My new baby

[Celticgoddess]

if i didn't have AS though, the chances are things would be different in most, if not all of these ways:

youd get bullied less at school
youd be more independent, live alone
youd have girlfriends, relationships
you wouldn't have other things that come along with AS like social anxiety and depression

obviously some asspies can live alone and have relationships, but it's a lot harder and many of us can't do it at all even in their 20s and 30s

my being a retard might be interestong and entertaining to u cg but i find it shitty 

Since when did I say I found it entertaining? If you think I'm laughing at you, you're wrong. I'm not.

Yes, i've had relationships but I've fucked all of them up. I'm 34 and still figuring my shit out. But I guess for me I don't want to change who I am. I manage my worst symptoms as best I can, all of them through medication because without it I can't function.  I'm not saying you have to agree with me, soph. To each their own.

Soph, you're a lot less fucked up than I was at 21, and I didn't have any idea what the hell was wrong with me.


You've got a lot of years ahead of you, and I see you making positive steps and heading in the right direction to make them very happy years.


You're a smart dude. You're going to be just fine. You'll have struggles, and I think you know that, but you'll make it.

^ Well said.

You make of your life what you can, and you take whatever is thrown at you and deal with it the best you can.

yeah and most autistic people can't make much of it no matter what they do

Relationships WILL happen (and if they don't, who really cares?).

me, for one. i would like a proper relationship and it is 99% not gonna happen - mostly because of autism, although granted there is also the looking young, being trans and generally not being very good-looking or charismatic. but without AS, i could get around the problem with my looks and even my gender

I know of plenty of people who DON'T have AS who would kill to be able to do HALF of that stuff.

obviously there are alsoNTs who are failures , but you are even more likely to be a filure if u have autism. my last shrink came up with this shit too - "there are people without autism who can't do some of the things you do - wow omg you should be so proud"

that most of us are too fucking dopey to have be having babies lol

it's probably a good thing i can't properly have kids really, as i might be tempted one day if it were that easy. i doubt i'd get through the adoption process though  :lol:

i got the feeling u were improving your life over the last yera or so? back at college etc
u definitely don't have to be a failure with other stuff either. i mean you could do the whole get married, live in your own place, have a career, family etc. i can see that as something you can do (if u wanted to) i mean. whereas i will be here living with my mum when im 40 lol

Sure.  

Soph: You do know that I was not picking on you, or anyone when I said what I said to you. I think you are one of the coolest people I've come accross on the net, and I think you will really go far with whatever you do.  

[Celticgoddess]

Sweet. This solves the whole "I'm not gettin any lovin'" issue that most of us have.
