Doctors coming up with new conditions

[Natalia Evans]

Lot of people here are tired of the snow and now want it to end. I don't care if they are suffering with their trash getting piled up, their cars getting stuck, getting trapped at places because of transportation delays, and of course people crashing their cars because they don't know how to drive in the snow.
Oh yeah, the kids might not get their toys from Toys for Tots for Christmas because whoever comes and picks up the toys haven't done it yet because of the snow. They can wait after Christmas. Santa just got a little behind so not every one got presents for Christmas because he hadn't come by yet.

I wonder if doctors will come up with a condition for that about not caring about what others are going through.

My nose is running, I must be a victim of LSS.

My nose is running because it's cold and nasty outside. I spent a bit of time in exposure to it, helping a co-worker get his car going.

I doubt that I could possibly ever have LSS. I am always delighted to realize that I was NOWHERE near the swath of scythes welded by those "Job Wraiths."  I think I dance a little inside each time I am aware that MY head was not the target.

Besides, I was "downsized"  (bullshit - I made too much commission on my work and had a great benefit arrangement. The company took my full-time, commissioned position  "apart"  and turned it into three part-time positions with NO commission or benefits to be offered)  once before. Someone else's turn, now, I hope!

When will they come up with smoke addiction syndrome? What about drug addiction syndrome too? 

what about asperger syndrome?
its quite popular nowadays, there was some people misdiagnososed in the 90s so i hear

Maybe I was misdiagnosed? 


I guess instead of my psychiatrist telling my mother "Mary, you have a spoiled selfish brat who doesn't care about anyone but herself and wants everything her way" it was better to say "Rebekah Smith is right, Elizabeth does have Asperger's syndrome. It's the closest match I can come to for a diagnoses. Use it to get your daughter through school and to get her the education she needs."

yeah i am a selfish brat that wants everything her way and is lazy and misanthropic.

"Mary, you have a spoiled selfish brat who doesn't care about anyone but herself and wants everything her way"

Basically that's what they told my parents for years. 

Maybe after you hit 30 they start looking for another cause and just pick what's popular.

Ouch, my hand cuffs are bothering me, too tight
Might we add a blind fold, might make it more difficult to struggle.

Maybe they ought to make up a condtion for people like my bf who has an aspie gf and our relationship isn't normal.


I remember Soph making up her own condition a while back. I think she called it Soph disorder. I think she did it to be funny though.

Anyone know who John Best is? He is the worst guy on the internet in the autism community who may have AS but doesn't think he does.
I could get into arguments with him and throw insults but because you can't win it and he keeps the drama going, he just isn't worth your time. But hey, at least he keeps Autism Speaks on NING interesting. Drama.

What he does, doctors ought to come up with a condition for his behavior. I shall call it Autism Obsessive Disorder.


What is Autism Obsessive Disorder?


AOD is a disorder when the person believes autism is a disease and they are brain damaged by vaccine. They spend their time fighting and arguing with individuals on the spectrum and with individuals who have a child on the spectrum or a spouse, partner, or a student they work with about autism being caused by vaccine and rather or not someone they know is autistic. They may have a blog talking about it and go around accusing individuals of not having autism and they may not understand autism and Aspergers is on the autism spectrum. They may also accuse autistic and Asperger individuals of being a fake.
They may display trollish behavior.


The symptoms must be onset for the past six months for a diagnoses.

Is there treatment?

Unfortunately no. You cannot not get them to change their mind and get them to realize how wrong and bias they are. They think there is nothing wrong with them. Arguing with them is useless because they keep the drama going and it never stops.

CAD reads like she's trying to make unfortunate but expectable reactions to souring relationships be pathological when they involve at least one partner with AS.

Personally, I suffer from Diogenes Syndrome: I expect people to act and think better than they do.

Myself also, but I'm usually disappointed.

I can identify very well with the "compulsive hoarding and reclusive tendencies", especially the later, becoming more reclusive with age it seems.
