Timeline
- I told the truth (that an expert claimed I have Asperger's).
- I acted stupidly afterwards and made fun of the situation (in ways that could be considered offensive to others with Asperger's)
- I lied about a medical doctor diagnosing me to get Justin off my back
- I felt pathetic about doing so, so I then told the truth (that a psychotherapist, not a medical doctor, claimed I have Asperger's)
- I got annoyed and made this thread because I figured people would just believe what they wanted to believe anyway (that I'm lying for attention). That was stupid of me and confused everyone and I don't know why I did it.
- Here I am now, arguing with people that I have a form of autism, which is pathetic. I already have no credibility here, and I admitted to lying about part of the situation, so no one believes the things I'm saying that actually ARE true.
Alright, I think I'm finally ready to stop posting about this.
At least we're more intelligent than you neurotypicals.Quote:

I'm willing to give you guys the benefit of the doubt however and say that the myth probably has a factual basis. But remember, it's statistics we're talking about, not some sort of guaranteed trait. There are indeed plenty of autards with staggering intellectual capabilities, but you can have aspergers and still be dumb as fuck.
In any event, humans are a social animal and it's our social skills that put us on the top of the food chain and allowed us to outcompete all lesser homonids into extinction. Two days ago I ate deep-fried shark while watching a bear ride a unicycle on youtube, and that was possible because of humans social abilities. Not our analytical abilities, not our opposable thumbs, but the ability to communicate and co-operate with others from our species.
I'm not saying autards are less than human, exactly. I'm just saying you're lesser humans.
Justin, come on dude. Seriously?
