Autism

Asperger's and PDD-NOS still exist in countries that don't use the DSM-V.

Level 1 here. How do I level up? What monsters did you guys train on?

How cani request a complete ip perma ban from Jow Forums? Im a mod sees this, plz help. Where can i post this

Videogames. Singleplayer. Whatever you do in your most formative age is what your art will look like. Master a craft with your autism. Theres a thousand different mediums of art for a reason

From the op image I'm assuming op wants actual autistics to post here so he can mock them for fun

I'm diagnosed with autism, non verbal too. I felt a weird feeling of being unsafe in this thread.

I have "Autism Spectrum Disorder"

It's Asperger's.

Just got out of the looney bin a few days ago.

No I have diagnosed autism too. Just want to know how many of us there are

Dxed autist with a normal and successful brother here
My older brother got put into a program for alcoholics despite being unconditionally loved and valuable.

Sorry for the blog post, you mentioning the psych ward reminds me that even successful people can be "punished"
(I don't hate my big bro, it happened we live in the same house)

Image is wrong, you know other people decide what happens? We talk to people everyday. I am judged. I have no filter so I come off as annoying and a pest

Not that it really matters desu, I'll never learn how to effortlessly talk to people

Autistic people can use the internet too.

user I knew what you meant but it sounded weird
I guess the other user think diagnosed autistics would be stopped from living their own life, including using the internet on their own and you assumed he thought the same too.

Autistic people can use the internet too just Felt off for me, I guess "diagnosed autistic people can be self aware and tell others on their own" sounds better
Sorry for analyzing, I just wanted to understand t

I am legit very autistic, youre fine

hello frens, am ASD (assburger) here.
pls explain why you were in and for how long and what it was like and what will happen next pls
t. autist strongly considering checking in

They didn't give me a power level. I want a sperg power level now. I did get a functioning rating of 55/100, so there's that.

Not the person you are replying too, but also diagnosed proffessionally with the 'tism. Psychwards are boring as fuck, institutions are terrible or so-so.

Okay. Hi. I do not know what to say

how can i know if i have/ don't have autism for sure, I've done tests and read up alot and i might have it but I want to know for sure before I try therapy/psychiatrist. Is there someone online who i can send what i think are signs and they will tell me i have autism

PDD-NOSfag here

I found a center that specializes in autism in adults, went for an intake appointment and have a 4hr+ evaluation set up for next month. It's really the only sure way to know, I'm in the same boat, 99% sure but also not sure. At least if you go you can be sure

h-hi
i have spergers

I am afraid that i am not anwsering test questions correctly or not clearly understanding what is autism sign and what is normal

like I have no idea how to anwser "If I try to imagine something, I find it very easy to create a picture in my mind."

also i thought that my habit of having conversations in my mind with people i know and in result hating/liking them more might have been sign of autism but then i heard Joe Rogan say that he used to do that so now idk

yo boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
ori

Diagnosed atypical autism spectrum disorder with catatonic traits in 2004 when I was a child as I wasn't speaking. I had to go through many years of speech and occupational therapy and I have to regularly see a psychiatrist. I'm about to get discharged and heading to uni in 2 days so, feels good I guess.

Brother, i know the path. Youre not gonna hear this alot, but im proud of you

Aspie checking in.

its Autism but Minor Autism.

I'm proud of you, I'm professionally diagnosed with autism and I'm deeply afraid of other people and never think of anyone as a good friend, and I'm defined by my autism.. hahaha.. at least its validating since I am autistic... but still deeply disturbing...
G-good luck at least..

After talking with a lot of people here and IRL with "Autism" I have come to realize that I am not high functioning, rather mid functioning. Someday I hope to find another autist with the problems I have but the same communication skills.

T-thank you anons..

I'm fucked.

Literally have three different disorders (all professionally diagnosed, I'm not a dumbass). I was just diagnosed with another one today.

>Autism Spectrum Disorder
High functioning and IQ, actually the least of my worries
>Generalized anxiety disorder
Shitty but medication works pretty well for me
>Ultra-rapid cycling/ultradian bipolar type II disorder
Diagnosed with this today, after being treated as having just "normal" Major Depressive Disorder for a long time. I have periods of hypomanic highs where I feel unstoppable, followed by suicidal lows. My mood swings either over a couple of days and sometimes multiple times a day. Literally this morning I was suicidal and now in the afternoon I feel euphoric and unstoppable.

My family has a history of mental illness (we're Jewish) and there's family members that have had psychotic breaks and live on the street because we don't know where they are. This is what scares me the most, because I'm really afraid that I'll have some sort of psychotic break and ruin my life more than I already have.

Just had to rant. I don't even care if people read this or not I'm just having a positive mood swing right now and I'm feeling productive.

Do you like, never talk or do you just not talk much?

Terry got schizo at 26. Hope you're past that age

I can talk "better" online, I'm deeply afraid of people IRL. People define by my autism and say I'm not capable of sex.. but the real reason is..
because I deeply hate my own body and I can only think of sex as doing bad instead of good.
I stay quiet since people will assume its bait a troll, or a roleplayer, so I keep my non-funny trauma a secret, since its deeply rooted

Oh my bad. I forgot to specify.
My deep fear of my own body and my deep fear of sex is unnatural and not cute and funny, but luckily enough other people assume its shallow and I'm safe to live another day, whew

I'm much younger

Then I hope it doesn't develop out of nowhere

I can somewhat relate. I'm the same guy who posted . Although I doubt my anxiety is anywhere near as severe as yours. I hope you can get better user.

How do you deal with being non-verbal? Do you have a job with accomodations or do you go to school that can accomodate? I'd imagine it would be very hard.

Except I already just got diagnosed with bipolar. It's really fucking scary, because I pretty much already have symptoms of schizo, hypomanic episodes (which are actually pretty great but I have to hope they don't lead to anything extreme like hallucinations or delusions) and major depressive episodes.

To add, I also had a fear of sex and masturbation for a little while. I just sort of got past it. I'm sure that's no help to you but I just thought I'd mention it.

i have been diagnosed with autism :(

T-thank you for the validation....
I have "paranoid" hypothetical situations I get afraid of, but they're actually realistic, since I'm diagnosed autistic, I'm worried my own parents will make me give up my newborn baby [a hypothetical]
[If this makes sense I mean, since I have dxed autism I have no freedom on my own and I'm at the bottom of the social ladder, people can do anything they want to me and people will let them do it and its funny entertainment to them]

Oh that's sweet to hear, that someone else can enjoy it unconditionally. I'll always be afraid of my own body forever

I was diagnosed with Asperger's in the 90s. I don't know why these autists diagnosed after the 2010s are so insecure. They're desperate to be normies and see normies as their peers. Why?

Wait, you can become schizo that "late" still? Fucking hell. Each few years it seems I get worse and the mental illness keep stacking up. Wouldn't surprise me if I ended up going schizo, I'm only almost 21 now.

yes it's scary. I hope it doesn't happen to me

i was diagnosed at 15 with autism
mid to low functioning.

Don't smoke weed
>this comment is actually original and important

schizophrenia typically manifests in adults and only very rarely in kids.

speaking of drugs and schizo, i've done weed but I've always wanted to do lsd and shrooms. now i feel fucking terrified of that because my recent diagnosis and i have a family member who went schizo after taking lsd.

>tfw never going to have a life-changing spiritual psychedelic experience

Attached: sad2.png (658x662, 59K)

i am schizo and did shrooms and it wasn't life changing. luckily i did not get more schizo.

i've done magic truffles, which is nowhere near shrooms, but still pretty cool. you could try that, i heard the chances of getting permanent shit from those are practically nill.
i also want to do LSD, probably will soon, i don't really care that much about going schizo because i'll off myself in a couple of years anyways

Schizoid checking in, close enough right?

Not really, but welcome either way. We've all been dealt shit cards in this life.

I say Asperger's because it's what the school diagnosed me with. Later on professionals said I had other things instead and I wasn't Autistic.

I hear that.
Have you had any success with any Medications?
I'm to see my doctor tomorrow and want relief from this anxiety and insomnia that hounds me.

Most of these meds they push on you, its like chemical castration.

I can't really take any meds for my autismo, but I tried about 6 for my chronic depression. None of them did jackshit, and the last one only made me feel worse, so I quit (not too long ago).
Meds can definitely help, though, but doesn't seem like they're for me.
I also have insomnia (currently still up at 3:30), but I think that's mostly due to the depression and constant thoughts running through my head.
Good luck, hope you actually have positive effects with meds.

I also had insomnia. You should tell your psychiatrist if you haven't, it can be a sign of bipolar, not just depression

Me and I hate it

Same here, user. I actually have moderate autism, too. ("Level 2 ASD", as they say it.)
It's very hard sometimes. I dont mean to complain either but most people my gender aren't autistic. (as you know there is a gender divide) and it's sad to me because I really want female friends. It's just all messed up, and my dad is even autistic too. That's why I vow to never have kids.
Do you also have eye contact problems very badly? My worst thing personally is I rock back and forth often when I am very happy watching my favorite anime and my parents shame me for it. But I can't control, and that's why that's so sad.

I have a feeling I wouldn't be diagnosed with Autism, but maybe Add/ADHD. Although on the RAADS score I scored a 165 and 31 on the other test and the EQ test I also showed the same signs. I'm scheduled to take an audio processing test, which could figure out if I have any issues. People with Asperger's (ASD now) tend to have some sort of audio processing issue.

I am also a girl, woah! A lot of my issues are sensory, I seem more sensetive than most aspies. There's very few foods I will eat and I hate taking showers because the feeling of my wet hair and the soap drives me insane. I also have very poor fine motor skills, I still cannot tie my own shoes. I also used to rock back and fourth, mostly when I was in a room with a lot of people.

Me. I'm about as functional as a person can be while still being an autist, though. I can maintain eye contact with minor conscious effort and can sound normal in most (By which I mean 60%, no more) social situations. Still no irl friends but I can entertain people in person, though being reasonable-looking and 190cm probably helps there. I do have an EQ in the single digits though.

>I don't know the order of the months of the year because i was a shitty kid in elementary school and now i'm too embarassed to learn them.

>I also learned how to read an analog clock last year.

>takes me 10 minutes to tie my shoes.

that being said, most of my issues are just emotional () and even though I currently have no friends, all of my friends in the past have been normal people.

>My worst thing personally is I rock back and forth often when I am very happy watching my favorite anime and my parents shame me for it.
I pace back and forth around my room in excitement even when I just post a new thread

Asperger's and ADHD here.
>tfw too autistic to enjoy shallow hobbies and too ADHD to hold deep hobbies for long

Same situation here. It fucking sucks. Everything is either way too boring to have fun with or too complex to grasp.

Ya'll should read a dictionary or get learnt by the rules of English. Make new words (to help distinguish the changes of the DSM-V) since guys can't do that. This sounds backwards if you know the changes from 4 to 5, but it's worth it in the end. Here's a good start: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABAA_receptor

Hi, I recently read a schizoid autobiography and it was very interesting, very different from autism but related to his inability to connect to others, his socially isolated interests, and his escapist fantasies. I think schizoids and autistics would get along well in a professional environment, schizoids are easily stressed by social demands and autists tend to be logical and low drama.

It's possible i am manic depressive.
I have the worst Akathisia and pace back and forth an around in circles for hours sometimes.

>get learnt by the rules of English

It's very troubling, i rely on my family for everything and i have no friends.

I used to be pretty close to my cousin, but as time passed and my symptoms became more severe i began sabotaging my only friendship.

You're correct i think in believing Schizoids and autists would get along, there is a ton of overlap within the two disorders.

I'm the same, I rely on my family except I have one close online friend. That's the big difference I find between Schizoid and Autism, schizoids fear emotional connections and shut people off purposely, autistics are socially inept and irritable so they'll rather have trouble forming friendships and draw away from ones that are too bothersome. I don't think schizoids and autistics would usually be friends for this reason, but they wouldn't cause each other distress like normies would.

Assburger reporting in

been diagnosed with learning disability(good with numbers not with english;like poem/story telling, also socializing)
shortly later in late 90's get diagnosed with aspergers, was a pretty rare thing in that day an age, get into some group to try to get me to learn how to socialize, didnt work at all, still cant find openings in conversations unless i want to blurt out/interrupt someone else aboot to talk(so i dont talk)
2-3 years back get re-diagnosed and no longer aspergers, instead high functioning autist

i could have grown up pretty normal and have social skills if:
wasnt born to a 16 yr old mom
had a dad
didnt move every 4-5 years

>good with numbers not with english;
I have something similar. I'm like 99th percentile when it comes to English but I suck at math. I can barely add single digit numbers in my head.

The weirdest part is that I'm a programmer despite that.

i was good at math in school that i wouldn't write out how i got my answers even tho they were right

one time i did the teacher complained that i didn't do it the way she taught even tho i still had the right answers

had one of those inkblot tests and the lady got so mad/flustered that i saw and evil bunny in one
she asked me numerous times if thats really what i saw
just made me realize inkblot tests mean fuck all if they expect a "right" answer

Reporting. I turned 25 last week, my life has gone no where, and I suspect the niblings are the only reason I haven't offed myself.

Got thrown in there for a week when I tried to off myself, surprised they didn't keep me in longer.

how long ago did you have an inkblot test? I thought those were considered inaccurate now.

it was around the late 90's when i was diagnosed with aspergers

im late 30's now

i got psychosis but i aint autistic

I'm logical and high drama. What do I have? I can and will argue until the other person stops being stupid.

Still autistic probably if that's what you were diagnosed with. Some autists are laid back and logical, but there's also the other end of the spectrum that's pedantic and will pepper spray you if you say the color of Sonic's arms aren't such a big deal.

I was also dxed around the same time. Why do people diagnosed in the 2010s seem so much more insecure compared to those dxed in the 90s? It's like they want to become the perfect normie.

Do females autistic?
I've been observing female behaviour and I've been looking for autistic females, these are the only ones I've found who seem legit:
low-functioning: youtube.com/watch?v=NtLWZXw_Ed4
high-functioning: youtube.com/watch?v=iAUWCx0SIUs
I want to eventually meet a mid-functioning autistic female, middle of the spectrum is supreme as high func is too normal, low func is borderline retarded.

And yes, I am autistic too

>And yes, I am autistic too
I could already tell before I reached the end of your post.
