I have only mentioned having AS once or twice. I can recall 5 times at most. I don't think I've ever used it as an excuse for idiocy. The only excuses I have ever used were: "I was drunk" and "I have anger problems", which were true at the time of my postings. Either way you seem to have missed one rather salient point: I used to use satire a lot in those days.

Sounds like a challenge. Anything in particular you want to debate about, or are you just piss-taking?Emperor Jeramyu wrote:the treatment for which is not pills, but a solid ass-kicking.
The correct term is Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Also, if I were you I'd avoid using the term "disease". Some people with AS can be quite touchy. It's best if you use the word "condition".tridon777 wrote:Its a true neurological disease
Why would anyone want to fake having AS? You only have half of the benefits of being Autistic (and this varies widely) and practically none of the benefits of being an NT. I guess nerdy people could fake AS to gain acceptance in the Aspie community, but we tend to catch on to wannabes quick.tridon777 wrote:could fake having AS
Really? How so? I'd say I initially come across as an arrogant and insufferable know-it-all, but not a Narcissist.Angel_OA wrote:I always thought of Sling as more of a Narcisist.
Strayed Wanderer wrote:People fake or rather, act like mild AS is actually an uncommon issue for the sake of having an excuse to do something poorly but accept even greater praise on anything they do well. It's the same issue that people have with ADD/ADHD.
Too many kids are diagnosed with such a mild form of the condition that it is pointless to actually acknowledge it. The variability in personality, intelligence and every other trait within the human race is just too great to call slight detriments a disease or disorder.
That's rich coming from you. I tend to reserve douchebaggery for fuck-wits, but maybe since that is all you have experienced of me, that really just explains it all. I could dignify you with a reasoned response but I don't like to feel the need to feed your ever growing ego. Your post was, just like 100% of what you say, nothing but non-sequiturs, cariactures, straw men and vitriol.Strayed Wanderer wrote:I'm going to take the low road here, and just make the statement that you are an insufferable douchebag. That is your disorder.

Wikipedia wrote:A medical condition is a general term used to describe an observation made that can have an impact on the health of an individual. The term is sometimes used when a study encompasses a diverse variety of clinical entities, such as in the evaluation of generalist care. Although the phrase is sometimes equated with disease, usage of the latter term can be questionable in some contexts.
Wikipedia wrote:In human beings,"disease" is often used more broadly to refer to any condition that causes extreme pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, and/or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant behaviors, and atypical variations of structure and function, while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be considered distinguishable categories.

Wikipedia wrote:In medicine and psychology, the term syndrome refers to the association of several clinically recognizable features, signs (observed by a physician), symptoms (reported by the patient), phenomena or characteristics that often occur together, so that the presence of one feature alerts the physician to the presence of the others. In recent decades the term has been used outside of medicine to refer to a combination of phenomena seen in association.

If I wanted people to leave me alone at High School, I would either a)beat them up or b)walk off/ignore them, depending on the nature of their harassment. Most times people didn't bother me or get on my nerves. Being alone, like being around others, is a two-edged sword. Both are good, just not too much.tridon777 wrote:Just to have people leave you alone. Believe me sometimes being alone is more relaxing. I never have faked AS, but sometimes you just want to get away from all the BS and drama of high school.
