Is this evidence aspergers syndrome doesnt exist????

Question

is this evidence aspergers syndrome doesnt exist??:

"symptons of AS include making a speech about ones interests when meeting someone for the firstt time" I ask, who DOESNT start relationships that way? anyone? Seriously, I am asking you all this question. I think everyone starts relationships that way

"AS people tend to lack empathy". Bahh, there are plenty of non-AS people like that!

"people with AS prefer french laonwords over germanic ones and sa "I suppose thers somethign wrong" instead of " think theres somethigng wrong" etc.

Thats like saying someone who likes cars more than airplanes has a brain disorder and one who likes airplanes more does'nt have a brain disorder...

the encyclopediadramatica.org article about aspergers syndrome defines it as:

"A condition contracted from reading the wikipedia article about the condition, causing the reader to think they ahve a brain disorder when in fact everyone on earth has the symptoms"......

Answer 1

I absolutely agree with your assessment; everyone has some slight symptoms of Asperger's. We all (or most of us) like to talk about what we're interested in, and we all, from time to time, misunderstand social situations and have difficulties adjusting to change. And we all have obsessive or habitual routines that sometimes get in the way of things such that we lose track of the bigger picture. I think that Asperger's was a fabrication created by the psychiatric industry to deceive susceptible people into thinking that they have a disorder and then robbing their pocket by making them pay for expensive drugs. It's a known fact that the psychiatric industry works in liaison with the drug companies, so it is all a corporate scam. I do think that there is such a thing as High-Functioning Autism, or perhaps a kind of 'Autistic Affective Disorder" or "Borderline Autism" in which people have some of the characteristics of the disorder without having the full-blown thing. I have a friend who was misdiagnosed with AS when he was 15, and he's one of the most social people I know. He's very good socially, as well as very athletic, and he can read non-verbal cues. I was also misdiagnosed with it when I was 17, because I happen to have been going through a rough time. But who doesn't when you're 17? But I also have very good motor coordination. I surf, play soccer, and play guitar. I do happen to have trouble w driving, but that's because I have road anxiety, and I was in an accident for which I was hospitalized, and this gave me a fear of driving. I can drive, it's just that whenever I try to, I have flashbacks of the incident, and it's the hardest thing in the world to overcome. But I'm getting there slowly. I'm just glad that I was able to survive, considering that my car was totaled. It took me another year before I could get up the confidence to drive again.

In any case, I really don't think that AS exists to the extent that psychiatrists claim it does. And I think that in my case, I had just been experiencing a rough time. I've been misdiagnosed with a lot of things, including bipolar. These were all confirmed as misdiagnoses and it was later recognized that a lot of my difficulties were situational and were not any kind of pervasive, pathological condition. I do have trouble with organization, but that's really about it.

Quotes:" From my clinical experience I consider that children and adults with Aspergers Syndrome have a different, not defective, way of thinking." Tony Attwood

But being differently minded myself, my biggest problem in this world is often ignorance of others, please do more research before you judge or delete my whole way of being. Those that think aspergers does not exist have not had to live with it, been wrongly diagnosed or misunderstood. Its easier to pretend some think does not exist rather than really find out, that takes time... read my web site, all of it and others like wrong planet and after a few weeks maybe you will begin to understand, from being diagnosed my life started to make sense, but for even me its taken a year of research to understand my own differences.

I do NOT believe everyone has a bit of autism in them, as I can and do relate to other people on the autism spectrum differently than those who are not, its like another language where I am at last fully understood.. But I do feel there are many undiagnosed adults, as aspergers syndrome diagnostic criteria has only been around since 1994, before that people were wrongly diagnosed or not diagnosed at all, but they are still here - it could be you, and quite often it is those that question!

Answer 3

I beleive there is more to it than that. testing for AS takes a lot of time. It's part of the autisic spectrum and AS is a very mild form of autisim.  

Answer 4

Either you're not smart enough to know that encyclopedia dramitica is a parody of real news, or you're deliberately making fun of people who have asperger's/autism.

Answer 5

If I had Asperger's Syndrome (which is a type of autism disorder) I sure wouldn't want you for a friend.  You apparently have no compassion for this disability which can be very socially isolating.

Remember, dude, that what goes around comes around.  That's the great Karma of the Cosmos.

Won't be Asperger's, but someday you will find yourself with some type disease or disorder where you need the sympathy and support of a network of family and friends.  It is my hope they won't be there for you and you can be on the receiving end of what you so unsympathetically dish out.
