Maybe learn what being an introvert actually is, you dumbfuck.

>>2120501
I'm introverted, but I don't think I'm autistic.

It's hip to have a disorder, it's hip to be autistic, aspergic, schizophrenic or a bipolar sociopath.

I don't know why it happens.

I can, because it's actually under Axis I in my medical chart that I have an anxiety disorder.

It seems to me these days that it is too easy to get a disorder.

>teacher, i can't read this shit.
Oh, you must be dyslexic, we'll give you that label so you can use it as an excuse throughout your life.

>I am out of breath
Shit, you have asthma? Quick sit down and don't bother developing healthy lungs to counter act it at all.

It ruins the children because they believe that they can't work properly any-more, so they have the excuse and get lazy.

>>2120523
I believe you missed my point.
It was that people who are introverted can't find a reason that they are anti-social. So they hear about autism and diagnose themselves online, when they are simply introverted all along.

>>2120550
this is what my doctor believes
>bro doc

>>2120501
But introverts all inevitably become crazed serial killers. They must be isolated and studied to protect everyone else.

>>2120591
>implying you don't get extroverted serial killers who are usually more dangerous since they can fool their victims and investigators easier

Why do you assume that autism is the only mental disorder?

>>2120641
It is the most common self diagnosed one I have experienced.

>>2120651
Really?
I always thought anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder and depression were the ones people self-diagnosed for sympathy.

I've been diagnosed with Asperger's but I don't think I have it, I think I am just introverted and nerdy, which is the opposite of what you're complaining about I guess.

>>2120664
True, but pills can help those things, with autism young men self diagnose and say "don't be mean to me, I'm autistic", and what not.

>>2120664
you see that more in females

>>2120683
This makes a lot of sense especially with the bipolar bit as they equate moodiness to being bipolar.

>>2120664
All you mentioned is commonly diagnosed by a proper mental health professional. However, bipolar disorder is really the new ADHD--just about everyone is diagnosed with it. Even people who are qualified to give diagnoses are over-diagnosing it when they're not really bipolar.

schizoid personality disorder reporting
diagnosed by not one, but two psychiatrists!

>>2120501
Oh god, that really rustles my jimmies. Autists and aspies can be extroverts, in fact, they usually crave attention from people. They just don't understand and process things the same way. I think the problem is that most people don't really know what these disorders are.

Extroverted Aspie, clinically diagnosed at 12, here.

>>2120701
>psychiatrist
lol check this fag, cant even into a psychologist

I hope to see a GP about my anxiety and possible depression as I find shit like that is inhibiting my work and times where I find it hard to relax.

Hopefully the doc will be forgiving and gimmie some pills as I have no medical history (see begging) and my mother had persecutory delusional disorder, social anxiety, and paranoid schizophrenia.

>>2120725
Your doc might do so, but at the same time, give you the condition that you go to regular therapy sessions while being medicated with some type of medication.

>>2120721
This fag doesn't even know the difference between a psychologist and psychiatrist. Haha wow what a faggot.

if wish i was truly autismal because then i would have an excuse for being a friendless introvert and there would be doctors and support groups of people trying to fix me.

introverts do not garner sympathy and certainly do not reach out to each other for support

>>2120705
lots of aspies actually are extroverts. i don't have a diagnosis, but i probably am on the autism spectrum. when i was younger i used to walk up to people and just start talking,but the problem was that i didn't know when to shut up and i couldn't pick up on their irritation with me. when i was about 12 i kinda started noticing it, so i stopped talking almost altogether, and i'm pretty introverted now

>>2120721
Psychiatrists not only prescribe medications for mental disorder, but they also do a lot of the same stuff psychologists do. As such, they're sometimes the ideal person to go to. The only difference is that they tend to focus on the medical model, whereas psychologists focus more on cognitive-behavioral models for treating the disorder. However, psychiatrists are trained in the same exact stuff. As such, it's just easier to go a psychiatrist.

>>2120737
Of course and I have no problem with that particular stipulation. I'm 27 and want to get my shit finally stored. I am becoming addicted to stress as my only motivation in the morning after I quit energy drinks a few months ago.

>>2120550
>I am sad
Oh no, looks like you have depression. Take these pills everyday and it'll be better.

>My child is energetic
Sorry to tell you, but they have ADHD. Give them these pills to calm them down.

>I get nervous
Looks like you have an anxiety disorder. Don't bother facing your problems, just take these neat-o little pills.

>Sometimes I'm happy and then sad
A travesty! you have bipolar disorder. It's not like mood swings are uncommon for 99% of people (read: women) or anything.

>I don't eat because then I'll get fat and no one will like me
What has society done to us! You have anorexia!
(or you're just a pussy little bitch lol)

>I should have been born the opposite sex!
Gender identity disorder is on the rise!
(or you're a fucking faggot, lol)

>>2120754
most kids are annoying idiots, though
if you are able to pick up when you are annoying people you're not an aspie

>>2120799
i still have a hard time figuring it out, even with people i like. it's why i don't talk much, and it's easiest to assume i'm annoying everybody around me because i probably am. i learned my social skills from books about improving them, so yeah. otherwise i'd have no clue about the significance of body language and facial expressions in interaction. i'm completely tone deaf, but if i wasn't i'd try to use tone of voice to figure out what other people are feeling. i've been told my voice is pretty monotonous, and i'm pretty bad at self-expression. also, females are less likely to receive asperger's diagnoses because they're forced into social situations more frequently and exhibit fewer traits

>>2120787
might I ask: If I haven't seen a Physician in like 10 years, how much bloodwork will I have to go through to some prescribed? I'd ask an aunt but I'd feel like begging for a cheat sheet.

>>2120725
I saw the doc, he gave me a questionnaire.

ADHD and PDD-NOS here. It would've been autism if I were more rigid. I prefer to do whatever comes my way instead of actively establishing a routine. Now everybody's trying to make me make routines, it's pretty fucked.
I'm actually extroverted, but I fuck up.

>dis-order
>cannot into the difference between introvert and outcast

op confirmed for below average iq

>>2120918
I'm not sure how to ask given my anxiety and all and I'm not really a conversationalist (thus being on /r9k/). Would something like "I would like to be evaluated for depression/anxiety"?

I have shit written out to prevent a spaghetti-infused blinder as I will probably be too nervous to ask without some guideline.

Severe (diagnosed) social phobia and anxiety.

Yet, for whatever reason I have a job in retail. It's supposed to be to help me but I feel like shit afterwards. Especially when all my co-workers are lel XD so randumb!!!111

>>2120961
I work in retail as well and my help doesn't speak english well so I have to awkwardly give directions to clueless customers.

>So, how many of you claim to have a mental dis-order?
I don't think I have that I just happens to think a lot.
Just because I can't concentrate on a boring conversation doesn't mean I have ADD,
Love this guy, he is pretty spot on
