Do you have Asperger’s Syndrome? – (1/2) Explaining the Symptoms
By admin on July 20, 2010, 10:04 am
Link to the website I’m talking about in the video: www.webmd.com I have a lot of problems with how AS is portrayed, people put certain words on us and they don’t know what it MEANS. I even read a paper from a doctor who claimed that people with Asperger’s lie more than normal people simply because He had read that aspies don’t have empathy for other people. Which is just so incredibly wrong, most aspies are so truthful it hurts. Personally I have vowed to never lie anymore to anyone, because I’ve been lied to so much…by “normal” people. So, here I go through the most common symptoms for AS and also give my thoughts and views on said symptoms. If you have AS and don’t agree with me at all, then please tell me! Because I want to know if I’m “teaching” the wrong things. But I don’t think I am. And if you’re a parent to an AS child or have a friend with AS then don’t hesitate to ask me anything you want to know. I’d do anything to make sure that the people with AS don’t get as misunderstood and bullied as I have been in my life. Even if that means talking to strangers, heh. Part 1 out of 2 because I can’t stop talking…

Thank you. Your videos have been very helpful. I am 16 and it has always seemed that I view the world differently than most people. Communication is like being stuck behind a thick piece of glass. I can’t and don’t want to relate to most people. Eye contact and physical contact make me squirm in most cases. I believe I have AS but don’t have medical insurance to see a doctor about it. I have also had some problems with the symptoms of AS as typically described, so I’m not always certain.

You are hilarious and adorable, I want to dunk you in my coffee (haha that was a joke
)
AWESOME! You’re SWEDISH and a CHEF!!!
Cool!
are you left handed?
are you left handed?
@AntiGravDisclosure
Depends what you mean by “mild”. You either have AS or you dont have AS. But every aspie have a different setup of AS-symptoms – some which are more severe (handicapping?) than others. So yes, there are varying degrees of disability when it comes to AS. Some have it very hard and some have what you could call “a normal life”.
Thank you man! Your a cool guy
@MrVegemitesandwich Yeah the last part confuses me too. Although I’ve heard that it’s helpful to look at the left eye and then the right eye when you talk to people, so that you’re not staring at one place (which is a start i guess). Idk, it kinda works for me. =P
My language is very obscure compared to my peers because language for me is an exchange of information, not a social tool. My mum always got upset when I didn’t look at her in the eye, and then when i did look her in the eye, she acused me of staring rigidly. I still don’t get how you’re supposed to look people in the eye…
I can identify with point 3 about empathy, I can feel for other people, except only when I care to, and sometimes I feel for others but “don’t show it the right way”. Sarcasm also confuses me, like my schoolteachers sometimes are sarcastic with me and I take it literally, although sometimes I use it to seem somewhat socially acceptable.
Yeah, some people are even borderline normal/aspergers, like my friend, Jack. I’m an aspie as well, and my obsession right now is neurological disorders, and in particular, autism. Thanks for the information, Adkit2
im pretty sure empathy means that you feel others pain. that you put yourself in their shoes. if your friends mother died, you would also be affected by sad emotions. im pretty sure thats empathy
@AntiGravDisclosure Of course it is. You can have a cold that makes you snivel some or you can have a cold that threatens your life.
is it possible to have a mild form of aspergers?
hi, guy. Youre right , its very true that web sites about aspergers are sometimes ridiculous about the descriptions of symptoms. I think scientists or professionals should learn more about autism.
at 9.10 to 9.40 from your video, it is definitly true. But i had never seen it explaining as well as you did. Good job.

Love both of these symptoms videos.
Even though I don’t believe I have AS I share some of the behavioural traits you list with one or two wrinkles of my own.
All of us are somewhere on a spectrum of character, ability and disability. It is convenient to label someone as AS (or obsesive compulsive or bipolar or …), particularly if treatment is required.
Looking at you video I get-it that things can be a bit tough, but you don’t need treatment, just some understanding.
Very cool video
Not being able to send the right or read the right emotions is very aspie. I’m not saying that you can’t spot when someone is angry or not. I’m saying that you don’t pick the signals up on instinct. I love movies because they always overact their emotions in order to convey them properly so even an aspie can “get” the emotions.
In my humble opinion: yeah, you sound pretty aspie.
But you NEED to talk to a psychiatrist before you can be sure of anything.
you don’t HAVE to be sensitive to light, nor do you have to be sensitive to shower-heads for example. Some aspies are sensitive to different things.
And obsessing over singular hobbies is a very aspie thing to do. Especially if you simply do it because you want to know more about it rather than just because it’s fun, I think.
Liking routines and being ABLE to improvise are not the same as liking routines and LIKING to improvise.
You you like routines then that means that you’d rather have them, but sometimes you plans fail and you need to improvise. That’s just like me. And that’s what they mean when they ask if you “like routine” on AS tests.

finally, people have always found me to be mostly normal but a bit weird to where they couldn’t put their finger on it. i’ve always felt different to where i couldn’t really relate to them. I tend to come off rude to people without intending to be or try to be sarcastic or funny, but they find it very obscure to notice it. I hate small talk find it difficult and do end up making the consversations one sided and about my singular passions. after reading these what could be my synopsis?
continued… I am not sensitive to light, i’ve always been athletic but clumsy in social situations as a kid. I am never able to really talk in a group. I was always erotic and impulsive as a child who was affectionate. However, I have lots of trouble looking people in the eye, extremely sensitive around new people or girls and women and am always very hesitant about trying new things. I also happen to be quite analytical and obsess over singular hobbies and passions to where people notice.
im not sure wether or not i have asbergers. I’ve always been able to tell as a kid if someone is bored, angry, sad, happy. I used to be a door to door salesmen who sold 12 vacuums in two months. I’ve been told interviewing for a sales job that i have good people skills. However, it is very hard for me to connect with people, make friends on my own. I like routines and i do like to plan ahead before doing things, but i can improvise and am a very messy person.
The self correcting issue is a big problem for me. If I say something, I keep thinking about what I’ve said and the possible interpretations others may make of it. Once I realise one negative interpretation, I panic and start saying that that isn’t what I meant and why that isn’t true etc and it starts to sound like I’m trying too hard and it must be true.
Then there’s the times I write an email and find it’s come to a chapter or three in length when it’s a response to a single line message…
You are very articulate and do a good job of debunking myths. You basically say that words are all we have so we might as well use the best ones.
This is a really good read for me, Must admit that you are one of the best bloggers I ever saw.Thanks for posting this informative article.
Usually I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this article really forced me to do so! Thanks, really nice article.
That is a great article, but I was wondering how do I suscribe on the RSS feed?
Good tutorial, web optimization does not seem fairly as tough now
Wow! Thank you! I usually desired to write in my site anything like that. Can I take part of the submit to my blog?
that was awesome!?
Very good stuff.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
very good article. i trust to apply some of these in my blog. thank you!
Hey, I just adore your posts!
is it alright if I use some of the information from this blog post if I make a link back to your site?
They have these yummy bars called Belly Bars, they are soooo good. I saw them at Babies R Us, but I am sure you can by them anywhere. They are super food for a pregnant woman and baby. I wish I was pregnant again so I could justify eating them!

You lost me, buddy. I mean, I suppose I get what youre saying. I get where by youre coming from. But you just appear to have forgotten that you can find people available who can see this problem for what it really is and may not agree with you. You seem to alienate a total bunch of men and women who may possibly are already fans of your blog.
