News of Asperger's Syndrome Forum

I'm having this and my other account deactivated. But just before I give Jasmin the go ahead to nuke them, I figured I'd make one final thread on here on the subject of AS. I'll have my account deactivated very soon, but there's no reason why I can't lurk here without an account and read what other people have read.

The first question I want to ask is: Would you want your kids to have ...

Does anyone know the main differences between the two?

Do AS experience strong emotions, but just can't express them? Or do they rarely experience strong emotions like a schizoid?

schizoids don't wish to socialize, while AS want to, they just don't know how to?


Can you develop schizoid off of your AS?

anything else I'm forgetting please add. I'm starting to think I may be more schizoid than AS again. A lot of the things ...

As far as I know, I've never been a "hand flapper." Lately I've been finding myself doing something that I would definitely relate to flapping. It's more of a rapid wrist-flick really. Here's how I would best describe it: Arms down at my sides, one hand would rapidly twist or flick as if I had a bracelet that was stuck too high up on my arm, and I was trying to shake it loose to ...

Everyone always asks me "what's wrong" or says "you look miserable". I'm really getting sick of this nonsense is it really expected that I should smile at every waking moment. Why would someone do that?

Hello,

I am new to the forum, and after a lot of reading and revisiting my childhood, I have strong reason to believe that I have asperger's syndrome and would like to request feedback. I realize that a psychiatrist, psychologist, or social worker's diagnosis is necessary to confirm the presence of the syndrome however I'd like to have other people with asperger's comment on my experience and share their thoughts. Because I will effectively be ...

So, what do you think?

People say you can, they say you make your reality.

But it really is not a question of can or can't, but rather will or won't.

If you can, but just won't...

Who can you blame, what to do :lol:

Hey

I know many of you there identify with the title, but don't, let me explain.

I feel often a bit lonely, I would like to be with people more. Just like most AS people, I enjoy being alone and don't need that much socializing, but couple of good friends might not hurt. But I do have good social skills, I can go out there at people and talk to them and don't have any ...

I hesitate to ask, as I don't think there are any easy answers here and everyone is different, but I would be interested to hear people's experiences of medication for anxiety/depression.

I have struggled on and off with anxiety and depression over the years, with some medical intervention which was not very successful (although this was before my AS diagnosis). I understand from internet searches that some medication works better for people with AS, so ...

Are your problems a result of yourself or of other people or of something else?

I would say that all my problems, which are by nature more questions of internal dialogue and viewpoints, are a result of myself. I am the source of my problems.
