Hello everyone,
What I'm about to write in this thread is not for the diagnosis, but for re-assurance as it to confirm its exact details beyond reasonable doubt, I would hate to have this end up where I get "warned" or this thread gets deleted or closed just because I have a personal opinion I'd like to share with you all.
Lets clarify on where my background roots have with Christianity: first off, I sincerely disprove some Christians who insist on "seeking the Lord's help" for a diagnosis that may be misconstrued, second, being that I am not yet Christian, I find its more appropriate to lean towards being a Christian in the real world, this means having a balance between believing everything your shrink says to excluding logical reasoning and by replacing it with religious dogma.
No, I'm not a "Satanist", I am someone who holds to their own free mind of situations such as these and I tend to observe them, what does this have to do with Aspergers Syndrome you ask? Keep reading.
I believe in modern benefits, but I do not believe that modern day science and spiritual topics are one in the same, from what I've been noticing, I see the same exact behavior being repeated from a majority of Christians primarily in this section of the boards, they often find "seeking help" or "connecting with others who share the same train of thought and coping skills", if you really want my honest opinion, I will tell you that it is beyond a doubt that it is nothing more than exploitation of whomever has been diagnosed and you are doing only furthermore to supress it. I don't doubt what doctors have to say and pass it off as here se, but doctors and scientists are not always accurate even in their profession, just as a priest is not perfect and is still open to sinful acts.
Remember that each and every human is different, why must it be classified as something when it's clearly just human nature? You may "think using pictures" so what! Oh boy! You must be autistic! Good at math too huh? AUTISM!
Yes, I was diagnosed in early childhood with this very same thing, I came to realize throughout self evaluation and being honest with myself (as well as elevating my standards of potential) that I'm not autistic to even begin with, you could look at it from these aspects:
If a person hears voices and starts hallucinating, does that make them a schizophrenic?
Or is it possible that person has spiritual afflictions? What about a little something called (a fundamental factor that continues to decline even amongst church goers) demons? Doesn't the New Testament teach of demons and their abilties to pull the strings through others? None of you in this forum can point out to me that somewhere or another these "behaviors" listed in the stories of Legion and etc. where not at all alike to what modern day doctors call "schizophrenia", at the same time, you cannot say demons are metaphorically used and were referred to as in physical illnesses, because in the bible, it makes it very clear they are sentient living beings who carry out dark acts upon mankind.
The same can be said with Aspergers Syndrome, it is as simple as that, another example for you Christians out there is the assumption by many skeptics that the parrerells between Mithras and Jesus conclude that Jesus was a mythical figure based on other earlier mythical figures, yet if you do the research, not only are there more differences than similarities, Mithraic religions show signs of what are considered "demonic" (and even the sign of the anti-Christ!)
Today we have put our focus into a very small crease, and we have become very narrow minded in such a way it leads to madness, insanity, and following things without questioning for logical reasoning like a flock of blind sheep (take a good look at the equation, if we were not meant to question, why we were we given intellect to do so?)
My diagnosis was finally agreed upon with my family, that I do not and have never had autism, even though I may have showed signs of it, does not conclude a full confirmation, just as there are similarites between Mithras and Christ, there were more differences between my situation and the symptons of Aspergers Syndrome.
Here are some of the things that are commongly listed with autistic folk (allot of which doesn't even occur within my mental state.)
1) Caculating numbers and equations and solving coded like patterns - I'm going to be honest with you, I suck at caculating numbers in my head, and it would take me years for me to crack any sort of code unless I had an instructional manual.
2) Fantasy world aside from reality (fictional concepts based on imagination which are turned into states of perceived reality) - the only time this crap was goin on in my life was when I was nine years old or so, so what's your point?
3) Obsessive tendencies - hey, everyone is obsessive here and then, and it can range in many different ways, I can for the mostpart tell you all I was able to self refelct and in no time I had developed a multiple track mind, I'm sure there are many more of you that can too, all it takes is perserverance and having street smarts, which in time, everyone is expected to develop sooner or later.
4) Hyperactivity - for me being hyper were just repeated phases that I had difficulty evolving out of, however, the reason this was an obstacle was because my stepmother had often treated me like a little child and never had any expectations, nor did she expect me to function to any expectations, with a little liberation, (I'm now living with my sister and brother in law) I was able to break through the hopelessness of confined rumors which turned out to be nothing more than just someone who never took your time seriously (she's Catholic, go figure) and treated you like you were a retarded two year old (isn't life just a trip?), to add to this, allot of these "tendecies" and whatnot were developed by two factors 1) my parents treated me like a child, 2) I acted out of rebellion (I even urinated in the back yard leaving a big patch of dead grass for my stepmother to ponder on, mmmmm!)
5) Difficulty making friends and social interactions - enviroments can map out allot for a person, and can cause them to act in strange and bizzare ways because they're surrounding influences never gave them the assurance or the space to mature out of these characteristics, I am rather upset that my parents would rather spend time on how to treat me like I was handicapped instead of trying to understand my values and actually take them seriously, have it known, I have never had complete trouble "making friends" and in most cases I have random people get acquainted with me at the start, there's no reason to assume that I was naturally incapabale of being social or interacting with others in an innapproriate way.
Anyways thought I'd share this with you all, I hope for other people's sake that you don't do what my stepmother did and give others a chance instead of patting them on the head like toddlers and just expecting them to act a certain way upon their diagnosis, it's rather cruel and insensitive, and it ruins a person's potential to succeed beyond difficulties they may be facing, everyone has different ways of "comprehending" and thinking, and a diagnosis should not be the explanation for some because it isn't, above all, make a dinstinction between others, and compare them with your own behaviors, your loved ones, and etc. etc.
Glad to have been of service.
