And people still tell me I'm overly negative at times; but it's mostly about concrete, tangible, personal issues. I guess at a core psychological level, I'm pretty optimistic where it counts, and pretty much addicted to life's stimuli, both internal and external.

| learn to love the reflection in the mirror in the morning. find something, ANYTHING, to truly love about oneself and be appreciative of. find something positive about oneself which differentiates oneself from the world of other people. there is always something. |

| I don't know but I know I have been often. Have tried attempting it. It was better then it was but now i have these major mood swings. It is because we aspies feel different. |

I've been having periodical feelings of suicidalness lately. I keep thinking about how I'm never going to compare to these NT's.
And furthermore, I'm not sure I fully understand what friendship is supposed to be. The First-grade teacher said that friends is something your supposed to "have" in order to keep you happy or something. Ever since then, I kept viewing people as objects for some reason. Psychologically, I keep thinking that friendship is necessary in order to live life when its not. I don't know how to care for other people besides myself when they start forming their "boyfriend-girlfriend relationships". Talking becomes more difficult when your not aloud to talk about certain things because they are too personal.
NT's seem so much smarter then me. They treat me like a kid sometimes.
NT's always have something to do to keep them occupied so I'm kinda curious about what they do exactly that I don't.
No one understands myself more then I do but just barely that. I don't expect them too.
For some reason, they see us as "Mentally-retarded"" or "stupid" when they come the the conclusion that we're autistic when we stay quiet for 3 weeks of school-life so they automatically ignore us. |

| I do not think it is my AS that makes me suicidal....its probably the other mental issues I have including depression, anxiety, PTSD and some issues probably related to having a rather horrid childhood and A very unstable family. I am not always suicidal lately I have been kind of on and off. Also another somewhat unrelated thing that does not help is how a lot of people think people in my economic situation regardless of why are parasites, worthless, garbage ect and the media feeds on it. I guess that sort of mentality kind of disturbs me considering the sorts of things humans have been capable of in the past. |

many aspies who are blue about their whole situation, should take a hint from the deaf peoples' coping playbook- aspies should also have their own language and culture separate from NTs, as the deaf do from the hearing world. a deaf person doesn't consider him/herself inferior to a hearing person, just differently abled, and an aspie should think likewise about him/herself relative to NTs. just my 2-cents' worth, adjusted for inflation  |

I don't think I would fit in with an 'aspie' culture either.......though keep in mind there is not just one NT culture, I mean there is society and the people that try and live in it and conform to it then there are those who do not. Not even all NTs like this society. |

| I've had bouts with suicidal thoughts myself, particularly during my high school years. The thoughts usually stemmed from the aftermath of an extremely upsetting social encounter or something similar. College made it even worse, though. This past spring, I came as close as I've ever come to suicide... it's painful to think about. |

| I have never thought about suicide. But I do have some "passively suicidal" thoughts. For example, I would probably react to a robbery. In fact, I ran after a trio of pickpockets once when they stole a very cheap chinese MP3 Player I had. |

| I don't think Aspergers and autistic should be in any used against someome to say that they are at risk of suicide. It is the bullying. And being on the Autistic specrum could be a high risk of being bullied. Cure the bullying first should be the goal. The goal of curing Autism just causes more bullying. |

| what is worse than the bullying, is having to be on one's toes in the process of defending oneself against said bullies who can be diabolically sneaky. this wears one down in a slow grind. it is yet more discouraging when bystanders either do nothing or laugh along/abet the bullies. |

For years have had and still have the same thoughts about it.
Active - no
Passive - yes i wouldnt let them treat cancer, or if a car comes my side of the road i would happyly stay on mine
I dont wish for my family to have extra grieve but if i can get a good excuse .... any day is as good as the next day to die aint it?

I can honestly say I think about suicide every day and I have done since I was about 5 or 6 years old.
I take antidepressant medication which doesn't fix it but it makes it less intense - enough so that most of the time I don't actually attempt it. |
