hey everybody. I was just on local YouTube™ when I stumbeled apon this video of a german kid who was getting angry because his game would not work. I think he might be diagnosed with autism.

these people shoud be banned and have viruses sent to them

Totally agree. I would never put a video of myself on there when something does not work for me. I never imagined it was an autistic trait until recently. If a forum is running slow or anything goes wrong on my pc, I am from calm to absolutely raging in seconds, to a degree I will throw things and swear for England. I suppose the ignorant masses out there had such a narrow knowledge base that they wouldn't have known an autistic child if one came up and rocked in front of them.

Oh, man, I've seen that video. It's f*****g insane. I don't see what the problem with those comments was, other than maybe being a little insensitive due to lack of knowledge about his actual mental health, but what do you expect anyways, it's youtube. The kid is f*****g CRAZY. I don't know about him being the next Hitler, but he does need psychiatric help. That's not freakin NORMAL, the way he was behaving. Not normal in a bad way, I mean.

I don't think this sort of thing has to do with discrimination against aspies exclusively. If you look around Youtube you will find many insulting comments directed at any number of people for specious reasons.

A reaction like that could have been caused by any number of things... not only autism but possibly ADHD, or bipolar disorder too.

The first time I saw that video I thought he needed some ways to properly vent his frustrations. Something physical like karate or something so that he could channel his energy and of course some counselling to help him to deal with whatever issues he's facing in his life.

Comments like that are nothing if you have browsed YouTube for a while.

I have only ever looked at one video on youtube, linked from another aspie forum...I must say, I am even less inspired to look further now

you cant blame your problems on having AS...
if you get angry like that you have an ANGER PROBLEM.
i have a friend who thinks something is messed up in his brain. he blames EVERYTHING on it. he has been to the doctor and they have tested him, scanned him, pokes and probed, everything, and found NOTHING wrong with him. he stopped going to school and everything because of it.
so yeah, dont blame it on AS then do nothing about it... do something about it.
i do not get angry and throw things or yell and curse or w/e, i have SELF CONTROL. i do not blame anything on having AS. i suck at english because i am lazy and dont bother to make the effort to learn it better. i lack social skills because i am a coward and will not go out into many social events. i excel in mathematics, physics, and computer science, not because i have AS, but because IIIIIIIIIIIII, as in ME, am good at those subject.

Even non-aspies get upset over losing at video games. I've seen it happen billions of times.

I agree with matt 271, stop being so sensitive.

....you should seek support for asperger's but don't make it your only defining feature, and don't try to be a victim.......and don't use mental illness as an excuse for inexcusable behaviour(as I've done on countless occasions)

Considering I can understand what he says and how he says it, I'm quite sure this is not real. He's acting!
Reminds me of a bad humored joke. Foreign people won't know (how should they anyway!), that there is this huge debate going on in Germany for several years, which is about video games and their effect on children. And this video is about exactly this... even though it's quite... stupid.

There was this amok run once and people were all shocked and looking for the cause that made this boy shoot people in his school. All kinds of things were brought up, but most of all, it was clear that we don't want nor tolerate amok runs or children shooting children in school. People were afraid that the same things would start to happen that they knew from new abroad (from USA mostly I think) - means, children controlled for weapons before they get into school and such. This caused an overreaction.

Last year there was another amok run that everybody heard of, a boy that tried to kill teachers and other students and lastly killed himself when the police was close. He was playing video games, just like that other boy and all those boy (only boys I think) that announced an amok run. Counter strike and other games, even Final Fantasy (part 3 I think it was).

So, politician are about to ban certain games in which human figures are harmed, as they try to make us all believe (of course many worrying and scared adults do) that video games cause children to become out of control and do amok runs.

Of course, this is stupid for the most part. It's not video games, not anywhere in the world, but society. I can't decide whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that most of the worlds shares the problems today's generation show.

Why I also think he's acting: he has a seriously weird pitch in his voice that is not used in a normal situation, but in acting and false screaming. (I go for voice to read people, I'm all into music.) He makes breaks in speech, where one expects none from someone who is so angry and out of his mind. It doesn't quite fit what he says either.

The thing that aggravates me about the comments, though I have seen and heard enough of those even in the press, is that they call Germans Nazis. Hell to go for stupidness.

I haven't seen the video, nor do I particularly care to as I'm not sure why anyone would post such a video or comment on it. Seems like a very NT thing to do and a guy NT thing at that. But, I could be wrong, my dealings with the NTs are very limited lately.


What did interest me in the posts is the term mental illness. It's not an illness, it's a brain disorder. An illness is something you get that causes sudden onset of symptoms. A disorder is something you are born with. Terming it as a mental illness is kind of self defeating. Looking at it like a disorder helps you to understand it and what you must do to work your way around what that disorder has left you without and enjoy what it has left you with. For instance, understanding that the messages just aren't making it sometimes or are messed up helps you understand stims, meltdowns and seemingly irrational bouts of behavior. Your messages are just messed up or not working. Once you understand that and how a brain works, you can start to look at it from the perspective that humans are highly adaptable, so for the most part, we can learn to "get around" our lack of normal messaging paths and executive function to process them. We can develop different avenues to cope with that. I don't know that they have had success with stims, but certainly they have had success with "faking" socialization in an NT sense (enough to get by), sticking with things outside our interest range to get them done so we can get what we need and understanding how we actually control anger so we can begin to see that it does not control us. Temple Gradin says that her generation and mine probably fared better because so many of these things were simply drilled into us by rote so we learned them, even if we didn't understand why we did them. As a result, we function more easily among the NTs and we find our place by our professions because all of that socialization garbage is happening by rote for us. I believe that is true. So, there are ways around it, but you need to understand your own brain first and use it not as a crutch but as a way to get your brain to do what you need it to do. You need to find the alternate route.


And if somethings you just don't want to do say English or being friends with highly emotive NTs (as is my case), just see it for what it is... a decision you made. Just acknowledge it and move on. Dwelling on it is what causes the issues.


As for those comments? They are like comments on the playground. Why do you even care about people like that? They exist and they are not going to change. If they finally accept autism, they will find something else to "pick on." This is their disorder. Don't let it become your anxiety. It's stupid, immature behavior. So what? There's plenty of that and it goes on all the time. Just move on and live your life. Giving them your minutes (which you will never get back) is wasteful.

I haven' t seen the video, but I wouldn't want one of my kid's meltdowns out there in public -and yes, other kids at my son's school HAVE used their cell phones to film my son having a meltdown. Bullies. Who made the video, anyway?
