Hey, is this linked to Aspergers?

[Abyss Jikun Hu]

So I called my psychiatrist, from a couple years back, full of hog wash when he said I am Higher Functioning Aspergers. I was able to keep my opinion that way until I ran into a kid who was Aspergers as well, the kind you read about all over the net. It's so bizarre, no more than half an hour ago I had this urge to finally read into it and realized I was more like him than I thought. I finally accept that I (may) have Aspergers.

That's not the issue. though. It's just the back story. Lately I've been feeling really strange and down right Machiavellian. Example, I've been shop lifting a lot lately. Other example, I feel like torturing info out of people instead of just letting things go. Yet another example, let's say friends are in some kind of feud, I'll look for a way to solve their problem that also helps me and it will benefit me more than them.

Not only that, but my actual emotions are messed up. Every time I have a feeling, it doesn't seem like I'm actually experiencing it but more so remembering what it's like to experience it. A good example is my girlfriend. I don't feel like I love her, I just know what the feeling is like and we're together regardless. Another time is when my friend got kicked out of her house last week, usually I would feel pity and talk to her; trying to help her through her issue. Instead, I said "Tell me about." while at the same time thinking "Why am I asking?"

Lastly, I feel incredibly bored of everything. Last week, I was in LOVE with S4, but over the course of like a few days, I suddenly found it as entertaining as the Dofus Ad at the bottom of this post. Talking to people doesn't take the bored and lonely away and I can't seem to find fun in doing anything when I leave the house - Be it smoking, stealing, talking to people; you name it.

It's like out of no where, I became desensitized from my own thoughts, judgments, and feelings.

TL;DR - I feel like my Aspergers somehow, out of no where, just tore apart what made me, me.Things aren't clicking like the used to and I posted to see if anyone's words of wisdom will somehow fix me.

Don't expect anything special from the LD.

Especially on a Tuesday morning, this I know. Couldn't hurt whether I chose to do it or not.

hm. There's a book you should check out if you want to know more about it. "The complete guide to asbergers"

[Shima Shinji]

Quit thinking that you're a victim of it and just get over it.

It's not like you just got the disease yesterday and now you're a different person.

I'm not suffering from it, I'm living with it. Are you quite finished?

Well, I truly apologize for not telling you what you want to hear.

Yeah, that's the one. Mum bought that for me when I was diagnosed.

And Shima, although she may have lived with it for a while, it does not make realizing and coming to terms with it any different. Finding out often does change a person, even if only slightly. Can you be a bit more sensitive next time?

I don't see why it's suddenly this life-changing condition. She's lived with it her whole life and not known about it, obviously it's not that bad. It's not like she's just finding out that not everybody is blind like her or something.

Ah, well then. What kinds of things does the book cover? (I could wiki it, but wiki doesn't give opinions, just facts or pseudo facts.)

You're right, it shouldn't be life changing. I had the feelings I wrote about in the original post ever since I was born or understood them, but at the same time, they weren't as strong till now and a few other times in my life. I was just wondering if somehow the two are connected and if they aren't, I'll just have to search for a new answer. It's that simple.

You know, I DID remember my therapist saying people with AS can think on a different if not higher plane than you and the rest of the other folks in the world... Maybe that's why you fail to understand either of us.

Then again, I did say my shrink is full of hogwash.

I've always felt like that. For most people it's temporary; I doubt your aspergers had anything to do with it, only the realisation that you do have aspergers. My brother, who is also my best friend has aspergers, it's hardly noticable to me, I've known him or too long to notice any abnormalities in his behaviour.

I never thought much of my friend's behavior when I first met him. But little by little, I saw a little of myself in him and eventually I did ask if he was diagnosed.

I do feel that you're onto something, mentioning my acceptance/realization of the syndrome. I am hoping that book Caramel Nursery Ryhme might help me sort out a few things.

[akioni jae]

don't take this the wrong way but i had a friend with that same syndrome and we are no longer friends because he was very insensitive to my feelings. i know it was apart of the disease but, he crossed the line when i had a situation with my mom.

not much more i can say about it.

Any input is food for thought, thank you.

Sounds like you're just a stubborn idiotic teenager. Get off your a** and find something to do with your life that you don't fail at. Listen to your doctors.
