Do you wish you never existed?

no

Yep. Having LD, aspergers makes it sad. Normal people without disabilities are more successful and happier.

Yes, I do about 99.99999999999999999999% of the time.

There was a time when I would have answered yes. When I spent my life trying to live up to other peoples expectations, I was pretty miserable. But, I gave up on that. I am living life the way I want to live and am enjoying it. Screw them. They can accept me the way I am or they could go away. (They usually choose the latter)

Every day I find something to rejoice in. For example, the other day I saw a midget with a beard so long, it touched the ground. It made me so happy and laugh so hard I almost pee'd my pants. Today I got a beer in a bar that was made out of a single wide trailer home. A single wide!!-- So damn funny. And tommorrow is a new South Park.

No. I am glad I was born. This placed is messed up and it amuses me.

Well this thread is really depressing.

I think it's really sad how many of you wish you weren't born. I wonder if your family and friends feel the same way about you? I doubt they do. You probably mean more to them than you all realise, despite any hurt/anger/frustration you may cause because of your AS.

Look at some of the positives AS can bring. Our ability to focus on our areas of interest, our strong sense of social justice, our ability to see things as they are, not how we want them to be, our ability to see past people's differences, etc. What would the world be like without people like us in it? You and even some NTs may not see it, but I believe we have a place here, and a damn good one at that.

I don't wish I was never born - I just wish I was born NT.

No. I never wished not to exist or wished to die.

I will cease to exist soon enough. I do not have to wish for it.

Before I had any confidence (pre October 2007), I always wished I had never existed.

I am glad to be alive, but not in the way I would like it to be, as my dyslexia and aspergers is a problem to other people, who possess a lack of knowledge and acceptance towards it. I have to accept it, with very little or no help from the state.

I might have lost out on having things other people take for granted, but at the same time, I have my health, wealth, confidence, self-esteem, family and a limited amount of online friends from other places who do have genuine time for me vice versa.

Sometimes it feels like theres no point in carrying on and that theres nothing I'm truly good at, but I did a sports and leisure course at college and I excelled when it came to Physiotherapy stuff and Sports nutrition and I was truly happy at that point in my life, when I'm not doing something and reflect on myself all I see is the bad stuff, how I failed, how I haven't got a girlfriend, y'know, life stuff.

But I remember that I am good at something and I'm actively taking steps in trying to get where I want to be, it's not easy to say ''Just find something you're good at.'' because I've been there, I know what it's like and really, finding you're true calling is what you need to do.

Also, Theres alot to live for, even if you have Autism or Aspergers, the army frown upon my Aspergers and they're probably not going to take me because of it, but thats just life, you have to find something to do otherwise you'll just eat yourself in you're free time.

I swear we make a new thread like this every week.

Are we a bunch of whiners?

If a choice had been possible, and further, if it was possible to have known what lay ahead, I would have passed.
