Hey guys. I'm not an aspie first off. But I wouldnt go so far as to call myself Nt either. I am bi polar. Anyways your probably wondering what I am doing here. Fair question. A few years ago I met a girl with aspergers. At first I thought she was a little odd but she one day told me she had aspergers and I went and read up on it and a light dinged in my head. It explained alot about her. Anyways I was on wiki and they mentioned this forum so I decided to check it out learn what I could to relate to her better. Well I noticed alot of commonlaities we have believe it or not. I can tend to be extremly obessive and very anayltical I analyze everythign (to the lament of my friends when they try to watch a movie with me) I'll talk endlessly on the thigns that interest me. I also have always felt out of place in this world like I dont really belong here. I tend to be a loner tho I do have my circle of friends ive known for years. When i get into my depressed state I can hole up for weeks. I also have a sort of resentment towards phsychiatric medicine. Ive always felt that If this was the way I was born this is the way I should be and they shouldnt try to "Fix" me. Yes its not normal for people to be "Bi polar" But ive always felt my strong emotions were a source of strength and something that made me different from everyone else. I tried their drugs and I didnt like the plastic happy that it made me feel like. I feel more deeply then your average "normal" person and i like that be it for better or for worse. maybe some of you can relate. Bi polar forums are odd places, filled with people always talking about their suicide attempts. I find the obsessive behavior refreshing its something I can relate too.

I dont know tell me I am not welcome and I'll leave yall alone.

Welcome to WP! Hope you have a good stay here.

I had a friend who was bipolar, maybe even fully depressed. That didn't bother me though, she was still a great person on the inside to me.

Welcome to WP :)

I'm not going to tell you to go away, you are welcome here!

I have to say that I hate drugs too...I hate feeling "fake" emotions and would rather be anxious and depressed than feeling and acting something that was not normal for myself.

I have a friend who is bi-polar and he doesn't like drugs either. He says that they drugs block him from feeling what he is ment to feel...which I guess is like what I said before, they make you feel "fake" emotions.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy posting here and I'm sure that you will learn a lot about AS from being here.

Welcome cybermancer,

You will fit right in. You talk like an aspie, are into the same things, have an aspie girlfriend, BP is the most common bad Dx people mention, along with ADD AHDH, all welcome here, and sooner or later, aspie. Some good on line tests here.

Welcome.
No Bipolar is not NT in my opinion.
I had that diagnosis because I got hypomanic on an antidepressant.
Some experts still insist it is diagnostic, who knows? Anyhow they wanted a label, but I am happier with ASD label.
