    I agree about there is levels of conditions.
    Self diagnosis can handle at times on the wrong way,
    because there are up there good books or bad books. When people are looking for a medical book to look for symptoms they need to find the right one, and no one written by a amateur.



    A specialist can tell you what a person is having but there is non magic solution.
    I have seeing cases where specialists are trying to control a behavior problem but turning the condition to another more severe.



    Years ago a know the case from a girl who was diagnosis with autism in USA.
    The parents moved to England for business reasons. The parents told the school that they lost the papers from the girls previous school. Well the girl did great there.
    Still she knew that she had that problem. She wrote a book about her condition and how was to lived with autism.


    My point. We all have are own opinions about neurological problems.
    Some are more mild than others. Doctors can make mistakes but not all the time.

    I think we should not get offend with what everyone thinks.

    The neurological field is very large and complex.

    Unfortunately I feel like I should warn you that might not help around here.

    This gets done to me all the time.

    I took it to the mods.

    The mods ignored me.

    Then the mods joined in and started doing it themselves ( and continue to do so ).

    It's just something that's allowed around here.

    Its funny how we call them levels but its really a different ways we are wired thus giving us the appearance of higher and lower functioning autistic individuals. Ironically I was self Diagnosed at the age of 31. My involvement in Autism.org helped solidify that diagnosis. Yet I went to see a doctor and got help and therapy for depression and other issues when I was 19. She didn't diagnose me as being Aspie. Yet it was that training that I received that helped me after I realized that I was an aspie. My behavior therapy helped me understand what some of my problems are. Not being read faces puts me at a disadvantage. It took me a long time to realize where my faults are as far as being and aspie. But it didn't excuse my behavior and its a constant adjustment to behave the right way. Non autistics have it easy to read faces or do other things autistics can't see. We are not programmed the way you normal people are. You have it way easier in life. You don' find many aspies that are bullies.

    Oh and Autism Speaks advocates the false notion that Autism is caused by vaccines so they like to scare parents into not getting them. Thus becoming a public health crisis for all.

    If some missed exactly that post I am apologizing.

    Speaking of being brutally honest, a friend from group lost a job at a clothing store cause a woman asked her if she looked fat in the dress. It was a horizontal striped dress so it wasn't all that flattering. She told the woman that yes it made her look fat.

    Exactly where am I insulting you and/or others? Telling you you are wrong when that is a fact? Your above post is exactly why I say, Beez, just stop it.

    I share many of the same traits, but I have learned to restrain them because I know they'll get me nowhere. These traits aren't bad per se, but it is much like being able to burp out the national anthem - you do it when you're hanging out with your friends watching Monday Night Football and not when you're at the company Christmas party, there is a time and place for those things and a lot of people with AS really don't get that part which often impedes their ability to live a normal life.

    That is the problem with normal people, they don't get that those traits that impede us are not us being stupid or lazy but being incapable of say reading a face to determine a person is getting upset. I still can't read faces or body language but I have to look at what I am doing and slow down from there. I have to substitute what you can't read for what you are doing to make up for it. I still fail all the time and annoy people by talking too much sometimes. But I try and I keep going. ITs all I got.

    OK so now I'm up to speed on this thread, thoughts:

    1) SLG continues to impress
    2) lol, beez
    3) Kyle and SLG nailed the problem with self-diagnosis
    4) Massive douchewaffles call themselves aspies to excuse douchewafflery, get cut when people call them on it.

    Did I miss anything.

    I skimmed through and I only see two "douchewaffles" that are self-diagnosing themselves, and I think one of them was being sarcastic. Really, nobody except maybe one person identified themselves as aspie via self-diagnosis and then used it to excuse behavior. Even the OP does not diagnose himself. He says he suspected he might have it after his cousin was diagnosed and wanted to know where to go from there, the overwhelming consensus was to receive a professional diagnosis himself.

    Ender people laugh at me all the time, you are no different. That is why I am able to do the things I want, I don't give two craps about people like you.
    Although I have to laugh at you guys for giving credit to someone for winning an argument on the Internet. I mean really who really cares.

    Well since that last sentence wasn't a question, I needn't answer it.

    In any event, Beezel, bub, you perhaps ought care more about what others think. You can't simply chew through life assuming you're ok and everyone else has the problem; it's not how society works. Try, I guess, being less odd. You will always still be odd, since your capacity to accrue odd outstrips your capacity to shed it yet you might find a more engaging life awaits.

    There's nothing wrong with being odd... I think the word you were looking for is clueless.

    Do you mean odd as in unique and eccentric? If so, I'd say eccentric. Odd to me means smelling vaguely of cheese and seeing no harm in wearing the same underwear for several days straight. Oh, and posting beezel threads.

    I'd say cheese stink and dirty undies fall into the clueless category.

    that sounds like a coping mechanism for always losing arguments on the internet. "who cares anyway. why are we here. we're all losers"
    not everybody's here because they suck at life

    You don't think it's odd that a person could consistently smell of cheese?

    Yes, but it doesn't bother them. They think others are unreasonable.
