Reliable information on about autism
I thought i was ok having a son with autism-so why do i cry every time i read or watch a program about autism?
When i hear the word autism or hear a commercial about it my body freezes my heart beats fast and this overwhelming state of sadness and fear consumes me. like now..i love my son so much but does he know that? this is all my fault. Its all my fault.
Why would you tell someone about autism?
I hear a lot of people with autism say how people treat them differently after they talk about their autism. The thing is, what's the point in telling them? What good does it do? You're still the same person, and they should evaluate you on what you display, not some preconceived notion about autism.
Isn't the way that people talk about autism very offensive towards people with autism?
People love dramatizing autism, using words like " suffering" , or " epidemic" . I have autism, and it seems really weird to me that even though supposedly autistic people don't have empathy, it's other people that fail to take into account our feelings on the matter.
People who know about autism, could i be autistic?
I heard about autism asperger and read some of its symptoms, and I found that I match them.I have very little to no social interaction with others.This is because I just feel weird around others I feel like I don't know what to and if what I'm thinking of doing is it even right to do or say.I try as much as I can to avoid people. I usually get judged badly because I don't talk much and I'm a bit above average in intelligence. They think I'm stuck up. With teachers, I can't keep eye contact so they get a bad vibe from me.I'm a bit of a perfectionistSound.... I can't stand loud music. I'll listen to loud music when I'm angry. I remember that when I was little I used to cry when my family would go to parties and the loud music would be playing.In my speech, I often stutter and when a word starts with a vowel, I have a hard time saying that worsI have a daily routine and if I don't follow it I get angry and disapointed throughout the whole day.Whenever I get nervous, for whatever reason like around people I have either be doing something with hands like moving them around. Sometimes I have my phone or my handheld video game to keep me busy. Sometimes, I flap my legs.I felt so uncomfortable that I did what I could to graduate high school early. I succeeded and finished it in 3 yrs. Now, I just turned 18 and I'm attending a community college. This is even worse because the people around me are much more older than me.My mother said that when I was younger 2 4yrs old , I had no interest in toys.I used to line up coins along the edges of the walls where the carpet and wall meet for hours.I played by myself and eventually got into video games.I'm doubting this because nothing was wrong with me as a todler. I started walking at 9 months I was smarter than others. I had no delays.

Why do people make a fuss about autism?
Seriously, why? I mean, there's all these TV shows about autism, surely the world knows about the existence of autism by now? And it's not just autism they do it with other conditions too, like Tourette's, or Down's. Yuh, I think we all know what they are by now...I mean I didn't mind it at first, but now it's just becoming... a freak show That's literally what it is. I turned the TV on the other day, and what came up? " Autism The Musical." Autism.The Musical.Seriously, whut?? What is this? Awareness or exploitation?? What next? " Multiple Sclerosis The Ballet" ??Someone explain, please. I'm obviously missing something here. Why all the fuss about all these syndromes?

Does it kinda frustrate you when people don't know about autism?
I understand that a person might not be familiar with it. But, it really makes me frustrated when a person smirks about it when you explain it to them.
Could someone explain to me about autism?
A question about autism diagnosis, please respond only if you know what you're talking about?
evidently diagnosis of ASD developmental disorders are only warranted if they cause impairment, but this is meant directly right? i ask cause i'm diagnosed with social anxiety, depression with psychotic features i don't believe i ever was psychotic though, not going to elaborate on that and have significant problems with attention not diagnosed add but am being treated with medication the way i see it the depression seems to have been caused by sa, which was caused by my issues with attention and odd social behavior. as i understand it these sort of issues occur together with autism, but that would be an indirect cause of impairment and thus wouldn't warrant diagnosis right?two things christian minister 1. don't assume you understand my issues. 2. if you're going to lift a quote from some doctor to support your views, run a google search instead of devising your own.scott i'm talking about social anxiety disorder. ok, i should have provided more details as far as my autistic traits lacking in empathy, lack of eye contact, fidgeting, pedantic speech however, the question is not so much about whether i personally have the condition it could be easily answered as if it involved a hypothetical scenario where the person did indeed show autistic traits. but the " sa" thing probably ellicited your response, at any rate please address my actual question, thanks.scott i guess the question is more involved than i thought. based on what you said, particularly the part about not viewing the social anxiety as irrational something that I stubbornly believed in therapy and part of the reason sa behavior therapy was so unsuccessful for me not to mention a lack of recognition for my attention issues it seems that autisms more applicable. i was under the impression that i only showed autistic traits, i.e. that i merely fit into the Autism phenotype profile..... i guess i'll have to mull this over for a bit.
