How extreme is it? It couldn't be too bad if you didn't even know.

Pin all of your hopes on technology, because no woman will ever feel anything other than disgust towards you.

was diagnosed with ADHD at 2 but they said i could have asperges when i turned 16 and for the past two and a half years i've been going through tests and shit (Britbong so mental health support is beyond terrible)

painfully accurate. Had a girl today say I was a weird nerdy loser at college when i asked how her day was going

In the most original way possible

What drugs did you got OP, like is it even worth going public?

on a few anxiety and anti-depressant drugs to "help" me be able to socialize

Here is one way to think about it. I'm an old dude and back in my day there were no ADHD or Autism or Aspergers kids. There were the out and out retards and then there were the weird kids. I was one of the weird kids though at the time I was so unaware that I didn't even know it. The point I'm trying to make is that I don't think they are doing anyone any favors diagnosing them with these problems. Not only are you labeled with this stigma on your health record but worse you may internalize it and believe it. It could become self limiting. I think the old days of just being thought of as the weird guy was much better. You could always reinvent yourself or grow out of it.

I think that the diagnosis has already fucked up my life- got fired from my part time job because of it and no one will hire me. wish i could undo the diagnosis so at least then i'd have a chance at a normal life

i know it's for people to say this, but take it from a fellow aspie

It's not a disability. Don't let it get you down. Doing that will just make you unhappy.

feels like one- half the shit i wanted to do with my life i can't now. And what girl would ever want a weird autistic guy when they could have a normal one who isn't fucked up

I mean particularly wich ones nigger, its obvious what you're saying

fluoxetine and propranolol

why should you let a diagnosis stop you from doing what you want to in life?
If your job fired you like you said, you can sue for discrimination

and if you become successful in life, you can write an autobiography and become a new york times bestseller

that'd be the dream- can't write for shit though and yeah ill file a claim

36y oldfag here, i totally agree!

look man whatever happens you're just you. Do what you want and fuck everyone else. So you have aspergers, people can either accept it or go fuck themselves. Just be brutally honest and you'll attract the right people. If someone is full of shit, tell them they're full of shit and don't talk to them again.

my college mates have been really supportive about it and one girl in my law class even hugged me for it but i still feel like other people think less of me for it. I don't know if its just anxiety but still. How can I stop giving a shit what people think? because i really want to know as it'd help me a lot

I'm 99% sure I'm an aspie but I'm not diagnosed. How do I get an official diagnosis as it's ruining my life and I can't take it anymore.

I am getting tested this month, user. What did they ask you in the assessment? I'm scared to go :(

assesment answers mean nothing- they look at your face and shit and figure it out by twitches and stuff like that

go to your local GP

surely the answers have to account for something, no? They have to write a report and show how you match the DSM-5 criteria based on what I have read online
Also did you get tested in the UK (I will be too)? Your mention of a local GP makes me think so.

Apply for neetbux. You can probably get at least a little. I'm from the United States, and I think I have asperger's, so that's my plan. I'm just working up the nerve to talk to a psychologist. I don't know how different things are in Englistan, though.

yeah im a britfag- in the uk (can't speak for USA) the answers don't matter at all. when you do the assessment there will be a person watching your face for reactions and a guy asking questions to purposely make you uncomfortable so that you'll pull the faces if you have Autism

its called PIP over here and im applying this weekend with my mum

that seems fucked up

the whole thing is- it fucks your life up and the only benefit is the PIP money

Nice. At least you have that going for you. Also, how did the diagnosis process go? What did they do? I'm scared that I'll somehow mess it up, and I'm really nervous.

are you American? because if so I have no idea probably similar to how they do it here by asking you uncomfortable questions and recording your responses

thanks for the responses user, thankfully I'll have my mum with me as my assessment so if it's too much she'll be there to help.
i was told they'd take me alone for a bit but I have the option to ask for my mum to be there
i hope you get approved for PIP, I've heard it's hell :(

Yeah, I'm American. I'm hoping the process isn't too different from what you described. Any American spergs here to describe what the diagnosis process is like?

thank you man, i hope it goes well for you too and that you get it as well (PIP). It's better to not have a parent as it'll make your reacts more extreme so you'll get a more accurate diagnosis. Also after the assessment it takes up too 6 months for a mailed diagnosis (got mine in 4)

A diagnosis doesn't change who you are, you are the same person you where yesterday.
Asperger is not an illness, it makes only certain things more difficult.
The big downside is, our entire society is made with a different brain in mind.
There are some plus sides. Search for yours.
Without us, those idiots would still be in the stone age.

Important: beware of self-pity, it makes you weak, and learn about social skills, it's difficult but rewarding.
