So you have signed up on this site and you claim to have Aspergers. Maybe you have it or maybe you do not have it. You just do not really know and you are self diagniosed Aspergers by simply signing up for WP and saying I am now self Diagnosed

Aspergers is a lifestyle choice and by having Aspergers you have special powers. You can read people's minds, predict the future(maybe the winning lottery numbers or winning sports teams or the questions for the Exam paper), the possibilities of your special abilities/talents are endless.

I have Aspergers, you have Aspergers, my cat, my dog, my family and friends all have Aspergers and all embrace the Aspergers lifestyle.

Aspergers is a super ability, not a disability. With Aspergers you may have special super human talents/abilities.

Well good for you owning it like that Dark Lord. WTG, dude! You go right ahead and be an Aspie superhero... I'll even make a cape for you... just for being SUCH an inspiration.

I even know what your super powers are: ultra sarcasm, xray derision, and the ability to rain on the parade of others in a single bound...

How does one become so incredibly jaded in a mere 21 years of life? You're bid to become an anti hero is well under way. I may add angry, disaffected youth onto that as well. Possibly emo - but with a dark side. Obviously. You already claimed ownership of that... :roll: silly me.

Well there you go - here I was thinking you were just a tool - but you go and prove you actually have a very good grasp of the situation - well done!

Actually I think aspergers is a mental disorder.....not that I have an issue with having a mental disorder, I have others to. But yes though there are some positive things that come with it there are still quite a few disadvantages. but that is how I see it, I don't think its a lifesyle choice, since I never chose to have aspergers.

I totally messed up. I got the psychiatrist diagnosed type of Aspergers Syndrome. The kind where I go to therapy, take medication and have to make special accommodations to function and complete tasks. I didn't know that the self-diagnosed type of Aspergers Syndrome had superpowers and zero accountability. This sucks. Can I make an exchange?

Well I am more then self diagnosed...the counseler I have been going to but only have one meeting left, thinks aspergers is the correct diagnosis as well. But yeah still not official.....and I do not think I really have super powers, I can sense more then the average person. Like I can feel what kind of weather there is even in a building with no windows, I am extra sensative to the energy from storms and just minor little things not a lot of people seem to have awareness of. And I don't really feel that I have zero accountability.

I was trying to be facetious based on Dark_Lord_2008's obvious trolling. I do know what you mean about sensing storms. The change in the ionization of the air, I guess. I like it, too. I really prefer rain. Thunderstorms and lightning are very exciting and energizing.

I love this as well.

Pressure drops bother me, though.

YEAH!! I LOVE rain and lightning and thunder! Not so keen on windy tho. And I've always been able to sense pressure changes - anyone else noticed that the kettle water actually gets noticeably hotter or cooler according to ambient pressure too?

I grew up in Chicago, so I have a lot of comfort with wind and the roaring sound of an airplane soaring overhead. I go to sleep to the sound of the ocean on my iPod. It runs for 90 minutes. I gotta have white noise. I get excited chills thinking about the cold wind whistling through a window on a Chicago Autumn evening.

Oh i like the sound of wind too - but in the context of rain + thunder + lightning unfortunately the wind is often destructive - it's the destructive part I'm not so keen on. I've been thru several cyclones and having come thru without harm I actually really enjoyed the sound of the wind - but could have done without the worry about the house coming apart any second. I can sleep like a baby thru the height of a cyclone or laying next to a big diesel engine etc. and I'm fortunate to have quite serious tinitus - so even complete silence isn't a drama - I have my own built in comfort system :)

What benefit is there to for being an asperger's "pusher"? It is not like there are pills to take for it or even regular doc visits outside the norm. It is basically just dealing with it.

If a person cannot help themselves from being "awkward" and "weird" as you so kindly put it, there must be something else going on otherwise I am sure they would love to be normal like other children and adults.
