Self Pity in the AS community

Yes that is true, especially with woopie cushions..

I completely agree about the depression thing. This post would be rather harsh for any depressed people who read it, and that would be counter-productive.

It isn't the sort of post that will motivate absolutely everyone. When I say "motivate", I should say motivate in the right way.

So cheer up, buttercups, and enjoy your originality for what it is. That's why you are at WP.

btw -There is a bellyache department: it's called The Haven. The responses you get will depend on how you broach whatever you post there

When you say N.T's do you mean people around you in general?

Sure, since most of them are probably NT.

Other people are other people to me.

Seems more like a pseudo-medicalized cult that ingrains it methodologies of thought neuro-typologies in real life, a changing thing psychologically, I question it’s potential harm.

The difference is living the label as well as making everyone else a label or simply being who one is without any psychological adaptation to labelisms reverse and or otherwise.

Infering of course to the group to community mind frame whilst conforming to labelized psychopathologies.

Id be entertained to understand this by means of the concept of psychological compartmentalization.

I've never really had the desire to fit in, so that is why even while amoung the alike, I am not that alike socially it seems.

It's the age thing,these younger people are growing up in a way more crazy enviroment than us older people.

i stuck my foot in my mouth when I first started posting and somebody came along and put their foot deep up my (edited) so I did some thinking about what these younger people are dealing with and try and see where they are coming from.

Many times the N.T archetype is a compartmentalized part of the mind where hurts from others who do not have A.S.D's are mentally placed.

The term neurotypical is an insult. Many remarkable people do not have AS. And clearly the typical cult/elitist mindset is present among those here with AS or there wouldn't be so many references to neurotypicals like they were some species of ape.

While that might be true in part, I think some just use the terminology while some take it more seriously.

Subjectivism is in all arguements and is everywhere in logic, so is critical analysis’s.

What about 1+1 = 2 though, now that I think of it.

Everything really is an effect of having Asperger's syndrome. I snore sometimes. Is this an aspect of having AS? You bet! Buying large fries and a large Coke at McDonald's today cost me $2.67. Was this a grand conspiracy of NTs to part me from my not-so-hard-earned money? Definitely. Some girl I like doesn't like me back. This is a social problem which can obviously be attributed to my Asperger's. I like chocolate a lot, and I can't resist getting another Cadbury Crème Egg. This is because liking chocolate is a part of having Asperger's (I need to make a thread about that!).

Whining and feeling sorry for myself is a large part of who I am, but it's not mere self-pity due to my Asperger's. My life plan is to collect disability and then whine about NTs and the suckiness of life on the Internets until I die. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

Are you serious or are you making fun of others? I do not know you but I am on it and the only thing I want to do is get off of it for self-suffecency.

I consider it a pay off for society not wanting to accomodate, even though later in life I will be very well off, I feel guilty all the time for having to be on it.

I have a lot of self-pity on my blog, and I talk about asperger's a lot on it--usually blaming my social issues on it, at least in part.

I don't think I'd just stop having asperger's if I had the chance, I just wish I was in a stable social situation, and that I had the ability to control some aspects of it/put it in the background when I want to. The thing is, in my case it came with really severe sensory defensiveness so there are few times when I'm not thinking about it, because you're always sensing things and I'm always feeling some kind of pain/discomfort/itch/etc. because of how defensive my senses are. (I mean, it takes me at least a half hour to take a shower, because I keep having to change the temperature so it's not too hot or cold, or make sure the pressure's not hurting me but is actually coming out enough to wash my hair, etc.) And then people complain to me about taking long showers, even though I always have. Take that kind of thing and mix it with every aspect of everyday life (especially eating--there are sooooo many foods I wish I could enjoy but can't, and of course my dad always has to rub it in by constantly asking me if I want some food that he's making that he KNOWS I don't like...). Basically, because I associate sensory defensiveness with asperger's, and because I'm always worrying about my social life (and lack thereof), it's hard to escape it. The only times I can escape it is when I'm watching a movie or something, which could be why I'm obsessed with movies. (Books, not so much--I find reading difficult because there's always some noise or smell or feeling bothering me and distracting me and preventing me from reading, which stinks because I love writing so much. Reading more could definately improve my writing.)
