Can people with asperger's be rude and selfish?
like they dont care about other people's feelings and they say and do rude things but dont think they're doing anything wrong? i know this guy whenever we hang out all he does is what HE wants to do and never has any concern for how i feel and he insults me and does and says rude things. when im at his house, and if his other friend is there, they'll go upstairs and have some private conversation and they'll text each other probably saying something about me and they do it right when im there. this guy's doctor filled out a form saying that he has severe asperger's. like when i get to his house, he might ignore me and go upstairs and take a shower and gets mad at me for no reason. do people with asperger's act like this?
What are examples of symptoms of asperger syndrome?
A counselor asked me today if I'd ever been diagnosed with asperger syndrome and I haven't. The counselor didn't go into more detail about it. I looked up some of the symptoms of asperger and I can't be sure from the vague descriptions given. can someone give me personal examples of asperger?
Mutation with certain grandparents caused asperger syndrome in 2 grandchildren?
My grandmother has 5 offsprings. Two of them, the only females had a different father than the other kids. The other grandchildren seem ok, but 3 grandchildren with the different grandfather have either aspergers syndrome, or a speech retardation. These two daughters are my mother and aunt. Both of them have only males. My older cousin has a severe case of aspergers, but his behavior resembles of one who is truly autistic, he has no dreams for the future, he is 20 and wishes to live with his mother without working. He speaks in a depressing low tone, he looks down when he walks and has been pretty aggressive with girls when he was in high school, He flunked two grades and he only interacts with my 10 year old cousins. He got kicked out of a 1 year institute for having bad grades. On the other hand am 17, average student, and well I'm abit crazy, I'm a big dreamer. I hardly have friends but I am friendly, I am quite independent with all I do, and contrary to aspergers my life is a big disorganized mess, starting with my room. I'm really childish but mature as well. Heck my mother is proud of me that Im moving to another state to start adulthood in several months. I'm talented in drama. The third grandson is my 3 year old brother, he is too young to determine any type of problems or syndromes but, I can't say this correctly in English sorry but he is very late in speech development, he is also receiving therapy to help him. Could it be possible that a certain combination of my grandmother and grandfather's genes have caused this problem?Additional DetailsNo, the psycologyst, doctors, psychiatrists diagnosed my cousin and I. I DID NOT DIAGNOSE ANYONE LOL. And my brother I dont know still, but he has speech problems.Forgot to mention. I was diagnosed with ADHD as well.Great grandfather had Schizophrenia

How likely is this person to have autism/asperger's syndrome?

Do I has asperger's by some chance?
I've considered the possibility in the past, but it's been too stressful for me to even consider. But, I was looking up by " symptoms" and I've found something astonishing one of these symptoms is right on. As previously mentioned, a defining feature of AD is that obsessive thoughts surround involvement in an activity or area of specific interest. For example, an individual with AD may have a restricted interest in the area of trains. The high level of interest in this area may appear obsessional however, it is important to bear in mind the definition of an obsession. By definition, obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that cause marked anxiety or distress. Individuals with AD typically do not experience anxiety or distress surrounding their area of interest. In fact, they derive pleasure from it. However, in OCD individuals experience a marked level of anxiety or distress. Therefore, ways to further differentiate AD and OCD is to assess whether the individual experiences anxiety or distress related to his obsessive thought patterns or compulsions. If the individual derives pleasure from the repetitive behavior and not just pleasure from anxiety reduction, then this feature is more likely linked to AD than OCD.Showing an intense obsession with one or two specific, narrow subjects, such as baseball statistics, train schedules, weather or snakesThese are just... spot on. I'm 16 years old, I might mention. I have pretty bad social anxiety but I don't think I'm actually incapable of normal socialization. However, this one symptom describes me to the fullest ever since about 2 3 years ago when I was getting out of a pretty bad depression. What got me out was me finding a hobby, and ever since, I've switched back and forth from hobby to hobby, and I tend to be extremely obsessive with whatever I'm involved in. Right now it is school and just academics in general there have been other things, though, such as exercising, weighlifting, dieting I don't have anorexia I could care less about being skinny and gardening and pets primarily fish and reptiles in the past. These obsessions usually get extremely strong for a few months then sometimes wane away unless I have some sort of external motivation such as with school . I tend to overthink and constantly plan everything, often to the point where I can't get anything done. Anyway, I'm already rambling enough, but if anyone could give me any pointers I would greatly appreciate it. I'm hoping to see my psychiatrist from back when I was depressed about 2 years ago, and hopefully he will have an idea of what to do with me.
Mom is being a b#tchy asperger, help!?
Mom is being a b tchy asperger, help ?My mom, i believe has aspergers, and some other emotional problem. She is so snooty that she will never see a doctor to help her. She always says its our fault because she is too busy helping us to worry about herself. While she may never be diagnosed, i am sure she has it because I have some sort of emotional problem probably the same , and my brother has autism to the highest spectrum meaning he walks around aimlessly making weird noises like an overgrown baby because he can't control his own movements . My parents have been in so many fights each one thinking the other is weird or insane the truth is they're both weirdos . Neither even tries to talk to the other about why they are fighting, because in truth they are fighting because they think they are better than the other. My mom is the worst though because keeps making everyone upset by saying rude immature comments. An example is she would tell my sis that she looked like a slut in her fotos and or her boyfriend is going to abuse her, she would continuously call me retarded or hint that i am when i try to do my homework until i fight with her, and to my dad, well he IS a guy, and she a control freak, so they both have authority issues. I don't know how to deal with her, everyday she says something either extremely annoying or rude, calls me a piece of every few seconds or telling me to go suck my friends name here dick. I mean, i tried everything 1 I tried talking with her about it 2 i try reasoning with her about why she shouldn't say those things. but she and my dad assume that i am trying to show off that i am the " King" of this house I swear i am not, I mean, wouldn't YOU become a " little" defensive if your mother splashes cold water on you everyday at 6 she says she does it just cuz she doesnt like me, AS IF I CARE ANYMORE , or threaten to kill you ? She tells me that she goes crazy because a she needs money and b because Im " retarded" i get bad grades . I am nowhere near retarded because my IQ scores are all higher than a hundred. My only problem is cognitive fluency aka cognitive functioning . I can understand that because with all my mental problems i have adhd, possibly autism, and all other mental abrasions brought on my child abuse and or childhood bullies . Another thing My sister is in college, and her grades were all 90's and hundreds, but my mom treats her almost as badly as she does me so i know there is no escaping her bitchiness she facebook stalks her because she goes to school a few hundred miles away Which besically means this I can't concentrate on my work because of all this stress I don't know what to do anymore the things i did, seem to be not enough Here, a list 1 Got a friend to help and understand 2 Pyschiatrist hopefully giving me concentration meds. ADHD pills 3 Got a new therapist. The old one assumed that all parents are instilled with motherly love and care. Try hugging my mom, its like stabbing yourself with a knife So anyways, before i left that reotten therapist i said that I learned more from a friend that i never hang out with than i did with her. My only problems 1 I have a hard time keeping friends, and im afraid that my " stable" friends are " supporting" because they feel bad for me, meaning if i do something stupid ill lose them. im kinda paranoid but if you were in my shoes you would understand 2 My parents won't let me see my pysch because they need to get money All bullshit they bought my sisses laptop and car just the other day 3 i haven't seen my new therapist because apparently we ran ot of money again. My parents would come into my room and bother the heck out of me because " they were watching helping me" , when all they did was hinder me by either taking too much charge over my homework or annoying the hell out of me. I want to stay in school, i want to go to college, get married, have sex, and make even more wonderful messed up babies jk but i can't work like this with so much stress PLEASE HELP ME Any ideas ?hahaha i would like your comment codey but im not lvl 2 yetOh yeah btw, my parents are asian and are by far the most stereotypical couple youl ever see, i mean if i was being raised in china, for every bad grade they would shove me into a bamboo cage and and poke with with a bamboo stick all day.Now i am not saying that all parents do this but still, it is pretty funny how they talk and act almost like Tong Lu Kim in southpark.I understand your point of view christian minister person but the truth is my parents and i really do have genetic disorders.Dude, my brother has full fledged autism, do you know what autism is ? It's nothing you would hope to see in your life. It is exactly like a 1 year old with an adult body, only half of their sensory issues they cannot control. To make this easier to understand here is a " tree" Weird mom Weird Dad autistic brother me with alot of issues super intelligent sister. It's all obviously genetics, 3 of my uncles killed themselves already My parents HATE diagnosing me and themselves with things you know why? because that makes them WEIRDOS because they created me. They refuse to see any slight chance of there being problems with their heads because they themselves are so messed up. Close mindedness only shows people's bad side of themselves, and believe me my parents are too much.And even if most of my emotional problems were artif
Will someone who has ADD, asperger's, a speech impediment and mild autism act like this?
i know this guy and i like him. i thought he was nice but as i begin to get to know him, he seems more and more rude and selfish, he seems to like to push his opinion onto someone else and when we hang out, he only does what he wants and he says rude things to me. he said i was ignoring him when i really wasn't, i have been seeing him everyday and hanging out with him everyday and asking him to hang out everyday and i was charging my phone and my phone was off and he called 8 times and got mad when i missed his calls, but i always call right back and text him back and didnt ignore him on purpose. and he says that i have communication problems and that i cant get a job because of it and it really offended me because i dont have communication issues, i'm nice to everyone and im especially nice to him. i never insulted him or yelled at him and was never cruel with him. he says he has ADD, asperger's, a speech impediment and mild autism, could that be why he acts like this? can someone who has these problems have issues with making friends and can they say rude things but not know it? he seemed like he didnt want to even talk to me anymore or be my friend. he got upset and really aggressive when i asked him a simple question and he made me very uncomfortable and it looked like he wanted to start a fight with me

I don´t think I have Asperger´s syndrome!!!?
A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with asperger s syndrome. The problem is that I don t feel like I have it. When I read about the symptoms on the internet I find it hard to relate to them. I feel way more nerotypical. I ve also made a few internet testings and they all come to the conclusion that I don t have it. It makes me feel lost and I want to know why they diagnosed me with it.Here comes a list of the aspergers related symptoms which I do have. In some occasions I find it hard to make eye contact. I prefer to wear the same same kind of clothes every day though I don t get anxious when I don t . Sometimes smalltalk can be difficult to me. I have a bit weird walking style and a slightly monotonous speaking pattern. I ve had some trouble in school because of my inability of structuring my work. Sometimes I might seem to be a bit slow I need clear instructions sometimes . The only person I want to be with on my spare time is my older brother. I m an extremely nervous public speaker though I am good at theatre . I ve never been good at sports. I have hygiene problems I didn t know how to use shampoo till around age 12 . During my teen years I have developed a fear for my cousins and sister. I can be extremely awkward around girls. I don t participate in other peoples intrests. When it comes to my own intrests I can be somewhat of a perfectionist. Sometimes I dont feel as happy or as sad as I think I schould.That s pretty much it.Here comes a list of the non aspergers related symptoms which I do have. I both read and make facial expressions. I have no problem empathizing with other people. I don t follow any daily routine. I don t feel anxious about change. I m not too logic. I can enjoy bragging about things I just don t always wan t to show it because I am a bit shy . I don t have any sensory issues not that I know of . When I was a kid I enjoyed playing games involving pretending. I do not get anxious around new people. I understand sarcasm and metaphores. My IQ is average if you have aspergers you have either high or average IQ . I know how to behave in social situations. I can be spontaneous. I am not viewed by others as eccentric. I don t feel like I belong on an other planet.I would really like to hear someone elses opinion on this. I don t think that I am the only person facing this problem after getting diagnosed.By the way... I am 16 years old.
Asperger's... I think i'm normal?...?
I have aspergers syndrome and I was kinda wondering if it was a very major condition. From the effects it has according to people who study it I can tell that I do not have most of them. I go to school on the bus, sit at the back with my friends, At lunch it's not like I sit alone, I usually again sit with some of my friends. After school I pretty much just play Madden and Call of Duty and AIM with some ... friends. I notice I have a few conditions but I do not know if my condition is TERRIBLE but I can't be sure.Hi, thank you for the helpful answers instead of just saying i'm weird. I was searching for famous people with aspergers syndrome... it made me happy to see that there have been successful people with Aspergers.I know this sounds stupid but would there be any chance that I could be like a baseball player. It sounds very stupid but... on my mom's side there was a shortstop for the Yankees Lynford Lary, A pitcher named Al Lary for the Cubs, his career was not so great. A Frank Lary, pitcher who was known as the Yankee killer, career ERA 3.49 and 1099 strikeouts 1 all star game and 2 21 games won seasons.And a Yale Lary who was a Safety Punter i know weird but went to 9 probowls,9 Time all pro selection, on the 1950's decade list AND A FRIGGEN HALL OF FAMER Can I be a baseball player???Sorry, im obsessed but According to Paul Hornung in 2004, he was the best punter ever, and he was in 3 out of 4 Lions won superbowls.
