ok

>>2865957
So does 80% of all cosplayers.

>>2865960
So do. So do, not does. Does is for the singular.

>>2865963
Assburgers detected.

I have assburgers, you jelus?

When I was a kid my parents were convince I had it. Luckily for me, my doctor and the psychologist they took me to were both committed to their work and told my parents to knock it off. I was just a quiet kid who liked being alone, could draw well and read 5 grade levels ahead of my age.

I talked a lot to people I knew and in isolated situations. I just shut up in groups. So my preschool kindergarten teacher was like "OH FUCK." and panicked my parents.

I have Pervasive developmental disorder NOS.

ahahaha wutttttt this is going to turn into a whole what is your mental disorder thread.

CITATION NEEDED

inb4 adhd.
yeah mine is not self diagnosed. I take pills to keep me acting like a moronic retard on crack. love how every weeaboo I meet tells me they have self diagnosed adhd and thats why they are so loud/crazy.

>>2866015
I have assburgers and adhd also, could you tell?

i was diagnosed with asperger before, and didn't want to admit it. but the more i think about it, the more i see it might be true.

No assburgers or autism.
Though I have Major Depression Disorder.

i've been diagnosed with autism but i'm not. i am socially awkward as crap because of bullying that still lingers though and my dad is pretty sure he has aspergers.
but it was a shitty test anyway, in a language that i hadn't been speaking for like 6 months. and i wanted to get out so badly so i just filled in really short answers. apparently this was bad.
whatever, i'm redoing the test in another country anyway. if they decide i have austism too i'll believe it.

I think it falls as a form of autism, I was diagnosed with OCD last year. However, its virtually gone now after lots of work. It does seem to be rather common with cosplayers.

omfg I am normal. just wasn't hugged enough while a child.

>>2865964
helpful correction != aspie, hurrdurr

go back to /v/ manly tears

No aspegers here
Just my plain old generalized anxiety disorder

>>2866045
You would fucking know if he had that. Thats not something you maybe about.

>>2865957
Asperger's doesn't exist, you're just too much of a repulsive fuck for anyone to want to talk to you.

Aspergers and Autism are like boobs.

It's better on a woman.

I dunno. Maybe I do have aspergers, or maybe I'm just really fucking socially awkward. I'm convinced I have ADD, I've just never been clinically tested. I function pretty damn normally, so I also don't care, but human nature is curious....

>>2866224

ITT Everyone self-diagnosis...es themselves with ADD, Aspergers, or OCD

Why the fuck would anyone want to say that they have a mental disorder? I'm so fucking scared to get diagnosed with anything, even if it gets me permission to take Ritalin so I could concentrate in college and shit. My mom has paranoid schizophrenia and I'm scared as hell that if I have anything close to a mental disorder, I'll degrade into getting schizophrenia.

>>2866228
I actually have been diagnosed with OCD when I was younger. Everything had to be even with me, to the point of a nervous breakdown if it wasn't. I had to own an even amount of shirts, I seperated my M&M's by color and then ate 2 at a time, one on each side of my mouth. If there was an odd number, I split that one in half.
It was crazy. I dunno why the hell it stopped. I guess I grew out of it, if that's even fucking possible.

>>2866247
>I dunno why the hell it stopped.
Because you don't have OCD, and played with your food as a kid just like everyone else

>>2866228
I have mild OCD, everything on my desk is lined up parallel to an edge. Or maybe that's just because I value efficiency... LOL I dunno anymore.

I have every mental disorder possible. True story.

>>2866228
But yeah, this.

I do have minor OCD. I'm a counter. At least I always have something to do, even if I'm staring at a plant or some shit. Just count its petals and leaves. Pisses me off when they're not an even number though. Prime numbers really suck since I can't split them into perfectly divided categories.

>actually replying to a manly tears thread

>>2866228
I mildly have all of those, as well as mildly have a case of HIV and Parrkkiaawnc parkinsons.

>>2866273
I'm mildly dead

>>2866276
Bro, me too. Cept it changes from mildly to severe on some days.

>I hear autism is more prominent in cosplaying than videogames.

el oh el.

>>2866284
So you agree.

none of you have autism GTFO

what i see here is a bunch of socially akward faggots that are looking for a crutch to use to attempt to be social. l2notusecrutch faggots

>>2866297
You obviously don't understand how hard it is to learn something when one has aspergers, so next time before you blurt out l2<something> maybe you should think about that.

Where was that autism test everyone was taking a while back? the results from that were great.

>>2866244
Oh man this. Though I really disagree with the way they pass out prescriptions for everything. I was diagnosed with ADHD and "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" (even back then I loled at that one. It's called being 14) when I was in 9th grade and they had me take Aderall (sp?). I flat out refused to take it. Unless it's really severe, meds for mental/psychological problems seem pointless to me, and may do more harm than good. After seeing my brother medicated to hell (he needed medicines for the side effects of the medicine he was taking, now that is fucking bullshit), it's a terrible cycle and I would rather do anything I could to avoid it.

CourageWolf.jpg

OP I love your image so much.

>>2866303
But they're just self Diagnosing themselves with aspergers and don't really have it, then they should actually be able to L2<something>

I only suffer from Sexlexia, but I'm doing my best to cope.

Aspergers, and a girl. Didn't even know I had it until recently.

>>2868857
But I see the retardation is alive and well.

>>2868864
Alive and kicking!

i have no mental or physical disabilities.

>everyone is just a social retard and pretending to have some made up disorder excuse their pathetic behavior

Pro tip guys: society wants you dead.

>>2866254
Dude, honestly, there was MUCH more to it than just the food. I just don't feel like e-arguing about 'OMG U GUEISE IM SERIOUZ! I HADZ OCDEE!'

>>2868863
More power to you, Anonymoe~

>>2866247
You can, although it isn't necessarily a typical thing. For years when I was a little kid I was so paranoid about germs that I would start crying all the time thinking that things weren't "clean" and I washed my hands so much they would be cracked and bleeding pretty much all the time. Now I probably care quite a bit less than the average person about germs/sickness/cleanliness/etc.

>>2868926
that's not autisim, that's OCD

>>I hear autism is more prominent on 4chan than videogames.

Fixed that one for ya champ!

Dignosed with Aspergers at 8.
Always believed it utter bullcrap and just a way for the school I had been attending to excuse the physical abuse I went through.
I mean, seriously, they said I had "Borderline" Aspergers.
Want the hell does that mean?

>>2869325
it means you're on the border of the autism spectrum, on the border of normal. the serious case and they're on the whole other side of the spectrum.
>>2866215
aspergers is not considered anything different from autism here, and it's not as widely diagnosed as in the states. (aka a child is bullied OMG AUTIST)
he's pretty sure but it's not a pleasant thing to diagnose yourself with.

like half the people online I'm a self diagosed aspie. I actually find it somewhat interferes with cosplaying and going to cons.

>>2869398

Please kill yourself.

I'll admit, it's kind of cool not having any self-diagnosed mental disorders.
Or any externally diagnosed ones, for that matter.

Really? i guess that why i've always felt a little more "on the ball" then your average cosplayer.

I was diagnosed with aspergers when I was in middle school, but I'm pretty sure I'm just a spaz.

>>2869347
But wouldn't that just make me socially awkward?
How the did they figure out it was Asbergers? Where does "Normal" end and the disorder start anyway? That's all I want to know.
(Cos, you know, believe it or not I'm one of the few people who don't like being dignosed with some retardation for no reason.)

Firstly, you don't have clinical OCD unless it takes at least a specific (and somewhat debilitating) number of hours in your daily routine to satisfy your compulsions. Everyone has SOME little behavioural quirks that are obsessive-compulsive (I can only eat fries in even numbers, excepting a single one), but that does not equate to a disorder.

Secondly, a lot of Asperger's and ADHD diagnoses are a result of laziness on the part of doctors. Some want to please parents desperate to pass blame, while others simply want to get troublesome kids out of their surgery by medicating them, but the criterea for calling something Asperger's are so vague and common that if you actively seek to be diagnosed, you will be.

None of the above are excuses to act like utter morons.

No autism or any of the kind.
I do however suffer from PTSD. Shits not cool man.

I don't have any mental disorders.

Unless you count paedophilia.

I was diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, and I think depression back when I was a kid. I was given dat Ritalin and had to take Clonidine before bed so I could calm the fuck down and sleep. (I have hyper tension.. maybe thats why they gave me Clonidine.) Afterwards I started getting put on stuff like Adderall and Zoloft to control my inability to pay attention in school.. I kind of cut it all cold turkey style the minute I went into high school.

>>2869565
oh please, being emo because one time some boy rejected you is not PTSD

I have ADD, but not hyperactive. I no longer take medicine because the pills given to me didn't exactly help my depression problem. And they made me feel sluggish and drowsy all day.

>>2869758
also just to , I think my ADD has calmed down if that makes sense.. I do well in school now without the medicine and I can pay attention. It's weird.

>>2869557
oh, i know it's not pleasant.
usually they make you do some kind of test. if you filled in short answers, you are autistic. if you pay too much attention to the details while drawing and not drawing the overall thing first, you are autistic. if you don't like people, you are autistic. if you don't like going new places, you are autistic. if get very excited about the things you like and not that keen about talking about the things you're not that interested, you are autistic. if you don't make eye contact, you are autistic.
>>2869561 pretty much has the answer.

Asperger's, not self diagnosed. But you know what? I took that diagnosis and used it to better myself. You CAN memorize facial expressions to some extent. If you work, you can make yourself a little better. Don't use it as a fucking excuse, just tell people straight up you have it and ask them to correct you when you read them wrong.

>>2869750
I have it cause I saw a loved one die many years back. Besides, its not self-diagnosed. I have doctors' papers on it.

Here you go! Find out just how aspie you guys are: http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

Here's mine.

one of the anon's that was diagnosed with autism.
i scored better than my sister, who is not at risk for autism.
ha

Your Aspie score: 25 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 174 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical

Your Aspie score: 149 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 52 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

This explains much.

I noticed that every poster who said that they had O.C.D. used perfect punctuation and grammar in their post.
Wait, I did too, didn't I?

>implying this is proof or evidence to being an autist.

>>2870319

>>2870319

>>2870341
>Your Aspie score: 186 of 200
>Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 25 of 200
>You are very likely an Aspie

>>2870343

I never thought about whether I was an aspie or not but apparently I may be one.

How accurate is this quiz anyway?

If you're under 90 you're not an asspie
If you're over 90 you have social anxiety
Over 130 son.. you're an autist

>>2870352
>57

Obviously not be thankful.

One thing I have heard before in threads like this and one thing I hate is how people are like "DOCTORS ONLY SAY YOU HAVE ASPERGERS SO THEY CAN MEDICATE YOU!"

Uh, no. Aspergers has NO SET MEDICINE REGIMEN. There is no cure or treatment of Aspergers or autism that you can take in a pill form. Sure, you can give them Adderall or whatever, but that's like putting a cat in a car seat -- that's not what it's for.

The only thing I can think of that might be considered a regimen is the "glutein-free diets" that some parents use on their children. This diet has had NO PROVEN EFFECTS (some anecdotal effects, though) on autism whatsoever. No idea why people still use it.

Standard treatment of autism and Aspergers is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I believe. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the most effective treament for lots of disorders, and this is no exception.

Alright, rant over.

>>2870383
Tried this and it didn't help.

Your Aspie score: 34 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 168 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical

akdsasjd i am pretty obnoxious/hyper irl
i'm guessing the questions about getting distracted easily upped my score huhu

>>2870411
means you're normal.

lol seems like people WANT to be diagnosed with mental disorders so that they have an excuse for being freaks that nobody likes. It's ok to be speshull, but you shouldn't want to be.

>>2870383
Saying that the gluten free diets show no proof of working is bullshit when there are studies being done on them that say that they do in fact show some sort of improvement in some cases of severe autism. Just because we don't understand how it works doesn't mean that it doesn't work. Dietary therapy can be used to treat many different things believe it or not. I used to be a skeptic as well until my mind was recently changed by seeing real results, however not related to autism but epilepsy.

>Your Aspie score: 19 of 200
>Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 181 of 200
>You are very likely neurotypical
damn, guess I really am a normal fag

I have asperger but I think the circumstances of need forced me to "get over it" in a sense, since no one knew or cared about it when I was a kid. I didn't speak until I was three years old, at which point I also taught myself how to do simple math. My teachers had me put into special programs for "depressed" children (I was the only one in the whole program) when I was in elementary school. Fun times.

I still have some mild social retardation, AKA foot in mouth syndrome but for the most part I learned to deal with it.

I can get where the score's coming from. I don't feel awkward in social situations, I'm not clumsy, not easily confused. But I'm very easily distracted and have fairly unusual ways of expressing myself, so I answered pretty high on all of those questions.

Your Aspie score: 50 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 163 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical

minus my desire to be alone a lot of the time and feeling overwhelmed with a lot of social contact at once, I guess I'm pretty normal.

Your Aspie score: 88 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 108 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

lol, I'm down the middle and average in everything.

>if you pay too much attention to the details while drawing and not drawing the overall thing first, you are autistic.

God I had this problem pretty bad. took me forever to get over it.

Does this mean I'm boring?

>>2866244
This. There's schizophrenic psychosis, bipolar disorder and panic disorder on three different family members of mine. I was devastated and scared to death to notice there was something wrong with my mental health too.

I was diagnosed "only" as depressed and anxious though. Nothing good, long-term psychotherapy and mild happy pills wouldn't fix. But it does not bring me any feeling of pride whatsoever. My mother is the only one I have told about it.

I really, really can't stand the romanticizing and dignifying of mental disabilities.

i took the quiz and i got
"You have answered inconsistently on too many control-questions"
So does that mean I dont have it?

>>2873113
no, it means they think you're filling in unhonest answers.
or you have some symptoms of autism.

these things make such pretty shapes

>>2873113

There are several questions in there that have identical answers but the questions themselves are worded differently. You probably gave different answers for them.

Your Aspie score: 94 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 115 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits
~~~

I'm extremely solitary and have issues with loud noises and people getting in my face. I prefer being alone and I can not for the life of me figure out why humans are supposed to be social.

Huh, that's weird. I thought being scared of the sound of motorbikes and really disliking people walking behind me were my own speshul quirks.

>>2873172
That very thinking makes you a retard, compounded with the actual retard quirks makes you a doubleretard.

Your Aspie score: 166 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 33 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

The fun part?
I usually just break down and cry when people (especially adults) ask me questions.
My mother sent me to so many psychiatrists when I was younger and I couldn't even talk to any of them.

>>2873176
Care to elaborate on the first part? Did I miss a memo telling these are some common traits?

>>2873191
The first is your thinking you're special. Now I know Mr. Rogers said you're awesome and shit, but being afraid of motorbikes and not liking people walking behind you isn't what he meant. The latter being, well. There's traits among autistic people, it's kinda only obvious when you put them all in a room.

>>2869763
I was eight and have no memory of taking a test like that. So does that mean they just slammed the "Retard" thing on me for fun?
If anything, the reason I was like that was because of the shit I went through while attending that school, so really I should've been getting psychological help and not "Aid care" like I ended up having?
Anon, the world is fucked.

>>2873207
Lol. Never did I claim to be a unique snowflake etc. Was also trying to make a joke of it by spelling special as speshul y'know.

All I meant is that I've never met anyone that would feel the same way about motorbike noises and people walking behind you, which is why I was surprised to see the questions in a test like that, implying that this is in fact common.

Clear now?

>>2873207
>implying social retards wouldn't display similar traits, especially when you can mind fuck people here by posting images like "take your hand away from your face and uncross your ankles".

>people share behavior traits, especially when people have similar interests (oh fuck 4chan)

>stop looking for excuses you pathetic fucks

>>2873213
well, i live in europe so it might be different in america but i really think that wasn't a good approach by your doctors and they were probably overkeen to diagnose.
i feel for you, anon. :(

>>2873223
Wouldn't? No, I'm implying they would. People do things, put them in a place where they can interact with one another and people start realizing they do the same thing as others with doing the same activity. It's the same as throwing all the autistic kids in one room, 4chan being our room.

And anyone looking at this test and taking it at face value is a retard unto themselves, get help from someone with a good history and degree in knowing what the fuck they're talking about and quit filling out questionnaires hoping you can self-diagnose yourself with "OH THAT MAKES SENSE NOW" bullshit.

>>2873242
As a med student:
Autism is an opinion based diagnosis. That test has no opinion therefore might be a better or worse diagnosis depending on your status.

>>2873236
I'm Australian.
Pretty much Europe but hotter.
I hate doctors and people who think it's cool to be autistic.
Because it's not. Everyone treats you like your an idiot, constantly reminds you to behave, you have to have a crazy "Personal Aid" woman follow you everywhere because she thinks your going to blow up the science building.
Fuck all you anons who "want" to have aspergers, or self dignose.
Seriously.

>>2873242
I'm pretty sure most of the sensible people here are doing the test for the lulz. The less sensible people don't care what you're ranting on about. So good work here stating the obvious.

>>2873263
ah, is australian medical care good or bad?
i know how you feel, anon. ever since i got diagnosed with autism everyone's been ~*~extra nice~*~ to me. but it's badly disguised pity which i don't want.
your case seems way worse though and you should try getting another opinion, seriously. in a different country if you have to.

I have a minor case of aspergers.

Your Aspie score: 107 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 108 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

I've never been diagnosed with anything, but my brother has been diagnosed with assburgers. My mom uses it as a crutch for him, of course, while he and I have some bad personality traits in common, (of course I was responsible for my own behavior growing up, didn't have a crutch to lean on.) I think the symptoms we both show are part of being raised by a mother with mental disorders, rather than the disease its self.

Although I'm pretty sure he is a true aspie, he can still learn to be a functioning member of society like I have. I Hope every day I'm as normal as apple pie, but growing up with an emotionally and financially unstable household, that will never truly be the case.

Maybe studies should be done of how suspected Aspies are being raised, If they come from stable, nurturing households, I think it's more possible that they are true Aspies rather than just kids with social and emotional problems.

>>2873331

>>2873331
Households with autistic people adapt to the autistic person. You might be reflecting your brother's aspergers.

>>2873358
That's a good point. I know some of the traits were there before he was around though.
Woah, I didn't even think, but he might have learned some of his behavioral traits from me...
ugh.
I think other than a few problems relating to people though, and being socially awkward, I'm fine. I probably just scored as high as I did on this test because I'm really clumsy, and can't keep track of things.

Saw this thread and was surprised. I have Aspergers but I normally try and deny it to avoid using it as a crutch but am amazed how many people here said they were diagnosed with it. I remember a few years back everyone and their mom had add and this seems to being becoming more and more prevalent.

>>2873337
Lol Australia.

Some teachers: He is very intelligent but lazy

(I have dyslexia and dyspraxia)

I still can't tell the time properly and i struggle to even do my shoe lances up for some reason.

You might think i am retarded but i cannot handwrite at all without making horrible spelling and grammar errors.

>Being thrown in the retard classes
>Being made to have a helper
>Had to be fucking I.Q tested and it came back as being above average.

Online tests are fake just so you know, if it requires "math" ability it really means fuck all.

>>2873536
bad handwriting is another symptom of autism.
