Studies have found very high rates of suicide in people with autism spectrum disorders...

Me too hang in there lass

anyone else her autistic with a bunch of other disability to?

How do we make ASD the new trendy cause like how transgender was in the past few years? I think if we bring more awareness and educate NT's on our condition maybe it could help us be more socially accepted like the trannies.

Fuck off

It makes it harder to get help

how? everyone hates you and doesn't help already

>schizophrenia/schizoaffective, lots of early death to suicide, other health problems from shitty side effects of antipsychs

technically speaking, there is such a low chance of me NOT committing suicide that I'm surprised that I've lived to 18
my only fear, thanks to schizoaffective delusions, is death

i know it's autism, too much of my life fits the criteria for spectrum and has nearly developed to full-blown schizoid at this point

Unironically autism speaks tried to change it. The APA decided against it because it would make other disorders seem worse

Nobody gives a single fuck. Autists are genetic errors with unacceptably low empathy

>low empathy
fuck you faggot
a lot of us are too empathic for our own good but don't know how to express it
we want to be nice because we actually care about people and because of that people take advantage of us so we learn to stop being nice and then people think we're going to murder them if we aren't constantly smiling at them, and then we're weird if we do
fuck you

this
i'm glad someone said it and put it in words

looks like you're part of the 40% AND MORE club now

I know exactly how you feel, I deal with that shit daily and to make matters worse I just graduated from college so now I have to find a fucking job. I've actually known of people with ASD that had kids but the relationship with their wife/gf colapses afterwards 100% of the time.

I wonder how many high functioning autists on Jow Forums are SPD (schizoid) as well.

Is the autistic way of thinking incompatible with a normie/neurotypical created world? Or are autistic thought patterns incompatible with life in general?

>desperately want to be nice to people and be a decent person
>people treat me with disgust and ignore me because I missed social cues / am generally awkward
>develop distaste for dealing with people, act defensively and avoidant whenever I meet new people now

fuck this shit I wish I could be nice but people would just call me creepy or something so I don't bother anymore. considering plan S because of this shit honestly.

>I wonder how many high functioning autists on Jow Forums are SPD (schizoid) as well.
idk how can i tell?

generally spergs seem to interact quite well and have a decent time when they actually manage to congregate in places like schools/hobby clubs/online. I've found non-neurotypical people place a much larger focus on what's being talked about and ideas than reality around them and eye contact/body language, whereas normies focus mainly on the social game and reality at large. if most of the human race was on the spectrum normies would have it just as shitty as we do I'm pretty sure, it's mostly the exclusion (socially and behaviorally) that causes our suffering.

holy shit read the wiki page at least
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder

same
and now i'm having severe depression on what to do
idk if i can be a neet and i don't think i can fuction in college or any job
idk what to do and nobody understands

i have some of those but i think it's just aspergers with a hatred toward society

you could probably pull off college, all you really need to do is show up and get passing grades, it's honestly a nice waste of a few years. the hard part is the whole job thing becuase you have to act like you give a fuck and deal with normalfags all day

Sperg here and I can confirm that

isn't no point in college unless i plan to get a job
school was hell since elementary so i dunno
also i'd need bux for bills until finished

so what should us autists be doing with our lives?

You are not and never will be an anime girl.

I don't have autism but I have ocd. I always end up thinking people I meet or work with don't like me. it's because knowing people on a more personal level involves hearing them talk shit about other people. every time I hear that from them I start to worry they say or just think stuff like that about me when I'm not around.
I don't want to spend my time around people who don't like me. I don't talk shit about coworkers so why do they? people make me sad sometimes

God dammit, I don't know if I'm autist or not, but this fits so damn well.

NO BULLY YUNYUN

>higher suicide rates
Its good to see natural selection at work

There's the words.

This is a good thread, bumping in hopes of musings on the nature of autism.

I will bump too then fren. Thread gonna die anyways, but it can survive a bit longer.

I hate it when other people talk bad about people behind their back. I am aware that I am a "weird" guy so I also assume they talk bad about me behind my back. They are not worth your time.

Trying our best to make the most out of this life, even when no one really likes us.

I think the average life span was like 35 or something

this
sitting home all day getting high and shitposting sure beats trying to fumble your way into a decent social life
autists are not meant for "normal" society
it would be neat to have society by autists for autists, but the problem is how to standardize anything because everyone's autistic needs vary drastically
sorry if tl;dr i'm high and have a lot of ideas

>Trying our best to make the most out of this life, even when no one really likes us.
and how do we do that?
the only think i enjoy is anime Jow Forums and vidya

its 50, Mostly suicide but also stress related heart problems.

I would be interested but I already see two big problems. 1) not enough Aspie women to go around 2) a caste system is likely to form with the most functional being on top of the ladder.

Then do anime Jow Forums vidya as much as you can but also try new things every once in a while in case you find something new you like

I've gotta disagree. I've been diagnosed with mild autism and I'm glad I have it. It's part of what makes me who I am and not normie scum. A lot of incredibly successful people are known or suspected to have it as well. I like to think of it like a really unconventional RPG build. You get certain rare buffs but have to take debuffs in other areas as a cost.

you answered your own question my ningen

there's nothing new i like besides sleeping and weapons
i don't understand

Sure I do fine in school especially if the topic interests me and I can do a normal job if left to my own devices. But humans are social creatures and if I am incapable to have my social needs met because I operate on a different social frequency than NTs than dispute my accomplishments and interests I am still extremely lonely and empty on the inside.

I almost cried reading it, I fit almost all of it.

are you going to go get diagnosed?

what would be the purpose?

To confirm you have SPD so you can get therapy for it.

I don't think I could stomach it It's hard to describe how strong and visceral the defensive compulsion actually is. I want to be known more than anything else but simultaneously I feel like I'd rather die than confide in anyone irl.

>so you can get therapy for it

how i feel on this issue directly varies with how much exposure ive had to other people and how much time has elapsed. When I am alone I feel perfectly content and even happy. The longer I am able to spend in isolation, the better my mood and overall outlook is. However if I have to interact with people in social settings, it makes me want to kill myself. It only takes a few seconds of being around others to serve as an acute and painful reminder that I am dysfunctional. Even basic things like grocery shopping, getting a haircut, buying food from a restaurant, or some stranger wanting to ask me a question or make small talk with me cause me immense difficulty and stress. I read many people say its easier to cope with as they got older, but the reverse has been true for me. The older I get the worst my social skills have gotten. Its gotten to the point where I just avoid people 100% if possible. When i go out I dont even look towards other people or look in their general direction. I feel like my every move is under so much more scrutiny because I guess im so abnormal. My gaze alone seems extremely offensive to normal people.

I love my autistic bf, but I get so sad seeing him be rejected and ignored in social situations. I try to redirect conversations to save him, and talk to him later about things he said that were gauche. I get scared about what will happen to him if we break up.

In all seriousness user, stop being a tranny. It will only make your life worse

>I try to redirect conversations to save him, and talk to him later about things he said that were gauche.
God I can really use someone like you. Are you an NT?

You'll have to accept the consequences of your actions. Just as he accepts his. At least he won't have to live with it like you.

yeah...

I'm in this situation because my my dad is autistic and my mom is caring for him forever, and I guess I have autist-caring genes. I see why NTs avoid autists because it can be very tiring, but at least now bf will believe he can be loved?

mostly I guess, but I was raised by an autistic father and so I can understand all the weaknesses and needs of this type of person.

He must be a lucky guy to an NT who loves and understands him. I am not totally comfortable with the idea of dating someone not on the spectrum because I am scared I will be a burden/embarrassment for them.

probably for the best honestly. if somebody was uncomfortable around you, you might not even be able to tell.

in my situation I had to convince the guy I liked that I was interested, and he wouldn't let himself accept it for a long time. it's not the norm for sure.

it's a shame that the average person's number 1 priority seems to be avoiding awkwardness, shame, and other social bullshit. being pack animals is a waste of all of our time

god i wish that where me
ghjk

Who is Yunyun?

fukn hell. what a nutty disorder

You realize being autistic makes you more likely to troon out? You're not special, you just have an autistic perception of what "gender" is and because of your disorder, you've othered yourself from identifying with the way you were born.

>it's a shame that the average person's number 1 priority seems to be avoiding awkwardness, shame, and other social bullshit. being pack animals is a waste of all of our time
Couldn't agree more. Anyway I feel a lot better about my self knowing that there is people like you out in the world who understands the autists plight and helps.

>when the heart palpations hit
Explains why my granddad died at 60

It really is. On top of the inability to socialize properly (which already makes like difficult), you have these intense obsessions that make you really fucking annoying to boot.

Hey Chris, when will new Sonichu issue come out?

>non-neurotypical people place a much larger focus on what's being talked about and ideas than reality around them and eye contact/body language, whereas normies focus mainly on the social game and reality at large
definitely one of the best traits of autists.
it's also the best part of using Jow Forums. pure discussion without any distractions.

makes me think a society of autists would really be more peaceful and enlightened, but i don't think it would work in person.

SJWs are normies who work in terms of gaining social brownie points. I think there are only certain groups they care to suck up to. My view is that autism IS a disorder, in that it makes life harder and can even cripple you, but it also provides special abilities and advantages and is therefore not in the same category as other disabilities.

>whereas normies focus mainly on the social game and reality at large
I never really thought that NTs socialize for the sake of socializing.

isn't that what facebook is

probably the most disgusting thing i have read today, holy fuck you and your shitty self

>I read many people say its easier to cope with as they got older
Cope is the key word here.
If anything age has made me go from wishing I could be around the NTs to just fucking loathing them all, even the friendly ones.

However, what I can do now after a lot of practice is put on an act.
Sort of an impression of a NT.

Goes like this:
Dumb grin. Imagine someone that is being amused by Marmaduke comics in the newspaper.
Now make that face yourself.
Ask people, "Hey, how ya doin?" or "What's up?".
Even though you really don't care and they don't want to tell you. NTs love those words.
Make eye contact or if you're like me and dread looking into the pupils of another human, imagine something in their brain about two inches behind their eyes and look at that.

They will never fully accept you. Especially if you talk beyond a few sentences, they will immediately know something is off.
I've been able to work shitty jobs with my impression and not be totally hated.
Still looking for a job where I can be alone that isn't guarding something at 3 in the morning.

The syndrome formerly known as Asperger? Wtf

women literally cannot be genetic dead ends
even the fattest, sluttiest , uliest cunt can get a husband with ease

For the love of god please don't fucking make accepting autism a thing. This disease is an abomination to evolution and humanity, we deserve death for having the audacity to continue living. The sooner we're all dead and gone will our cursed genes halt their spread. This fucking disease isn't fair. I just want to be normal.

this is something that bothers me greatly

user. The autism makes it difficult to cope with all the other things that are wrong with me. Not sure if im over exaggerating, or if my shit really is as significant as it feels. im both mentally and physically afflicted. Whats your malfunction? aside from the autism i mean.

>people think we're going to murder them if we aren't constantly smiling at them
Im constantly smiling to mediate peoples perception of me. But recently i stopped smiling all the time, because id rather people think im just ambivalent.

im not schizoid, but i have schizotypal. Im trying to get rediagnosed because im certain i have schizoaffective. It'd be treated the same i guess, but im trying to get those neetbux so a more accurate diagnosis would be good.

Nothing. Staying away from people. staying inside the house. and rotting away. Thats what i do.

Fuck this life

Never had any friends or something like that to maintain though the years and now it seems I'm gonna die in my 50s..
