Auties, Aspies, and other CloudCuckooLanders!

You're in good company here, at least.

Would a person with serious OCD, such as myself, be welcome here? I was misdiagnosed with Asperger's when I was younger, but it turned out to not actually be that. I've had uncontrollable compulsions for my entire life, and I've always been prone to believing things that I know aren't true, if that makes any sense. I was never really given any treatment for it, save for being sent to a remedial class in middle school, but that was mainly designed for kids from abusive or otherwise unfit households.

I think that falls under and other Cloud Cuckoo Landers

Am I the only aspie who finds the terms sperger and sperging funny?

Heh, sperg.

I think I have autistic tendancies but I'm mainly just very ADD and a tad OCD, thought that's just about organization and that kind of thing. I also used to check to make sure something was I did was done, even though I pretty much knew I had done it/would check right after doing it. As for aspergers, my mom thought when I was little I might have had it, I still lack in social skills, but I don't have to have things always done in the same routine like people with aspergers typically do.

My PM box is always open to anyone who wants to talk/vent.

I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS (autism spectrum disorder), but I tend to say Asperger's for the sake of simplicity.

Aspie!

I tweet, therefore my entire life has shrunk to 140 character chunks of instant event and predigested gnomic wisdom. And swearing.

Depression, possible bipolar disorder along with several personality disorders here!

I only tend to have bipolar mood swings when i'm in a generally depressive state. Does that count?

My PM box is always open to anyone who wants to talk/vent.

Professionally diagnosed Aspy here.

The main problem I encounter on The Internet is the inability to differentiation well-mannered jokes from personal attacks *

. Otherwise, I'm pretty fine, as most of my other problems in Real Life are avoided on The Internet through the ability to think out posts for hours (if I need to) rather than having to give my response within seconds.

I feel you there, Though most every I've spoken to has this issue, both AS and NT.

Hmm. Yep, am still an Aspie (sits down)

In an anime, I'll be the Tsundere Dark Magical Girl who likes purple MY own profile is actually HERE!

Hi, everyone. Aspie here. At least I'm pretty sure I am.

Looking for some stories?

Hi. I write shit that comes into my head.

Have I already called myself one?

Diagnosed at an Early age High-Functioning Autistic here, though it doesn't show to a lot of people I know, probably because of therapy at that early age.

"You'd never do something as irrational as dying."

Diagnosed high functioning Autistic/Aspergers, here. Would not have it any other way.

Put it this way - I can just show people a part of the many things I've written and everyone thinks I'm mad.

It's both annoying and flattering, I must admit.

When I was five years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD and traits from AS. Now, as a sixteen year old, I have been diagnosed with actual Asperger Syndrome.

I find the worst part of the diagnoses to be the stereotypes. A lot of people seem to have gotten the idea that all people with ADHD is constantly swinging in the chandeliers, and that every person with AS is a loner with no social skills.

Besides, am I the only one who hates the whole Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! thing?

I hate it.

Yeah, it is so annoying... I mean, I have ADHD and take medication several times a day, but that doesn't mean that I cannot concetrate or cooperate with people.

I refuse to take medication but I do fine*

without it

Believe me, medication really helps. When I started to take Ritalin, my grades skyrocketed, simply because I could concentrate on doing my homework properly instead of just making a sloppy mess.

I'd rather learn to control it on my own even if thats the longer and harder route.

Of course, that is also a choice. I have thought about stopping with the medication a couple of times, but every time I stops taking it, I kinda lose the ability to coordinate my movements properly, and ends up with feeling like a bull in a china shop.

That's understandable, it's just my personal choice.
