I'm socially awkward, but that isn't a huge issue most of the time. It might be for some people though. Quoting: Lime Flavoured Redux Yeah it might be when you have absolutely no friends, and every birthday is like any other day of your life. I feel like I am 40 years old and all my friends are dead. Wait I'm 18 years old, I'm homeless thanks to superstorm Sandy, and nobody could give two shits. All I can say is that I don't care much for this country at all. Sounds like you have it worse than me then, so you could probably be classed as disabled. It's true. I really am disabled, but I accept myself that way.

If you would have read that thread about Gluten it would be obvious why I was talking about that. People with autism cannot digest the proteins in wheat, and when it get's into the bloodstream it travels to the brain where it causes a false-opiate like reaction.

Yes, it's a manipulation tactic. Quoting: wooz 14660467 Actually it was my opinion long before the doctors found out. Jeez. What if I had no legs. Do I need a doctor to tell me I can't walk?

[link to money.msn.com] some companies are actually looking to specifically recruit people with autism. "Even my psychiatrist told me that he wouldn't employ me. And I know you just have to look at me to know that I'm different and don't fit into the normal workplace," she told German radio. Now she works as a software tester where her memory skills and attention to detail are highly valuable. "Finally I feel I have something to offer," she said. i wish you well sir! |

I don't feel I'm disabled but I need to decode rationally and consciously things "normal" people do without thinking. If you can learn to function in society, even witha little extra work, don't feel like you're disbaled, because you also have some realy good qualities. I have it and will soon be a certified psychologist or so I hope. |

Good for you, you didn't fall for that! Back in my day we used to say people were shy, slow, and we let it go at that and let them work it out on their own with no special considerations. We usually found the way ourselves. Yeah life is a bitch, when will people learn sometimes it just aint fair. Move on and quit trying to help everyone and you'll find out, most had it all along. That kind of thing will ruin 100 people to "fix" just one. Give a sound man a wheelchair and in a month he won't be able to walk.
