I did not really understand loneliness until hormones & puberty caught me unaware. Stupid biology! LOL
Well, ok not so funny. I was really hurting by age 19. Always felt I was different from others. Also was constantly getting the "Be stronger!" or "Apply yourself!" lines.
Oh well, like I said, not possible to be dxd with AS for me, as it was not a recognized condition at the time. And HFA? Did not even know there was such a thing. My example of an Autistic child was "Tommy" on St. Elsewhere. A very unfortunate character to use as a diagnostic measure. All the mis-conceptions rolled into one.

Still waiting to meet someone faking AS though. I will let you know if I find one, ok?

Sincerely,
Matthew

Because it makes life easier for them.

One girl even said that if Asperger's exist, everyone could be disabled. I was really close to... speaking my mind. And I rarely do that.

On top of Asperger's, I also fake depression and social anxiety. I'm really good at it. People really believe I have it.

Yeah, puberty was hell. I can't say I am happy now either, but I had some real breakdowns when I was 16/17.

Before puberty, I still had some self-confidence. It's the only thing I really miss.

I don't think anyone would fake having aspergers, they may have their suspicions, but that doesn't mean they're faking it.

It wouldn't make sense anyway. Because having Aspergers usually makes you stick out and get noticed by nasty people. I don't think anyone really believes that people fake Aspergers.

i just need to sneak into a crack of reality and live there like lichen on a 200 year old log that is never interrupted. in the deepest forest.

i am not sure how what i posted relates to the topic title, but i will press "submit" anyway.


I trimmed the quote down to keep context:

I don't think it relates to the topic title, but I like what you wrote. Most especially the bit about sneaking into a crack of reality to live uninterrupted.

I really doubt he cares about the hornet's nest he stirred up or he's happy about how many people he trolled, the thread is 19 pages long, he's probably proud. I didn't realize until now he was 15, I said and thought tons of stupid sh** when I was that age too.

as having AS has its ups and downs but people should not fake having it.



I was beginning to realize that you were just trolling to see what kind of trouble you can stir up a few days again. You are problably the biggest faker on here. True there may be a few fakers on here. You have a few fakers on any forum. But you are stating as if practically everyone are fakers here. And yes mmcool, I notice you did a disappearing act after your 2nd post.

TROUBLEMAKER!

This is the fourth reply so far I found. You must be really proud of yourself, as*hole, for stirring up trouble.

That was very well said. I would have said the same things. Cool

Now that this thread has descended into personal attacks it's probably time to let it die.

And really - resorting to personal attacks?
Is that the best way to behave?
