The most autistic person I know walks around with his dick out if he isn't sternly corrected. He doesn't like it when people, even toddlers, don't wear shirts. He does have a thing for trains.

These 'doctors' make the laziest, dumbest diagnoses and think these shady rear end drugs are the answer to everything

These 'doctors' make the laziest, dumbest diagnoses and think these shady rear end drugs are the answer to everything Far too many people--professionals included--view Autism as a bi-polar spectrum of "high" and "low" when the truth is that it is a grouping of many symptoms in variable intensity. Y'know, a syndrome per the dictionary definition, and not a static set of common symptoms like say, Down Syndrome or Cerebral Palsy. That's why I wasn't diagnosed until much later in life-- I could interact, make eye contact, read social cues, shut up about my special interests, etc. My poo poo is much more related to sensory input and physical impairment. And Aspergers... God gently caress that guy. He made a box around high-functioners that perpetuates idiotic notions of ASD to this day. And even with the DSM-V changes loads of people are still whiny, lazy assholes because ASD requires critical reasoning to assess now, instead of an easy in-group/out-group.

a hole-y ghost posted:what prompted this? It's not like I wanted to be autistic. I started doing my homework and looking for evidence I wasn't autistic. Yet the deeper I dug the more questions autism answered as the roots of my struggles. SA was a big tip-off. Even then it took three years before it really processed emotionally, which sucked noodles. The formal diagnosis was more for record-keeping than anything else... Like if I'm at a job or with a new doctor or dealing with people on dead gay forums, I can point to the fact that I did due dilligence with professionals and didn't armchair diagnose my poo poo.

It's mostly clumsiness, general weakness, easily overwhelmed by multiple people, and poor real-time social processing. Also impaired executive function, albeit not as bad as some.

in college, another suspected burg and i would find ourselves walking down the hallway and if headed the same direction, would smash against one another in an attempt to dash the other person into the wall as we walked. it was good fun but in retrospect we bruised one another, a lot
