    Also, didn't you mention both of your parents may be autistic? Have you diagnosed them with anything else? Heredity matters, mental illnesses and disorders in your family do increase your risk substantially.

    Have you ever met with a specialist in ASD?
  3. Originally posted by Malice All of that is consistent with being on the autism spectrum. Extreme social anxiety is a common part of Asperger's, and it can be among the worst. I also had friends up until about 13. It's actually common for there to be significant regression, a worsening of (some) symptoms, around that age due to the neurological development that begins to occur around puberty.

    I'd been able to scam and fool multiple psychologists and psychiatrists and I'm autistic as fuck. This is a misunderstanding of what autism is, not everyone has low emotional recognition and social awareness, problems with theory of mind. People with very high IQs in particular can learn to understand the world on a cognitive level, as opposed to emotionally and intuitively like most people, and hyper-compensate through sheer intellectual prowess, the hyper-systemizing cognitive style that's generally standard among aspies. As opposed to normal social interaction in these situations, with a professional, there's a clear purpose and you chart out a strategy, anticipating their responses, even how they perceive you, what they may misunderstand, what you should avoid saying etc. Cognitive machiavellianism.

    You do have multiple abnormalities, but many of them fall under the ASD cluster, and there a ton of symptoms and comorbidities. It's pretty ridiculous just how much being on the spectrum affects you. As to the comorbidities, these could certainly cloud their judgement, but it's also possible that it's causing people to primarily miss a diagnosis of high functioning autism rather than the inverse. As I mentioned, HFA/Asperger's has a very high rate of comorbidities and a greatly increased risk of certain disorders. The bipolar could be due to the "meltdowns" that are common for even HFAs to have, and they're likely also affected by your drug use, psychology, habituation, and environment.

    I'm not sure you have an accurate perception of yourself and would be fairly normal even without drugs. Polydrug abuse to the extent, level of severity, that you've taken it at a young age generally doesn't come out of nowhere. It can be an attempt to self-medicate, stem from profound problems.

    every time anyone says anything you say its a symptom of autism tho

    why is my score 26 and not 40 huh huh huh?

    i mean like i said when i've asked psychologists that i knew for a while in particular if i should have an ASD referral whatever they basically said "you dont". imagine being high as shit on spice in an ER and ranting about pussles. if the practitioner sees that and doesn't know your regular behavior, of course they'll take that presentation as your normal state. not to mention there's significant things in common with ASD and other disorders. you said social anxiety is a common symptom of autism...it's also a common symptom of SOCIAL ANXIETY!! believe it or not, avoidant personality, schizotypal, schizophrenia. you can take an array of unrelated symptoms and suit them into any cluster you want

    Most of them aren't fucking familiar with ASD. In fact, non-specialists aren't particularly good at anything, in general. Then are all these other factors that could mask it. Masking can occur simply because other, more severe symptoms, command more attention.
  6. so the 3 nonspecialists who said ASD must be right and the 20 that didn't say ASD must be wrong. because everyone on this website must be ASD. you might be retarded

    It would really require a specialist. Non-specialized aren't likely to make a diagnosis.

    Do you know how rare Asperger's is? Or rather, what the rate of diagnosis is? Then you combine a high IQ with that and the combination can be below 1 in 10,000 for those with an IQ merely in the top 10% of the general population.

    i actually calculated something like this the other day, but for psychopathy not autism

    the probability of an individual being a psychopath having an IQ of 130 is approx. 1/44 x 1/177 = 1/7788 = approx the same rarity of having an IQ of 154.5

    the probability of an individual being on the autism spectrum having an IQ of 145 (i just chose 3 standard deviations for lulz) is 1/68 x 1/741 = 1/50388 = approx the same rarity of having an IQ of 161.5

    this chart and google calculator, pubmed for population prevalences can produce standard scores (M = 100, SD = 15) to accurately assess the rarity of any particular cognitive profile http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/iqtable.aspx

    Originally posted by Escalate do you think my misdiagnosis(?) of aspergers at 14 and pdd-nos at 17 is because i have so much shit wrong with me + high IQ its easy enough to label it a developmental disorder? i mean i'd play with a rubixs cube in the psych ward and make games in my notebook but that's because i was bored as fuck, not because it's like a special interest. and someone with an IQ of 140ish is obviously not going to relate to their fellow juvenile delinquents very well.

    that and the fact that both times i ended up in the psych ward i was doing shitloads of drugs and going crazy. as a teen i would avoid almost any eye contact but that was due to extreme social anxiety. i'm more conscious about making eye contact now in social situations. as a child i had a bunch of friends but that stopped around 13 or 14.

    i'd mostly avoid eye contact with professionals because i was lying to their face and trying to present myself in a positive, innocent light to be released, and i figured if they saw my eyes they could tell i was lying. that and severe self-doubt/social anxiety.

    but then other psychiatrists that i've seen for months or years i've asked specifically (2 or 3 of them) if i have autism and they said they don't see that in my behavior, and one said i'm too socially adept. do you think i'm on the spectrum, or that simply having some autistic traits along with a fuckload of other mental abnormalities is enough to make a psychiatrist erroneously conclude PDD?

    i've also be misdiagnosed with a fuckload of other things like Bipolar I disorder, Psychotic Disorder- Not Otherwise Specified, Behavioral Disorder- Not Otherwise Specified, Mood Disorder- Not Otherwise Specified. All by different doctors.

    i personally think i don't have any mental disorders except mixed-anxiety depression and OCD. Maybe some mild sociopathy. when i take shitty deliriant dissociative hallucinogen spice rcs mixed with benzos and speed of course every time i see a doctor im going to have a different clinical presentation.

    my main mental disorder is polysubstance dependence, when that's taken out of the equation i've fairly normal despite some eccentricities.

    *expert psychiatrist mal-mal now chimes in*

    I used to avoid eye contact with most people as well, but that was because I don't like them and hoped they would go away if I didn't acknowledge them.

    while I was in the military I realized the only effect lack of eye contact had was a display of weakness and being submissive. to this day I keep and hold eye contact until the person I'm interacting with breaks eye contact first. 98% of the time they do. I can't think of a single female who didn't break eye contact first, and it's always the wannabe bad-ass guys who try to shake hands with the kung-fu grip who try to out-stare me.

    so someone taking an online test is enough for you to diagnose everyone. whether they score above the cutoff (32) or not. because you must be a specialist. do you see your hypocrisy?

    I'm clearly biased and want other people to be autistic so they can feel the same pain and suffering I do.

    Was he really a member? That's one in a million.

    If you're serious, do you remember what he did for a living/had accomplished, anything noteworthy about him?

    If anything suggests you don't have autism, it's actually conclusive evidence you actually do have autism and are just masking it because your autism gave you super intelligence required to answer tests in a way as to make it seem like you don't actually have autism.

    I think about this before every answer of every test I take. .
    'An autist would obviously answer this way, so I'll answer the other way, but..fuck.. answering that way is a lie because I don't want to answer the autist way.'
