Confession thread

-I'm shy.
-Although not formally diagnosed, I can also probably check off most if not all symptoms associated with Asperger's Syndrome.
- Never had sex.
- Never had a girlfriend.
- Never kissed.
- Never been on a date.
- Never had any physical contact with a girl beyond say, tapping someone's shoulder to get her attention.
- Never had any platonic female friends until very recently, unless you count someone in kindergarten.
- Most girls will barely give me the time of day. Even on a completely platonic level, they'll be friendly to every other guy in the room but me.

Alright, let's do them all them:

"qualitative impairment in social interaction"

Unpopularity.


"restricted, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors and interests"

Being different. (Basically being /b/.)


"significant impairment in important areas of functioning"

Wow, this actually says: "Really sucks (at something)." This symptom says a lot about the sanity of shrinks. This can very well be due to alienation (see unpopular above) and poor parenting.


"no significant delay in language development"

Not linguistically retarded.


"no significant delay in cognitive development, self-help skills or adaptive behaviors (other than social interaction)"

Otherwise not retarded. Basically just different and unpopular.


"criteria are not met for another specific pervasive developmental disorder or schizophrenia."

Aha, so this means that you can have all the above symptoms and STILL have something else. This is what the poster might have meant with "most if not all".


...but yeah, basically "Apergers Symdrome" comes down to being bullied because you're different. Some jerk bully got himself educated enough to be able to invent a mental disease out of thin air, and this is what he came up with: Bullying means you actually ARE retarded.
