A very, very quick description/rant on Aspergers.Related content
Comments: 15
This explains my brother a ton. However he was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3 instead of 1 because the doctor didn't want to deal with him.
The one thing i always ask is that if they love water. (My lil bro is this way.)
I always appreciate seeing these informative descriptions.
I, myself, do not have Aspergers or Autism, but because i grew up and live with a person with Autism, i understand what its like for them.
(I love every one of you guys :3)

x_x I almost want to try and live another life, just for the chance of not having aspies..

Yeah, I had a problem with those who self-diagnose.
Admittedly, after I had been diagnosed and started reading about it, I can quite easily see how people can self-diagnose because when I first started reading about it, it was as if they were writing about me.
It's not hard to recognize the traits in yourself once you know what they are. It's like reading an instruction manual to yourself.
However, I do believe some self diagnosed Aspies are bunging it on because they want some sort of attention - and I hate that!
P.S.
Ever since my second diagnosis, Asperger's has been my Special Interest for around 2 years and going strong almost 24/7!

I do, truly. And I know all of these feelings. X( I was diagnosed at a young age, so I have had time to work with it. But it still affects me in life that people just can't seem to wrap their heads around.

*le sigh* I hate it when people are just saying they have it without a legitimate diagnosis. It makes it so hard for the rest of us who actually have it. I was diagnosed when I was fourteen.... I seriously didn't like the way the people looked at me during the test. I felt so, so judged. I wanted to glare, but for some reason, I didn't.

I actually was diagnosed with Asperger's. At least, I'm told that I was; I was 5 years old when I was diagnosed. Can I assume that you've been diagnosed with it, too?
Anyway, I've never heard of people who don't have Asperger's using itΒ as an excuse for rude behavior. But, I have a theory as to why someone might diagnosed themselves with Asperger's: They're jealous, because they're normal and we're special.

You could assume, yeah. Though my diagnosis has been changed to 'autism spectrum disorder' so I could get the help I really needed instead of a set list of accomodations.
I've seen a few people use it as an excuse. It pisses me off because it reflects poorly on those of us who are also on the spectrum. I know I'm working to overcome my problems. If anything, a disorder is better 'used' as an explanation instead of a get-out-of-jail-free card.
One of the big reasons why people tend to diagnose themselves is because they see a (likely minimal) list of traits that the average 'Aspie' tends to show, and decide that's what they must be. Humans like to label themselves but aren't quite as fond of it when someone else is doing it for them.
Correction: they're neurotypical, and those with autism are atypical. One is not better than the other.

It is to me. Having Asperger's makes me feel special.

Alright. If that's what you take away from having Aspergers, I won't argue with you. Your truth is your own, and mine is mine.

People that diagnose themselves and don't say that they may have Asperger's and instead say that they have it don't make any sense even to themselves.

it's really one of my pet peeves
there's a reason why people go to trained professionals to get diagnosed: because those people know what to look for
people who self-diagnose don't have that training

Even with a lot of research, they can't really know everything that there is to know that a psychologist knows about.
