I also have no friends and looking back now I think the only reason people were friends with me was because they felt sorry for me Quoting: General Thade Nope. Your just a lazy, loser with low self esteem and an inferiority complex. Par for the course these days. |

Plenty of online tests from reputable places that can give indication of traits Try this out. [link to www.clinical-partners.co.uk (secure)] |

It's a buzz word these days to just label people. True autism used to be defined a lot differently. You probably are just an independent thinker who doesn't conform to modern mainstream norms. Be patient, the quirkiest people I know have had the longest and most compatible marriages once they found their person. |

Do some things you want to do but do them for you not for others or to meet people. Pick a hobby or something positive just for you and go do it. Pick a personal path; Pour your passion into it. If you meet others along the journey great. if not that’s fine too. Damn the ramparts. |

A serving british admiral says his aspergers has helped him get where he is. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80362883 Its not a curse. Its a blessing in many ways. They think differently and have tremendous focus when they choose or are interested in something. Very intelligent and gifted. |

You have empathy so the evil ones are attempting to shut you down, develop a complex so you socially distance. You have just got to get out more thats all. Most people are wrapped up in themselves, they have a friend or two from hs and a job, possibly they have family. That's it. Thats the norm. |

But 'they disturb' the source of your power (and have been since at least 1998), the Sun via spraying. Keep holding onto the Light and you will find LOve then when you do, you will find the ultimate form of Love is Agape. Strive for that and look into the Cathars. Soulless fake humans are already AI. They get triggered by particular words, symbols etc. They can't really bother about the meaning. They just look for the trigger words. Their language & comprehension skills are 0.

Here's some people who did just fine with autism or asperger's (and the introverted traits helped them): Anthony Hopkins Elon Musk Vladimir Putin Andy Warhol Bill Gates Richard Branson Nikola Tesla Dan Akroyd Courtney Love Tim Burton Hans Christian Andersen Charles Darwin Albert Einstein Steve Jobs Stanley Kubrick Michaelangelo People are people, some win, some lose. There's plenty of miserable and despicable people who have no problems with girls, if that is your focus. It just takes effort, or maybe you just care more about other things and appreciate the freedom of being alone. Remember, we're all alone anyways. My parents are divorced/remarried and they sure as hell aren't happy with their significant others! My dad pretty much told me my conception ruined his life! However, with the new "woke I support the current thing", I identify as an disabled autistic Hispanic investment banker with no criminal record and PTSD. Oh, you say I don't?? Lawsuit! |

What with all the fluoride in the water, countless vaccines you've had since a baby, all the poisons in water and food, other chemicals and radiation modern society pummels us with.

My doc put me on neurexan and it does help. By my own obervation I suspect I have poisoned nerves in my butt. Have you been vaccinated? And I don't talk about the covid ones. I've received so many shots in my youth and my last ones retriggered my neurodermitis. As it says it's a neural illness. These jab-poisons destroy you in ways it's hard to find out. |
