Aspergers thread

I should probably make some more creative names for these threads..
Same drill, I want to keep these threads comfy.
Share your experiences with aspergers, if you knew someone with it, you get the point.

how do you know that you have aspergers

Depends, mostly. Good telltale signs are low emotional intelligence, poor social skills, not being able to judge people's mood, talking forever about something without realising the person's bored, autistically obsessing over a particular subject, etc.
Best way to know is to get tested desu.

Okay thanks anone

You're welcome fren. Want to stay for a while?

I don't think I have asperger

Ever since studying probiotics and gut flora, I've found groundbreaking research on how our minds are heavily affected by our gut biome.

There's a good chance that doses of anti-biotics given to young children causes or increased autistic symptoms. But don't believe me, research for yourself. This video gives a good outline.

The crazy thing is, you can change the levels of serotonin, dopamine, etc in your brain through your gut, it's insane. I'm looking into buying all sorts and testing their effects now.

You don't have to have it to stay here, that's just the main topic of the thread, but it's mostly just comfy talk.

Going to give this a watch, looks interesting.

Are you a scientist? What research have you done and found? I'm curious

>recently threw a fit and ditched everyone i know from school because i cant get bad thoughts of them despising me and me pummeling them out of my head
>did it in such a way that i cant go back to that hell, and have to push myself to make friends on the way through college
>3 people in my course all middle aged women, 2 single mothers, teacher is also middle aged
>resorting to r9k for conversation now, found someone i like chatting with already

to top it all off
>grasshoppers to me say that whatever suspicions you have about something kinda big in your life
>they were popping into my house everyday for a week before i cut them off, and stopped once i made the choice

follow your gut aspies, everything will turn out okay

Aspies are the best imo. Ive made so many friends that are aspies and theyve always been really good to me. Much better than the normies imo.

I had a girlfriend who has aspergers. She told me that when she was 12 and 13 she would hiss at classmates when they'd try to touch her stuff.

I'm confused as to what happened, can you rephrase?

Aspies are just lonely people who have no one to share their knowledge with desu. Tell us more about your friends user

Cute lol. Does she let you give her headpats?

I think I could have aspergers and have thought that for a very long time, but right now I'm too poor to go to a psych or any other doctor that could diagnose it.
So for now I'm just going to assume that all my weird-ass quirks and social ineptitude isn't too out of the ordinary...

Quirks like what? Do you suffer from any of the symptoms I mentioned before? Details, man.

Not frens with em anymore, they all leafed and grew up without me. But they were always really nice, and some of them lacked social awareness so they were hilarious to hang out with. Always gifted me stuff, talked to me, the usual. I miss them to be honest with you, I miss all my frens though.

>ditched school friends cause mental issues i cant deal with anymore
>grasshopper superstition enforces me to think im right, which i was
>going to college, need to make new friends but the people on my course arent the kind of people that would ever want to be my friend, same the other way
>come to r9k and post contact, found someone person i like talking to already
>grasshoppers were right and im a lot happier now

hopefully that makes sense

nah I just never wanted to or had the idea to at the time

I used to growl at people who tell me what to do as a kid. I grew out of it mostly...

She did too, although she was super clingy to me and liked me a lot for some reason.

I understand. Guess there's some people who never really leave you cause the impact they had was that great, and they sounded really fun desu. You're lucky to have met them, I hope you find similar people later on in life.
Why were you right? Were they just horrible people to be with?
Give her headpats!

Growing apart sucks. I am growing apart from my friends too and it gets lonely.

Maybe I don't know if I'll feel up to it

I guarantee you she'll appreciate it man. And her hear probably feels like heaven.

>Why were you right? Were they just horrible people to be with?

they pretty much proved my point by talking shit behind my back and flipped shit when i got mad at someone for not paying me off for something that was months overdue. and not to most people, but i didnt like this new person they became, and found them insufferable to be around

okay i'll keep that in mind when I see her

>tfw not allowed to leave the house for my whole teenage life
What the hell do I do now guys? I have no friends, no social skills and no money. Should I just kms?

I hope so too but I doubt ill find anyone again user. Hopefully things go well for you too.
I dont have anyone left to be honest with you. Got BPD so it is extremely hard. Aspies were the only ones that accepted me and could calm me down. Anxiety makes it impossible to find anyone else now though.

Oh, typical normie behaviour. I'm sorry that happened to you, it's a pain.
What became of the guy who didn't pay you off? Did he just get away with it?
Time to learn how to socialise, or claim disability and get neetbux. Obviously your parents were strict, but why didn't they let you leave the house?
I'm sure you'll find someone eventually, very few are alone forever.

Oh you underestimate my power user, for you see. Im fukd

Was not allowed to leave the house in case I got kidnapped. The homeschooled me from 6th grade onwards so I did it have to leave for school.

>low emotional intelligence
I have a hard time guessing how someone is feeling and how I should act accordingly. I have a hard time knowing if what I'm doing is socially acceptable.
>poor social skills
Fits me to a T. Only reason I feel ok leaving the house now is because of school and parents yelling at me to get a job. Before that I used to be scared to death of even going to the store because then I'd have to interact with the cashier and I'd be deathly afraid I'd mess up an encounter like that.
>not being able to judge people's mood
It's pretty hard for me unless I ask them directly. I wouldn't say I'm unempathetic to certain people either but I still just have a hard time with that.
>talking forever about something without realising the person's bored, autistically obsessing over a particular subject
Both of these used to be me as a child, but over time and especially towards puberty I became increasingly distant towards everybody. Probably was because I was called annoying a lot and had difficulty relating to people so I decided it would be best if I only speak when I need to.
Over the last year I think I've come close to being good at 'talking' to people. Can't really say I've ever met anyone I relate to at all though. When I talk to people I usually don't do anything but repeat what they say back to them or make a guess as to what I should say to make them like me more. What I'm actually thinking in my mind I never reveal.
Most people think I'm pretty cold. For example, a couple days ago at work a guy said hello to me, so I glanced in his direction and said "sup" and continued walking. Then his friend said "this nigga don't hang with nobody, he just comes for the paycheck and leaves"

I don't really have many particularly extreme obsessions, right now though. I had a few as a child, though

>Over the last year I think I've come close to being good at 'talking' to people. Can't really say I've ever met anyone I relate to at all though.
This is my problem. I can chat with acquaintances and keep my autism in check enough to just appear slightly eccentric. But I still struggle relating to people so I haven't really made any of those acquaintances into friends.

Go on lol. How high is your power level?
Hell take me. What became of your kidnappers? And what did they do to you? What did they want?
user I think you're aspergic, very aspie actually. Also I was the same back in primary school, damn.
What were your obsessions? I'm curious. How do you manage to talk to people too?

i'm not on the spectrum but one of my good friends from school had aspergers and he was mega fucking cool. Miss him.

they got the the old friend, who got mad at me, to pay it off. if nothing else he's good with money

Damn. Almost got jewed. I know the feel.
I'm going downstairs to make some food, I'll probably be back in a few minutes.

Call me retarded but I dont know what you mean

>What were your obsessions? I'm curious. How do you manage to talk to people too?
I used to spend hours as a child building roller coasters, or other structures from kinex sets.
Also I had an obsession with space as a child, and I read a bunch of books on it (nothing too advanced though, could be digested by a child). I spent a lot of my free time watching documentaries on space and I loved watching shows that covered that sort of topic. When I was a small child I was convinced I wanted to be an astronaut.

Over time though I gradually stopped learning and doing that sort of stuff and just played games like battlefield or war thunder for hours until I became good at it...

As for how I became good at talking to people uh teachers at school and working with people forces me to...

anyone else take things too literally
>walk into dining room
>dad sitting at table and there are papers all over the floor
>can't walk through because the papers are everywhere
>dad looks at me standing there and says "oh you can just walk all over my papers user don't help pick them up or anything"
>say ok and walk on them
>he yells at me

My obsession was WW2 and eventually just became history in general.

Didn't get food cause I don't know if I'm hungry Q_Q
Like how fucked are you basically?
That's kind of cute desu. What are your thoughts on Planet 9? Or hell, Higgs Boson particles?
I used to do that a lot, one time someone told me to take a seat and then I took a seat and walked off with it.

Attached: 1567097803242.jpg (873x675, 88K)

i had some obsessions too, tv logos, cars, etc.

>What are your thoughts on Planet 9? Or hell, Higgs Boson particles?
I'm not certain as I haven't kept up on all the conspiracies or hypothesises that have been put out, but I wouldn't be too surprised if there was another large body out in the distant reaches of the solar system. I'm not so certain it would be earth size though. Probably more like ceres or pluto.
I'm not a physicist and I couldn't give the implications or effects of the higgs boson without reading on it

Ah, this is why I spend unhealthy amount of times obsessing about doing cosplay, costumes, Power Rangers and robots.

I'd think that if there were that all life on it would probably be long dead by now; all that would remain would be the remenants of a dead race. Would we be able to walk among the dead? Maybe. It's hard to imagine a being that isn't an extremophile that can live in such harsh conditions such as those on Jupiter. Considering there's loads of proof that there is something pointing towards a potential planet 9 I do think it exists.
As for Higgs Boson, I'd have to say that its future uses can be used to deflect RPGs and such away from tanks due to the electromagnetic field. Imagine just having that level of protection, tanks could just be gods on the battlefield. That's if I understand what it is correctly.

What cosplays are you interested in? And have you ever wanted to build a robot?

I was diagnosed when I was five. I'm also a massive headcase. Ask me about it.

>Ask me about it.
Ok I'll bite

Cool where's the question

I'm interested in Star Wars cosplays & Power Rangers cosplays. I own several Star Wars cosplays, with remarkable quality.

And yes. I'm planning om building one. I'm still 1 year away of getting my bachelor's degree in mechatronics.

Damn, that's actually cool as fuck. Will your robot be like C3PO? Also you must be smart as hell.

Not making my own but just looking around.
Basically taking anti-biotics as a child to avoid infections like has a previously unknown trade-off. The culling of the bacteria means that some strains could end up not coming back, due to diet or other factors. Lack of probiotics.

These pro-biotics play an important role, kind of symbiotic with the brain. It sounds gross but the only way is to do a fecal transplant from someone with a healthy gut biome to get all those good bacteria in you. Studies showed that it would control behaviour like feeling too hungry and eating too much. Or the opposite like putting on too much weight, even with the same diet. Strange stuff.

I've always been skinny even though i eat a ton and i have a few autistic like behaviours but not much. I mainly struggle with depression which im thinking anti biotics could have started when i had to take a lot for a finger injury as a child

I went to a school with an aspie. He was chill, smoked weed and loved playing the drums.

just let me fukken die mayne
