How do you shitposting aspergian's deal with the 'tism on the daily basis?Do you still unironically think that's a disease that must be cured?Or is it just another genetic burden like Tourettes and Parkinson's?
>>34525956>Or is it just another genetic burden like Tourettes and Parkinson'sYes, although more manageable depending on your severity. I reflect on cringe moments and try not to repeat them
>>34525956Genetic, wouldn't call it a burden even. Autism is the least of my problems
>>34525974>wouldn't call it a burden even.even if it causes a few hiccups and / or trips and falls that might make you look like a fuck-up?specially on public settings
>>34525977Yeah fair enough, still not a significant problem when you're older and can control that stuff for the most partIt has some benefits too like making your personality more interesting
>>34526029>making your personality more interestinghow can an autist achieve this considering autist's in general have difficulties talking to people.you have to know yourself to near perfection if you want to have decent charisma when making oneself mildly interesting
>>34526047>how can an autist achieve this considering autist's in general have difficulties talking to peopleTalking to other autists or people who have an appreciation for autistic interests lol. I like that I'm not a normie.If you want to improve your social skills in general, being in an environment (job/school/club) where you're forced to use them helps a lot.
>>34525956Out of those options, it's most similar to Tourette's - they're both considered neurodivergent conditions, together with ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, and various other things.
I am mostly fine with my Aspergers/autism. Dealing with unspoken social cues and reading between the lines is annoying, yes, but I appreciate the increased objectivity and being less influenced by peer pressure and similar biasesI would 2000% want a cure for my crippling ADHD tho
Learn how to do independent research as a special interest for a while, and over-time you learn how to adapt to batshit insanity that is neurotypicals.
>>34525956unironically, how does one know if they are autistic? I feel that I understand social cues quite well and can hold natural eye contact, but when I am around women I feel like I might breakdown crying.I also feel like my face and eyes do weird thing when a woman is talking to me, so I try to ignore them when they look at me or try talking to me.There are other things as well but I am not sure if they are autism.
>>34525956>another genetic burden like Tourettes and Parkinson's?It's more like left-handedness, frequently inconvenient but nothing to be ashamed of or obsessed with
>>34525956When I'm explaining to people what it's like, I usually compare it to learning a language. When you learn your first language as a child, it is essentially effortless and instinctive. Learning a second language as an adult takes a long time, and a great deal of hard work, and no matter how hard you work and for how long, you'll always speak it with an accent, and occasionally get things wrong.A normal person's ability to understand other people's feelings, and to predict how they will react to things, is like learning a first language: instinctive and effortless. To me, it is something that has required decades of studying, and I still sometimes get things wrong. Also, unlike learning a language, there are no dictionaries, no textbooks, no tutorials, no Google Translate, and no subtitles; and most people that you meet don't realise that people who don't speak their language as a first language even exist, and don't understand why you speak so strangely.
>>34527480i think it of as the following: Imagine getting high to borderline psychosis but at the same time not really.Sounds weird but that's a way to describe it without making it too over-complicated.I know this isn't 100% of the time, but most of it is
