What kind of stories are you looking for?

.........Please try to understand the bottom line, research if you really have this illness, I can tell you one thing, I'm not autistic, if you can type legidbly and can communicate with others on the internet, I can assure you that you are a normal coherent person, make that an imperfect coherent person, as are we all.

That's my input for now, cheers.

Wow. Just wow. To discount anyone who says they have AS is mean and hurtful. To say that anyone who can type automatically doesn't have AS is extremely wrong.

My husband is an Aspie. He's a member of several debate-style forums and is fantastically eloquent when he has time to think his words out. When he meets people for the first time, he tends to withdraw into himself because he doesn't handle social situations well. An extended trip to the grocery store, surrounded by people, makes him want to run for the door. His online persona is actually further proof of his AS- the sterile world of online interaction is much easier for him than real world social scenarios.

The fact that you wrote well over 1000 words in your post, with few breaks for readability, suggests to me that your diagnosis is correct. You weren't writing it as a conversation, as social cues on forums like this would dictate. You were fixated on your point, and went on about it. Pretty typical for an Aspie.

There's nothing wrong with having AS. My husband is the most fascinating and brilliant person I've ever known, and I couldn't imagine him any other way.

"Doctors are now diagnosing "depression" as an illness, what a load of crap"

Thanks a lot, so the darkness which pulls me down - makes me so sick it seems like cutting my main arteries would relieve things (I've been empowered in therapy to not do this). To be almost incapacitated at times because I feel so disgusting and drowned in this "depression" IS ALL JUST MADE UP???!?!?!!?!

How dare you decide what depression is and is not. I'm not saying the medical profession has it totally right, but I know for sure that some things are very messed up in my mind and depression is as good a name as anything else. Saying I don't have "depression" because it's not real doesn't stop this sickness, it doesn't give me any more strength than I already have.

I think my depression is logical when you consider how socially isolated I am for most of the time, how I struggle to connect with even the most tolerant, loving (We are talking holy spirit maxxed out loving here, you can't love better) people (who are my friends) - it makes sense that's gotta hurt inside and imagine that across a person's whole life (e.g. my life) - the cumulative effect is what I have now which is this extra disease of my mind.....

I seriously doubt that this debate is what the OP was asking for.

I haven't been diagnosed... But I experience this all the time. When someone asks me "How are you?" I have no clue what to say. But responding to posts is so much easier.
