Is there any position lower than being AS socially.

Post Reply New Topic

As hated as I was in school, I wasn't the one that was most picked on...so I guess there is a position lower than ASD....

A lower functioning autistic ?

Still projecting and putting words in people's mouths, I see.

To the OP, although at times I've felt like aspies were seen as the lowest of the low, I think some convicted criminals, addicts, and people with certain mental illnesses are more hated, usually. Borderline personality disorder isn't terribly popular.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say obese people probably get more hate from the general population, too. If anyone wants to argue that it's justified because they "choose to be fat" and so on, be my guest: as far as I'm concerned it would just prove my point anyway (for that matter, a lot of NTs can't understand that we don't choose to be "cold" or "rude" or "inappropriate").

yes but your employer does

Half of the responses seem to be to "who has it worse in life" and the other half to "who is less liked". I thought this was about the latter; sorry if I'm wrong.

I think that it depends on the way your As effects your quailty of life..some people with AS struggle with..maybe some social problems and interaction ..while others like me suffer from a range of problems that effect my daily life.
If you ask me ..you can never compair it to an illness....although it does feel like that..as you never seem to get better.
"yes" AS is a nightmare for most people including myself.

More like using my powers of deductive/inductive reasoning to formulate an appropriate response based on my observations of the OP's posting history.

YMMV.

I don't see where you got that quote unless you created it yourself, I didn't respond to anything here with 'stuff' also that single word hardly indicates social would be in front of it. Why are you constructing a false comment of mine to argue with, don't get it.

I think there are other worse things in life than having AS, but I still rather not have it at all. I just want to be normal and that's that. I just want to have normal worries what others can relate to aswell. I don't like having unique worries, like worrying that I'm too able for one thing but too disabled for another thing, or that I'm stupid but intellegent at the same time, or whether I should tell job interviewers about my disability or not, and what the outcome of my decisions will be, and so on. I know you don't have to have AS to be half-able and half-disabled like I am, but I'd rather not be anything. I just want to be normal, and that's that.

Nope...he wasn't on the spectrum, and I was not mild to begin with.

Edit: there was a lower-functioning autistic kid that came to my junior high when he was in grade 7 and I was in grade 8. NO ONE picked on him.

Welfare queens , even if their not a royal . I'm shocked it's hasn't been said yet

There are loads of things out there worse than being an Aspie; being mentally ret*d for one, and frankly the thing you said about the cancer, I'd rather be a nonverbal low-functioning autistic than dying of cancer, or anything else. Asperger's really isn't as bad as it seems; we all have problems, even some NT's, like socially phobic ones, can have as bad or worse social skills than us, our problem is much more common than anyone wants to admit, but wallowing in despair over something you can't change doesn't help anyone. Find something you are good at, a special interest or something, and take pride in the fact that you wouldn't be able to do it as well as you do if you weren't an aspie.

Chavs. At least, that's what paranoid Communists (i.e. Owen Jones) believe.
