Asperger’s syndrome and related autism spectrum disorders have been recently discovered by the public. Those with such conditions are still misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated by professionals whose help is useless or harmful. My condition was unknown until age forty, when *I diagnosed myself* with Asperger’s. Autism, savant-ism, or a combination of several conditions might be more appropriate diagnoses. Other gigantic differences between myself and others are beyond the scope of this post. As for autism disorders, here are some basic facts:
People are born with these conditions; they never acquire them. Crooks in the psyche fields used to call it mental illness, but at least that lies was mostly dispelled. This awkward Regardless, there is either no possible cure for these conditions, cures whose side effects are too serious, or cures that are too expensive. Asperger’s and related disorders predominantly effect males, often a ten to one ratio Support groups for these conditions are centered in big cities and are often unavailable elsewhere. EVERYONE with Asperger’s has or had serious social problems. As a boy I not only suffered mistreatment and shunning at the hands of my peer group, teachers and other older adults reacted negatively and unfairly to me too. Even my parents didn’t understand me. So, they shut off emotional support and blamed me for things that my condition caused. Therefore, most men with Asperger’s are prevented from ever marrying.
EVERYONE with Asperger’s has a lifetime problem with learning. They can be either slow learners, are required to learn things differently, or are unable to learn certain things, while excelling in other areas. As for me, I lacked short term memory, or had invasive thoughts that made me forget. So, I never remembered verbal directions given in multiple steps. Therefore, most men with Asperger’s have problems finding suitable jobs. Some also have a nervous disorder. We may initially appear normal while others, such as those with Down’s syndrome, do not. However, our apparent normalcy may quickly fall apart. Since people seemingly think we have mental superiority, not disability, they expect superior functioning and social interactions, never saying or doing what they don’t like. This awkward pseudosophistication is seen as arrogance; people have assumed I was purposely offensive.
So, my speaking off-key was excoriated while those with immediately obvious disabilities usually receive sympathy. So, interacting by never mentioning a disability has failed. Rather, being upfront about the situation has helped somewhat. Instead, those with Asperger’s have been dishonest about who had these conditions. Einstein and Edison allegedly had Asperger’s merely because of childhood difficulties; labeling them as such supposedly creates respect. That’s BAD, as now we’re supposed to be Einsteins and Edisons when we CANNOT. Two people who likely had Asperger’s were chess champion Bobby Fischer, and famous artist Andy Warhol. Andy’s silence and feigned ignorance lowered people’s expectations of him; it was primarily effective. However, he offended thousands of people, never married, and was critically wounded in an assassination attempt by a woman, causing his premature death.
Bobby Fischer adopted aggression, which also helped in some ways while hurting in others. Though becoming rich and famous, he was constantly involved in personal conflicts, didn’t marry until sixty, was kicked out of the chess federation, kicked out of the United States, and died prematurely. Besides, maintaining a balance between these two extremes of being withdrawn or bombastic can be as difficult as walking while holding a board with a marble atop, and keeping the marble centered. An excellent movie about someone with Asperger’s is Ben X. Yet lies continue. A man claiming to have Asperger’s authored a book, selling millions of copies. In it he bragged about his early success with careers, hobbies, and women, and exploits involving malicious mischief and cruelty. Instead of Asperger’s, he showed signs of being a *psychopath*.
So, if you ever encounter his book, which cover features a freckle faced boy squeezing his eyes shut, *avoid it like the plague*; don’t waste your money or time. As for Elon Musk’s claim of having Asperger’s, this is a wicked, extremely dishonest attempt to manipulate others through compassion. He is a sociopath: a completely self-serving person with no conscience whatsoever. He has no mental condition of any kind, outside of his sociopathy. And ignore self-serving books written by parents about their Asperger children. Such parents have even interjected themselves into Asperger’s meetings and caused disruption of said meetings by badmouthing others with Asperger’s with the group. Such antagonists should be ejected or refused from every such group, and completely ignored. Instead, people should hear what people like us have to say.
Regardless, I do NOT defend most Asperger people. Most are antisocial and non-supportive. I only defend the approximately 15% of them who are often nice. The other 85% are like rotten society. The difference is that Asperger people have a higher average IQ and are blunter when speaking. Due to problems in regular High School, I escaped it, and entered an alternative program. College was too overwhelming, so I shortly quit. Though intelligent and hard-working, I was only allowed low-paying menial jobs. The work was either extremely tedious, dirty and degrading, such as cleaning up mouse droppings, or dangerous. A company had me shred paper for stuffing boxes, which paper contained used Kleenex, and half eaten food with bugs encircling it. I could not relate to coworkers, who often talked obscenely and purposely blasted smelly farts, while conflicts erupted.
Thankfully I was able to retire early and be financially secure via my parents, use my writing talent, and escape most problems by simple avoidance. Oddly enough, throughout my life people declared that I was highly intelligent yet treated me like I was stupid. And throughout my life people declared that I was nice but treated me like I was mean. So, *to Hell with society*. Since people cannot even get their story straight, guess who needs to go to the funny farm? Actually, society is the funny farm. A woman with Asperger’s coined the term “Aspie”, a nickname now popular for the syndrome. I resent this sissy sounding which cannot be taken seriously. Since this syndrome predominantly effects men, I came up with Asp, which is also a type of cobra. Serpents were often symbols of either power, royalty, spirituality, or wisdom.
Again, I was not purposefully offensive. Rather, I was upset and bewildered as to how to function socially. Though others can avoid social conflicts, people with acute Asperger’s or similar disorders cannot change certain behavior patterns. Many with unwanted conditions offend regularly, by words and/or actions. It cannot be pinpointed, perhaps brain wave conditions or broken sensors fail to differentiate between what is or is not socially proper. We cannot but see things differently. The authoress of a book on Asperger’s understood that we often give offense inadvertently, and so declared that Asperger’s sufferers should apologize whenever that happens, although they feel no need. Yet that is an attempt to burden someone with constantly apologizing for something natural to them, besides their burden of mental disability.
Instead, society should be *extra tolerant*, instead of being *prejudiced piles of poop*. Thinking bad about someone becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. As long as we view intelligent people with mental handicaps or personality quirks as evil geniuses, crazy idiots, or mad scientists, cycles of conflict and rejection perpetuate. In a couple of extreme cases, young men on the autism spectrum murdered people with an assault rifle. But although blowing random people’s brains out is a tragedy, the greater tragedy is the greater waste of brains when society refuses to allow intelligent men to use their talents. If our world continues to shoot down its best and brightest, our world is doomed. Supposedly, autistic savant sisters Flo and Kay Lyman had personalities so unique, that they could only connect with each other. Anyone else could not stand them for long, only for short periods.
Yet if God was as narrow minded and intolerant towards tolerating someone very different for long periods, He would have to *condemn absolutely everyone to rot in Hell*. So, *change your rotten attitude toward those like me*. Some dispute my claim to Asperger’s, so I explain: Throughout my life, apparently nobody suspected I was on the autism spectrum. Like I said, professionals were completely incompetent. Eventually I met two men who claimed to have Asperger’s, and who had similarities to myself. One explained his condition and talked about getting on disability. So, I applied for by self-diagnosing myself with Asperger’s to escape bad job situations. Some professionals went with my suggestion, then tested me and confirmed it. I thereby retired and collect a disability check. I’m well aware that very few diagnosed with Asperger’s ever collect disability.
So, my disability check is also predicated upon my especially social conflicts or a second, third, or fourth unidentified condition. Though labeling children as having Asperger’s originated by 1944, the modern view did not even exist until 1981, and was not a standard diagnosis until the 1980s. And the human brain is the most complicated structure in the universe. I also saw a video titled 22 Asperger’s Signs and Traits in Adults and noted that I had 18 out of 22. I then took the AQ test (Asperger’s/autism spectrum test), and *clearly* tested within the autism spectrum range. There is more evidence for me having the condition than most people who claim to have it. As for my True Forced Loneliness videos, a man said “We Aspers don’t complain about being alone. We complain about too many people around us.” But I wanted solitude as a child. My parents did everything to stop that and force me to socialize with others.
They also pounded into me their value of social connections. So, they forced my change of thinking. I’m also an only child and do hate having people around me if they disturb me with noise. Because of my philosophy, Aspers have called me an idiot, “ignorant like flat-earthers”, a sociopath, compared me to Charles Manson, and cut off dialogue with me. But because I know I have high intelligence, high morals, and did my research, I know that such people are evil, foolish, and ignorant. It baffles me that a group of people with major commonalities with me can be that way. Besides, I’m over fifty. So, if you are a teenager or in your twenties, STOP telling me how to be. Instead, respect your elders. Now I was liberal for much of my life. I spoke against racism, supported Blacks, supported feminism, and trumpeted gay rights while others did not.
My theory was that all marginalized people must stick together to beat unfair discrimination. I was *dead wrong*. That’s because people don’t care about those on the autism spectrum unless they themselves or a close family member has it. And consider that maybe 3% of people are LGBTQ, 30% of people are non-white, and 50% are female. So, they have plenty of their own people to look out for their interests. Yet less than 1% are diagnosed with Asperger’s and on top of that we are all mentally handicapped. And most people who identify as Asps are straight White males, who are the true victims of bigotry in our 21st century. So, we cannot afford to burden ourselves with other people’s issues, especially when they spit on ours. And instead of making snap judgments about me, get to know me by reading numerous posts of mine and seeing numerous videos (K C Sunbeam on Bit-Chute).
And NO, I do NOT want to represent the “ASD community”. Instead, I want to show the ASD community how to escape cowardice, antisocial behavior, and failure to do anything with one’s life. I used to be that way, but I discovered Christianity, old fashioned values, and strong role models. I won’t do any more research on this subject until those on the autism spectrum calm down with their backstabbing, and I can form close personal connections with others who also have an autism spectrum disorder. That’s only fair and logical. And if Asps refuse to group together to show each other love and support, and refuse to aggressively fight for their equal treatment, then it would behoove society to incorporate eugenics and genetic engineering so that nobody else is born with these conditions. Think deeply about what I have written.
