Sorry. Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have high-functioning autism with severe sensory issues. Sensory, extremely sensitive hearing,
cant tell when something too hot or too cold, i burn myself all the time, i never get cold unless im about to get sick. I have
obsessions, cleaning, Dust, well certain games in general, parkour, skateboarding, drawing, playing guitar and piano.

I stim a lot. Self stimulation, humming, rocking, bouncing, sitting in weird position, spinning etc. I have problem with being touched
and texture. I only like deep pressure, hate light touch. I like foods with lots of flavor/spices or i cant eat it.

Welcome to the club. :) A lot of people will use "autist" as an insult, but it hardly is one. While it's often classified as a "condition", "disorder", or "syndrome", it's really more of a "difference" in the way your brain processes information. Some of those differences are good, some of them you could probably do without. And as long as you understand what those differences are, you can learn to cope with or compensate for them.

In my case, my parents had me take a variety of drugs (everything from Adderall to Zoloft, in fact. The literal A to Z of psychiatric medication. And it did more harm than good. When I turned 18, I got rid of all of it, and after recovering from the medication, I was a lot better off. That being said, depending, you may find benefits in certain medications depending on your unique case.

I have the flavor of Autism Spectrum Disorder that was previously referred to as "Asperger's Syndrome". Weird sensitivity issues are common. Often sound or light, but mine is touch as well.

@TechMechMeds Although you do bring up some good points... You cannot accurately diagnose someone over a few forum posts on the internet. Which makes all your posts a fail. A truly autistic person, depending on the severity and type, may have trouble explaining it. You can read the wikipedia post I put up but it says this, "Associated conditions - Intellectual disability". It is the very first thing listed. I am not trying to be mean to Parkour by pointing that out, I am just trying to inform you so you can at least try and understand.

Even trolls must draw a line somewhere and know when to troll and when not to troll. We are not talking about the game or some dumb blue berry, the topic is about his health and condition. Telling him that he is too young to understand and nothing is wrong with him when you have nothing to base your opinion on but a few forum posts by a person who may have autism kinda seems like you are trolling whether you are doing it intentionally or not. It is because of the lack of human compassion you have displayed. Let his family and doctors who know him personally decide if he has autism or not. You don't even know how old he is to assume how young he is... The autistic kids at my highschool were 18 yrs old and still being picked on and bullied.

The best we can do for him is
A. Show some support, while giving a little productive advice.
B. Exit thread


.... And just like that, your forum god has conducted YET another flawless victory with a successful fatality combo and you just ran out of quarters.

I got evaluation by one of the best autism and general neurologist in the country Tech. Im 19 years old. While you have good points
saying that theres nothing wrong is completely bias and very typical. You weren't mean about it but its still the same thing ive heard
from many people who were paid to help. And guess what? They didnt.

I have multiple medical conditions as well.
TBI
ASD
fibromyalgia
the rest are things that go alongside these conditions, as in you can have or not have
severe muscle weakness
self injurious behavior
PTSD
paranoia

Im not crazy Tech. Just dont be like all those people that were paid to help but didnt.

Thats muscle is not about weakness like general, its about a devlopment i think.
For example i have not fully developed trapezius, what basicaly meant for me not a army career, what i wanted from really young years.

And btw im lefthanded by nature too, but i was reteached in school in communistic era of our country.
Barbaric, but i know now why i shooting from right hand and why i was leftie on hockey

Oh, Tech the pain is so bad i havevno choice but to take meds or i wouldn't be able to function at all. But that not all i do nor
am i stupid enough to think theres a magic pill to make everything go away.

@ Tech I just wanted you to see how and why you were approaching this seemed as wrong. I could have done the same thing as you did the first time around and attack every point you make going sentence by sentence but I am not going too. I immediately noticed a change in your demeanor and I am contempt with that. I see no reason to continue with this, although I still see much of your counter argument as wrong but it is only human to be defensive and protect yourself.

It is not so much what you said but how you said it. Remember, I did say you brought up alot of good points so while I did admit to agreeing with you.... A person can easily say the exact same thing in different ways and have it come off sounding negative or positive.

You got my entire point before I even said it... lol. I forgive you. Sorry for being so blunt with my thoughts. I just have good intentions no matter how I end up sounding.
