Asperger and Autism, what are your thoughts with people who have it?

@WeedZ it's 100% possible to have an IQ over 200. The person with the highest IQ in the world has an IQ of 238, I believe. It's rare, obviously, but not impossible. Also, Einstiens IQ was 162, and Hawking's IQ is uncertain, actually. There are also different types of IQ tests than were in the past, ergo, depending on the test, my IQ could be much lower than Einstein's or Hawking's. Einstein in truth wasn't that intelligent, simply unorthodox. This is why I don't like to share my IQ. People like you call me out as a liar, and I had quite of being falsely accused of such growing up, where my little sister was perfect in the eyes of my parents, and all she had to do to avoid being in trouble was simply point her finger at me. More times than I care to admit, things I bought with my own money were taken from me as punishment and given to my sister. My own Christmas presents were oven given to her with a "sorry, we labeled that one wrong, this one's yours not his. And this one. And this one. " so before you judge someone, do your research first. Otherwise you look like an idiot. @Yil I can understand where you're coming from with this. It seems to be for personal reasons, so I shan't pry into them. I told my wife just yesterday that if she wants children she's gonna have to act quickly while I'm still "on the fence" as it were. I'll be blind within the year, and when that happens, I'm not having any. I don't think I could bear having children after that, never being able to even once see their faces, nor see them smile, or grow up. I'd want my children to go through what I did, save for the bits with my parents. My school life wasn't unnecessarily difficult, and I never had many friends. Today, I can't say that I have even a single friend, except for my wife, and in all honesty, I don't mind. Though this is coming from someone who spent the majority of their life alone, so I'm not dependent or trusting of other people very much. Though in truth, I suppose I'd rather my children just live a life that makes them happy. It isn't what I want them to have in life, it's what they want. If they can be happy, in anything they decide to do, that's enough for me. It isn't all lollipops an rainbows of course, that's why it is a parents job to teach and to guide rather than decide. Teach them enough so as to enable them to make wise decisions, guide them away from a life lived in suffering and torment, and most importantly, to teach them to learn from their mistakes. I have had to do everything on my own. Including discerning the difference between right and wrong; my parents stopped giving a damn once my sister was born. Isolation is not a happy life for a child. And believe me, I know. Perhaps they never wanted me; perhaps my sister was "better" because she had no autism. I don't know, or care. I'll never know, considering my parents are dead now, and wile I'd like to say it serves them right, that isn't proper of me, and I don't care if they're alive or dead in the first place. It sounds cold, I know, but it isn't. thinking about it, there are quite a few conundrums in life. For example; how does one differentiate between reality and dreams? Is it sleep, and how can tell you tell if you're asleep at this very moment or not? You could be in a coma right now, dreaming, and you'd never know it. Which makes reality difficult, if not impossible, to define. There are a lot if things like that, I find. I'd much rather be a wise fool than be a reckless jarhead anyway. Leave that for the soldiers who partake in the utter uselessness of war.

@Yil it may be pointless arguing with... Certain people on these forums. I'd recommend not doing so. If you ever feel that arguing with people over an opinion is getting tiresome, just ignore them. an opinion is like a set of lungs. Everyone has them and they all suck. at least in other peoples minds. Don't let that stop you. Do what YOU want to do, be what YOU want to be. Decide what YOU want to decide. When it comes down to it, the only people that matter are yourself and those you allow to matter. for example, if you'd like for me to shut up with my philosophical nonsense and leave this thread, say the word, and I shall do so. It's that easy. All up to you of course.

@Darthlink9 The truth is sometimes I can get a bit stupid too, swearing and making random posts. But somewhere there is a glimpse decency.

I have been betrayed too many times, perhaps my nature. And it's not really easy to have faith in anything anymore.

I was the only child in the family due to birth control and then my cousins get the attention my father can spare, yet I was lucky. There is a good while we are truly desperate. I can hardly get into a community college when I was forced to take some medication (Asperger can behave similar to ADHD. I took those for an entire year) but I have formal university education right now. My self esteem, my sanity, all gone. Right now I was trying to recollect what I once was, perhaps something better, or I am literally chasing ghosts.

Does it even matter what is reality and what is dream? to personal belief they are not that different. But if I could be happy in that dream, albeit laughable, I am happy that way. Or maybe I should be more self-centred, push that dream and ignore the pleases of everyone else. And I must ask if what I am to do hold justification, or the dream of a fool.

Or there is something that binds me here I do not wish to leave. Or I have persuaded myself too much.

I was so desperate for attention that while back and perhaps still now, that I would reject myself entirely. Perhaps I should let everyone else have their way and choose to be left alone. But then, I am insecure and fear driven.

The best and worst thing about reality is that you never see all of it at the same time.

@Yil I too am very insecure. But I decided that enough was enough, and I allowed my insecurity to become my strength. Relying on others in of itself is not a bad thing; Far from it! But relying on oneself is not necessarily a good thing either. every time you fall, it's important to stand back up, and stand taller than before. One should never be discouraged; if everything in life was easy, where would the human race be? simple. we'd be extinct. The fact is that there are challenges we must face and we can't always face them alone, that's why it's important to rely on others, and if you can trust but a single person besides yourself, then you've already got all the tools you need to succeed. For me, it's my wife, because even though I'll be blind soon, she still has my back. In general, don't let life get you down. statistics show that the more intelligent a person is, the more anxiety and depression they suffer from. I myself have never been to a university, or anything of the like. I've never had the funds and I don't see much point in a scrap of paper telling me and others alike that I spent truckloads of money and wasted years of my life on something I don't really need. or least, that's my stance on things. I've made a lot of mistakes, certainly too many to count. I often find myself reminiscing and reflecting, wising I could go back and change them. Sadly, I can't do so. Ha, I remember when I was just a bit younger, my goal in life was to be emperor of earth. That's a horrible dream to have, huh? hahaha. Now on the other hand, I don't have a goal in life. Ironic, isn't it? I always told myself "I'll figure out later" and never took into account that I am a professional procrastinator. not really sure what I was trying to say here myself, other than I know where you're coming from. I guess... don't let any one thing about you define who you are. Let your actions do that. and your motives.

@Darthlink9 My main motive for university right now is to get the proper knowledge to push my agenda further. Some 'research' would also require experimentation not yet done or publicly available. My dream involves building a small town in NT, Canada completely separated from the rest of the world. It will require some of the best tech to survive there, but unlike deserts there are good amount of snow so once I set up the power source everything else will fall into place. Perhaps I could try things too different for this world. But at the same time I have seen too much horror of this world, and the corruption, well, let's say I am not even sure how to describe it anymore, or if generally matches.
I am sorry to hear about those, but it's good your wife have support for you. I am not even sure about my sexuality, or perhaps it was desperation that. And right now I start to blame my gender.
I am no less a procrastinator. And a bit too cocky too. Maybe it's best that we just blend in cause many will hold objection to our dreams. Perhaps if everyone is really smart then everyone will be happy, but we don't truly know.

@Yil Ha! I can certainly understand where you're coming from, friend. That I can. More than once in my lifetime I've considering falling off the grid and fading into the shadows like an old boot. I often wonder if it's the people who are shunned who get the worst of the world, or the people doing the shunning. The shunned aren't as blind to the truth of the world as others. But on the other hand, the shunners don't see the truth of the world, or those who live in it. is it worse to know the truth, or to not know? That there, that's the real question.

@Darthlink9 People have alway wanted the truth, let that be corrupted, or to break their shell to regret it. The thing about fate is that only ignorance can pass it, or perhaps innocence, or if the two have distinction. Perhaps some need to soak, but corruption is one to multiply.
Then maybe death can do all of us a favour. Yet I do not feel compiled to end here.

@Yil don't take this the wrong way, but I never understand what the hell you're saying.

@WeedZ My linguistic are below average. Also everything here is about implication.
@king_leo The only thing keeping me from genocide is morality, so don't push it. Think about it, a world where everyone is really smart and really happy, and all the things that need to go are masculine guys who thinks dominance is the only thing that matters and women who adopted the idea to obey that.

@Yil the fight for dominance is what fuels progress. If we were a like-minded and peaceful race, our evolution would halt and weaken us.

@WeedZ Then there is no point we remain on this planet. And I will see to that.

Of course there's no reason for us to exist. We are an insignificant biological form on a random ball floating through a void. But, we are the only self aware creatures in all of known existence, so our survival is the only thing that matters. Duality homie.

@WeedZ Fair enough, I guess what I am about to do doesn't upset any natural balance. Maybe causing biological incompatibility is the right way to go, or straight up kill them all so some of us can proceed with our lives.

I have Aspergers, but they completely got rid of the terms "Aspergers" and "Autism", and now they just say "On the Spectrum", but it's the same thing. I was diagnosed when I was 8, the same time I was diagnosed with anxiety and chronic depression. I am 18 now and studying to be a psychologist.

OUT OF FOCUS
eevee stays cute

@Yil
YOU ALREADY DISTURBED THE NATURAL BALANCE
XD

@Zyteus Good for you. Can they seriously group everyone together with "Autism Spectrum"? There are many distinction and further classification is required to deal with psychological problems.

Autism... something I was cursed with since I was born... it felt like a curse because I would tear up when angered which made me look soft despite now being a 173 pound, 5.9" and, 18 years old but, I learned in first grade that It wasn't a curse because I placed my soft heart into art and technology and it made me happy... still does to this day... but, that doesn't mean it isn't still a problem... but, I still feel forgiveness for the people that live under the same burden and the people here who say its a mental disorder... they are right... but, its something that we have to accept... not something we should hate...

@DarkRiolu264
don't make me cry plz

I don't judge them at all. I love them just for who they are and what they are. We are all different and we are all specials. And we are all family.

@DarkRiolu264
My most depressing time was in high school. Cause I am an asperger it was a lot harder to spot and considering the medical back then. I have even beat up my mom for letting me take those pills (surpress emotion, lower brain activity, my grades drop to somewhere that can barely get me into community college) but I know she is trying to help. There is only one single doctor in an entire privately hospital that have heard of asperger.
It's a problem, but if people cannot learn to appreciate for diferences, they will have thier lesson one day.
