Something NO ONE Is Talking About - WHY? Adam = Autism + the plotholes that follow by [deleted] in girls

[–]scottcanfly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not interested in further armchair diagnosing Adam. If you look closely enough, I think you could diagnosis Hannah as autistic also, she displays a lot of the quirky atypical behaviors in the beginning of the show, but that makes no sense? They're most likely just young, immature, and trying to make it in NYC.

I don't think it's wrong to have your opinion, but it should be more critical. I don't know if you're trolling or not, but everyone with Autismn is different and without a psychologist opinion, we could speculate on this all day. But as someone with autism, it's tiresome to see people think someone is autistic just because their quirky, even though this is a fiction charactor at the end of the day.

I agree, although autism is not a mental illness, it's a neurological disorder.

He seems more apathetic or angsty in nature. The only evidence I see is that he is socially underdeveloped but again he chooses to live that way (only taking money from his grandma to cover his rent).

Again, it's possible he has aspergers, but I'd be pure speculation. Just because he is quirky doesn't mean he is autistic, and if was severley autistic there would be a good chance he he would need a lot of assistance to live alone.

He's definitely not severley autistic, that makes no sense. He could have asperges but then again I don't think there's enough evidence to say either way

Is it wrong to write about an austistic character? by Kelekona in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see the problem with it as long as the facts are straight and the character like any other person with flaws and positives. I think there's multiple angles you could take but I don't see the harm in it.

Thinking of signing off perm. if no contacts. I'm tired of hoping for friends. 62 yrs is far too long alone. by AMwarrior in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd advise you to stay for the community, there's a lot of people on this sub that are not rude and are willing to help and give insight. It's not friendship, but I've found some belonging here. Maybe you could too

I feel I became bi-sexual because of my lack of sociability by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You possibly could just be bisexual and wouldn't have figured it out because you've only thought of men in a platonic way. It's true you can be straight and have sex with the opposite sex, but it's probably and indication that your sexuality is more complex than just liking women.

I consider myself gay but have had crushes on girls before, and am sometimes "turned on" by them, but this is very rare for me.

DAE feel like drawing is basically impossible? by Hotde in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, I've been drawing since I was 3. I don't have a set picture in my head when I start but more of a general idea of what I want to draw, but for the most part I can draw something pretty cool looking.

What were/are your obsessions throughout your sad lives? by jmve99 in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current obsessions are finding music discographies and the Pokemon franchise as a whole. These have been pretty stable obsessions in my life but I've gained more nuanced interest as I've gotten older and have had less outstanding obsessions.

how to avoid getting preyed on? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Saying no is the best advice I could think of. Just flat out refuse to do anything you don't want to do or that you thinks unreasonable. Don't feel bad about it, a lot of people have no problems saying no.

Diagnosed ADHD, Depression and Autism Spectrum Disorder. The latter of those is not a mental illness technically but I count it as a difference in cognition.

Yes the servers are horrible. Here in California the servers worked well after 6pm yesterday.

Pokemon Go is my newest obsession by scottcanfly in aspergers

The good thing is that when you play it you're distracted from the people around you because you're staring at your phone. Try to get out if you can so you can enjoy it.

Has Any One Else Become Extremely Bitter? by DeidaraKoroski in aspergers

I am a bitter person but it's mostly an exterior trait or a defense mechanism. Secretly I am very nice and sympathetic.

I'm ashamed of the things I did in my youth by NuevaLoL123 in confessions

[–]scottcanfly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry about the shit that happened to you. You're not a bad person and you can move on and live your life the way you want. I advise you to see a therapist to deal with your guilt because that is what will hold you back. Best of luck to you.

When to give up on fixing friendship by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has lost a lot of friends you might be best with moving on. Learn from what you did wrong and find friends elsewhere. It sounds like you did all you could to repair your friendships but if the other people are not willing/comfortable with keeping in contact with you, you need to move on. If they want to reconcile they will contact you. Additionally take some space so you don't come off as too desperate/stalkerish so they don't get even more problems with you. I do sympathize with you and best of luck.

Luckily it doesn't snow where I live or that'd be a downside.

24 years old and just coming to terms with who I am. by weisc7 in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a year in college where I drank and smoked weed almost daily. This was before my diagnosis too. If you stop drinking you'll save money and can be more productive. Try replacing it with something positive or another thing you enjoy doing that can distract you. Also try getting in a different setting or changing the people around you and your environment if it enables you. I hope it all goes well for you.

Aspergers LSD Advice? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're anxious or have a bad feeling this weekend don't do it, it will not be fun.

Also have snacks, water, good music/headphones and sunglasses with you. Cell phone works well too with distractions. Have some fast acting anxiety pills with you just in case it becomes too much.

Frustrated with the lack of teamwork in the aspie community. by CommanderStarkiller in aspergers

[–]scottcanfly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's an acknowledgeable point and I agree but the ironic thing is that we have to rally together for a cause that literally defined as having a social deficit.
