These things interest me, I just like to see how these sort of tests diagnose me considering I believe I have no problems whatsoever.

These types of questions make me really annoyed though. Am I supposed to speak for myself and the other people? How am I supposed to know if they even like me or not to begin with.

/jp/ I have a question.
I don't know if I'm autistic and I'm too ashamed to go to check it.

I generally don't like being around people. I prefer being alone in my computer. There are like 6 people I actually enjoy being with.
I didn't talk until age 3-4.
I can fake being more social, but then I look like a retard when I try.
Until I was 13, when I talked to someone and they didn't reply, I thought that they just didn't hear so I repeated what I said until they answered.
I also took an autism test online and my score was double the average person.
But I'm not THAT antisocial, so I'm not sure.

I am utterly antisocial, preferring to mingle only on the Internet. I want nothing to do with the outside world. However, ever since I was young I was talented at socializing, being able to provide the "correct" answer whenever necessary. In a way, I guess you could say it was a survival skill I developed.

What's my diagnosis? Am I autistic? Or perhaps, simply a two-faced prick?

Only a Psychiatrist can diagnose you with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Stop fucking around with these "what mental/neurological illness do you have" internet quizzes /jp/. Or whatever the quiz in the OP is.

Your cutesy personality quirks are not the marks of real mental illness.

Just ask your physician who you should see.

As for the tests, they differ.

In my case I was interviewed for a long time about my life, the Psychiatrist and Psychologists I saw listened to me and analyzed my responses, then I underwent a series of tests. Memory tests and whatnot. Then they wrote up a report about how I had assburgers/OCD/depression and prescribed me some pills.

Why do psychiatrists need to think up classifications and create a diagnosis for any personality trait which is a slight deviation from what they consider as the normal personality?

If anything these doctors with their obsessive interest in categorization are more autistic than the patients they're diagnosing.

Asperger's is complete bullshit. Same with ADHD. If you took every Buddhist monk in the world and made them take this test then they would all probably score off the charts for asperger's because of the introversion that their lifestyle involves. Doesn't mean that every monk in the world is autistic though.

Why can't some people just be "different" or "peculiar" instead of trying to invent a mental illness for them?

Guess what moron, diseases can affect the brain, just like very other part of the body.

See, every part of the body has a certain chemical balance. Including the brain. And when the brain's chemical balance is out of whack, mental illness is the result. Or if somethings wrong with the neurons themselves, then neurological illness is the result. That's oversimplified but I hope that you get the point.

>If you took every Buddhist monk in the world and made them take this test then they would all probably score off the charts for asperger's because of the introversion that their lifestyle involves

No. Tests for Autism don't revolve around an individual's lifestyle. The Psychiatrist will look for autistic behaviors: not looking another person in the eyes while conversing, insensitivity to pain, monotone voice, obsessive interests, ect.

I swear you "mental/neurological illnesses are just made up" people are the absolute fucking worst. You're taking very serious problems and speaking about them like they're nothing, that's terribly offensive.

I believe a lot of /jp/ is just socially crippled to an irreversible state. It may or may not resemble autism in some way.

Traits of someone with aspergers:
Very honest
Happy to be alone with themselves and feels no need for socialization

Traits of someone who is normal:
Habitual liar that constantly modifies their personality, behavior, and opinions so that they can fit into any social situation. They are only honest when they feel that a lie wouldn't be more socially appropriate.
Unable to feel happy with themselves and they constantly need to be validated by other people. Their dependency and addiction to socialization and social contact makes a crackfiend's addiction to honking the pipe seem like nothing at all.

And we're the crazy ones? Normal people need serious help. We live in a society where being a liar and an addict is not only normal but encouraged.

Any discomfort during socialization that someone with asperger's shows is no doubt a result of attempting to live in such a backwards world. How can you not feel uncomfortable when you spend your entire life speaking to people who communicate with so many lies and half-truths that deciphering their real opinions is like solving a puzzle?

That is only one slice of the pie, they are more than likely sympathetic - unlike people who have aspergers. Just because a person exhibits a single syndrome doesn't mean that they can be diagnosed with said illness.

Tact is just lying though. Don't you see?

Our world is so twisted when it comes to these things that we don't even see a lie for what it is. Politeness, tactfulness, it's all just lying.

Here's a hypothetical situation. Imagine that someone asks you if they look fat or if they ugly. The polite and tactful thing to do is to lie to them, you find some way to twist your words with deception that you can give them an answer which either intentionally avoids the question or is an outright lie. The honest answer would be, "I believe that you look fat/ugly." but that's the rude, unacceptable answer.

People will tell you that they hate liars and lying is a terrible thing, but every single one of them does it all day in everything they say. The simplest of sentences are coated in dishonesty to avoid conflicts. We live in a world where it's only lying if the lie that you said wasn't friendly.

Just look at the definition of tact.
>a keen sense of what to do or say in order to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense

In other words: the ability to know how to lie and behave deceptively in order to maintain good relations with others and avoid offense

Everyone should care because this is the main reason why no one has any idea what the fuck anyone else is really saying.

Look at some of the questions on the asperger's test for example. Several of them had to do with empathy and being able to understand when someone is upset, but they leave out the part where this only a problem because people lie so much.

Someone is upset, you go up to them and ask them if they're upset, then they will tell you that they aren't. If we lived in a world where people were honest then that would be the end of it. They said they aren't upset so they must not be upset. That's not how it works though, you have to read their body language and pick up on the fact that they're compulsively lying for no reason at all, and then ask the right questions to dig the truth out of them when they should have just told you what the problem is right from the start.

This happens in everything. People will always avoid telling you the truth if they feel it would be easier to lie and the end result is that no one really has any idea what their friends or family feel about them. You just have to guess at their opinions based on the few truths that they unintentionally let slip out when their inhibitions are down.

>So?

How can you function in society when you know that everyone else is lying to you? You might have a coworker who you believe is your friend, but the only reason he's acting kind is because society tells him to be polite and inside he really can't stand you. You have no way to know this though and if you trust this person then you're going to be blindsided one day when you ask for his help, this favor is too much of a bother for his conditioned polite behavior to go along with, and he tells you to fuck off. Finally you learned the truth, but it would have been nice if you knew that earlier.

The whole world is filled with situations like this. The only reaction that makes any sense at all when confronted with this is to retreat from society and enjoy being alone, but then they hunt you down and start studying you. Suddenly you're autistic, a social pariah, depressed, schizoid, schizotypal, or any other number of disorders that they want to diagnose you with when all along they are the ones with the problem here.

Abnormals get hunted down and stamped with labels and normals sit up on their throne, feeling like paragons of mental health, as they live a life filled with addiction and deceit.

It's just a hypothetical situation. The same applies to everyone since everyone will give you the polite, tactful answer before they tell you the truth.

Doesn't matter if it's a friend, family member, coworker, or random acquaintance. Only in a setting like this does politeness go out the window and you hear the real opinions of people, but it required complete anonymity to get normal people to that point.

Does honesty have to be cruel and angry though?

Many of the examples of mean behavior that you'll see in the world are what happens when people essentially explode from bottling up their true feelings for a long enough period of time. Other times it's just because some people get some kind of sadistic joy from bullying, but that doesn't have anything to do with honesty or lying.

If someone asks you for your opinion then there's nothing mean about saying that you dislike them, that you think they're unattractive or fat, it's just honesty.

Meanness is excessive and cruel though. Many times it's like a volcano of politeness, just this gigantic explosion of repressed opinions and hostility which turns into a curse filled and abusive rant of anger and meanness.

I was misdiagnosed with Asperger's when I was 16, and then my parents practically made me the family retard ever since then. They went around telling other people about it, too (when I told them not to), so I couldn't escape from it.

I'm diagnosed with Schizotypal and Psychosis-NOS now, but my dad still uses the term "autistic" (because he's a retard who thinks that it can just be used as a catch-all term for being different). It was really hard to deal with; my family thinks that I absolutely need to be on SSI in order to survive. Well, sure, I can't get a full-time job, but I don't know.

I really just don't know. I do want to be on SSI and am going through the final trial, but it is for very different reasons than what my family wants. I'm just so tired of busting my ass only to be a part-time janitor or some shit, when I have the intelligence to be much more and yet am denied that chance by society.
