answering the phone. It only helps if I'm not expecting the call (like to come in for a job interview) and then I'm alright.

If I mess up in a social situation, it eats me inside for quite some time.

I can make friends, but can rarely keep them.

I've had one girlfriend my entire life. I'm 22.

I am attracted to weird people.

The idea of a big party is surreal to me.

I don't have my driver's license, because of the fear of proving my driving skills to a stranger.

I hardly say two words to people at family gatherings, not because I'm shy...but because I used to be and I don't want them thinking, "Wow. Why does he talk now and not before?"

I could go on and on.


I don't think you're an Aspie, there's something else wrong with you. Aspie's don't usually have your kind of social fears, they just don't understand what the proper social behavior is in the first place. They don't usually suffer in the least from this either, but the isolation that follows can get to them in the end. And Aspie's aren't attracted to weird people; Aspie's ARE weird people!

I'd just call you a plain old neurotic. Not sure if that's a proper diagnose though. But your problems strike me as the kind psychologists can actually fix with suitable therapy. Not just talking sessions, but practical exercises, designed to slowly normalize the feared thing. Fear of spiders can be trained away in this manner, as an example, and I'm pretty sure fear of social situations can too.

Social Anxiety Disorder. Completely fixable. A little meds, a lot of therapy, then taper off the meds, and Presto!

Re: Aspergers is a fake disease.
I'm not
bump Im not saying that autism doesn't exist now it sure does and people who say they have aspergers may actualy have it. Or when I see something like this bragging about a serious sydrome like he's the next einstein I wonder how many people really do have it and how many people are just asses. 10 times smarter maybe but not sexier.

I have aspergers and I can guarantee you I am NOT slow, in fact I'm probably 10x's smarter than you.

It is not invented, finding out I have aspergers was the best thing that ever happened to me, its answered alot of questions for me.

Re: Aspergers is a fake disease.
Through what I've read you sound down right retarded. First off they aren't trying to cure aspergers you dumb fuck, they're trying to help people with it actually become something in life, so they don't become people like you posting your every thought that pops into your head online, while wasting resources doing it.

Secondly saying aspergers doesn't exist is like saying sexual abuse or rape never happen, and the after affects of such are just made up by the child or victim because they want to feel "special" or have attention given to them.

I think it's time you wake up and smell the coffee. People with aspergers are real. Half of them don't ever actually receive the help they need, whether it be emotionally, physically, or financially so there's one hole in your goddamn theory that we're wasting money.

Next on my list is cancer. You decided to mention that cancer is something worth throwing money into, but yet we've been trying to cure the goddamn thing for almost a hundred years. I have to agree with the person above or below me ( I don't remember where exactly) They don't want to cure it they just want to continue to sap money from people and tell them the only way to best way to cure it is kimo. Did you ever notice that there hasn't really been any real break through in cancer for quite some time. Do the math and get back to me

So in conclusion I'll say, that your argument is quite transparent, and I'm guessing the only real reason you made this post wast to be a piss off, and gain the attention that you lack from the opposite gender and your friend ( assuming you have any left). So all in all congrats goal achieved, you proved your intelligence level is that of fifth grader, and your understanding of the world is about as deep as the wading pool at an amusement park. Well done

Re: Aspergers is a fake disease.
autism does not, and will never, equal aspergers.

comparing aspergers to autism is like ....well....dont obsess over it.....................
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 824929


No, autism isn't asperger's. You are correct. That's why they have two different names and even the medical community has some sort of consensus that they aren't caused by the same things either. A low functioning asperger's sufferer isn't the same as a high functioning autistic person.

You want to know about made up diseases? ADHD/ADD. Those are bs diseases to describe children acting out in an excessively controlled environment.

Parents cannot control whether or not a child will or won't have asperger's. There is nothing that a parent of a healthy baby can do (or not do) in order to cause her child to have asperger's. To blame the parents is to blame society (the "village") as well. Most parents don't have much time to spend with their kids unless they are jobless, just so they can put food on the table.

Re: Aspergers is a fake disease.
I agree with you Moondust, but the folks who are putting DSM V together are trying to incorporate the two syndromes into the same thing. The medical establishment is yet again screwing with people's lives, rather than helping them.

I AM asperger's - one doesn't "have" it - they are it, unfortunately. Some aspies are happy being that way, though I'm not, since intimacy - emotional and sexual, are THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN MY LIFE. I've got all the rest - I could work for it and earn money to buy everything I want, except intimacy. I can't even get a hooker because my "vibe", if any, is undetectable, and that makes them feel creepy.

There's nothing fake here. Confidence comes from early success, and I've got that in spades in business, but not sexually. Any time I succeeded, I never knew why, nor why it was not repeatable. There's some factor missing - not yet understood, and it makes millions of folks sad beyond belief.

Re: Aspergers is a fake disease.
I think I see where OP is coming from.

Op is saying ass-burgers is just another way for the socialist PTB to divide society and control through victim mentality.

Probably, in most cases a failure in parenting. Let me tell you a story, a true story.


I had a musician friend, a drummer I worked with who had a problem child. They commie shrinks put every label there was on this kid, autistic, tourrettes, ass-burgers. Simple fact is, my poor drummer friend and his wife had this novel concept "we are gonna let our kids do what they want, no discipline".

As you may have guessed the kid ran with it. He cussed to no end ("tourettes") he acted wierd and flung his hands ("autistic") he was anti-social and ignored anyone when he wanted to did what he wanted and acted stupid ("ass-burgers").


I decided to be this kids friend,played video games with him, listened when he talked and if he acted stupid I let him know my feelings were hurt and our friendship was in danger.

Well guess what? This kid developed self-control! This kid started to act normal, he finally had something of value in his life, that is someone whoi cared enought to take the time, not just dole out some chemical and some bullshit NWO socialist words.


Boy were his parents pissed. I had proven that their lack of discipline and inability to provide tough love has created a monster!

I can't say if ass-burgers is real, butr I have a hunch OP is onto something

Re: Aspergers is a fake disease.
Personally I feel Aspergers is Autism. It's low end autism, and really shouldn't have it's own medical denomination. Because, like this thread, it just muddies the waters.

I have a step son with Aspergers (as his mother likes to call it), a son with mid-high end Autism, and I thought I had social anxiety disorder (until my son came along). Probably, we all have the same thing - Autism. A different brain bias (from the majority) which is neither a disease or, more annoyingly... a disorder.

Having seen what so called "normal" people have done to this planet, I strongly contend that there is anything wrong with a different way of thinking.

 Quoting: 1464021


nice statement


People are different, and it takes all types to make a world. When the framers stated "we hold these truths to be self-evidend, that all men are created equall" it stands to rerason they meant "as" equals, as in equality of opportunity. They did not mean affirmative action, external handicapping (as in Vonneguts story) or robin-hood style social theft.

Yet that is what the "minds" of modern acadamia offer.

Nowadays, were you to produce a Mozart, shrinks would drug him to dullery. Were you to produce an Einstien, the same. This insecure and selfish view that all humans must be identical is what is strangling society.

After reading this entire thread yet again, I begin to see the victim aristocracy and it's ugly head of entitlement demand preferential treatment.

A failure of parenting, an intolerance to human difference, and a cold jealousy and loathing of excellence and achievment.

So many of you have been brainwashed and bought the line. Or should I say the hook is set firmly in your jaw.

"Who discovered Asperger's?

During the 1940s, a man named Hans Asperger noticed that a group of very intelligent boys did not behave like the rest of their peers. After studying these children, Asperger decided that they must have a developmental disorder."

Call it a syndrome, whatever you want, but Asperger's is just really a form of high intelligence. Technically it is a syndrome, but its not really necessary.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1087776


Yeah. Little Professors. Then they grow up and if not counseled, they develop Borderline. (the only difference between the two is "an irrational Fear of Abandonment."

Just to set y'all straight, they have recently done studies and noted the medula oblongata is actually smaller in Aspies than in normal folks. Glands in the brain are also smaller, the pitutary, the hypothalamus and in some cases the pineal gland. All of these effect memory, and many Aspies describe memory in still shots rather than motion pictures. They view themselves as the star in their own show, and usually have little compassion or even understanding for other's feelings/emotions/actions.

It is very real. The problem is SO MANY people have it, it's not getting much attention. The really funny thing is, everyone I've known with it has claimed some lineage to royalty in western europe. It's now on my list of questions when I think I'm dealing with one.

You've done a good job of repeating the Mainstream Medical Community's take on it. There are planty of crap parents out there. Aspies are TERRIBLE parents, and Asperger's is genetic, Ergo, we are both right. Deal with it.

The problem is, Aspies do very well in college and corporate culture, because the goals are defined and they are ALL ABOUT GOALS. So climb the ladder very well into upper middle management. They become successful financially, and when you go into a counselor, or doctor and describe what you are living with, they think you're the one who is nuts. The good news is, when you divorce, if you're patient, they will self sabotage. You have to wait, and you absolutely cannot go on the offensive. They will try to paint you in extremely bad light, after all, how could you have the nerve to leave their life. It may take a year or more to divorce, but be patient and you'll emerge vindicated and victorious.

Bitter much? I think you need to move on dear. Find a nice poor hippy into healing crystals or something.

I bet your ex-husband was never actually officially diagnosed with aspergers. He's more likely a psychopath or *shock/horror* a typical control freak alpha male type.

If he doesn't have a bonafide medical diagnosis, would you mind awfully not going around trying to tar and feather people with Aspergers. Thanks.
