This is the new "autism level one diagnosis".

Spoiler

This is the old aspergers diagnosis which I always read about when I was a kid. It's bullshit and describes nothing about me.

Spoiler

It really always pisses me off that people compare me to something like that. I guess now that I look at the new diagnosis it still kind of seems like a pussy excuse. I have had a bunch of people, including doctors, parents, teachers, kids around me, try to tell me I am autistic. It's pretty offensive, but when I watch an actual video of myself or listen to myself talk, I am kind of astounded at how fucking retarded I look and sound. I honestly really hate myself for that and I feel like there is no way I could ever actually be "normal". I am extremely socially isolated too. I haven't really talked to anyone outside of the internet in years, which my therapist says is pretty extreme in my case.

Spoiler
I definitely have a hard time initiating conversation with people irl. I often don't pick up on jokes in when I am talking to someone in person who I don't know very well. If I am talking to someone who I know well like my younger brother or a friend then I get the jokes really easily though.

Spoiler
I dunno about this one. I think I have pretty good verbal communication skills. I don't think I have a hard time understanding body language and gestures at all.

Spoiler

I definitely have a hard time adjusting behavior to different social contexts, in uncomfortable situations. If I am just at a party with my relatives or something or at a nice restaurant, or at a play or concert, or anywhere that is formal and people are respectful, sure I get along with no problem. If I am at school though or trying to interact with people at school, I would be much more inclined to want to punch someone in the face. I dunno about the "imaginative play part". I definitely hate RPing lol. I definitely don't have an absence of interest in my peers. I just feel like talking to them makes me super vulnerable to them thinking I'm weird. So I just try to avoid it because I feel extremely hurt every time I try to engage with someone who I never met. It always leaves me feeling awkward and retarded.

damn it. I hate that "edited" tag on the OP. I fudged it up and I just made a correction. Can a mod remove that bullshit?

I still say a lot of research still needs to be done. It's still a big mystery. People used to think that this shit was ADHD.

Yeah I really hate it. It seems like a poor excuse for being bad at socializing and I doubt any actual neurological research has been done for it. It seems a lot like a catch all excuse just like ADHD.

My stupidity is self evident.
It's caused by vaccines,  gmos and eating too much ketchup.

Indeed. With proper therapy a person should be sociable, that is unless their mind is really far gone with other nonsense involved.

Adam Lanza for example.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
That it's a social disorder that causes, in some individuals, anxiety in public areas, inability to properly communicate with others, the need to establish a specific pattern in objects or a daily routine, and generally a withdrawn demeanor.

And that you apparently have it if you disagree with certain idiots. Rather odd, that.
