Autism SUCKS!!!

[Godzilla2000]

some context would be helpful. you're kindda pulling a jingoua there lol.

Screw you too. Seriously, are you guys this devoid of braincells? The people I chat with at the MH Wiki in the Chatbox know exactly what I'm saying and I use the same generalities I use here. Maybe I need to hang out at messageboards with smarter people. Are you really this idiotic?

Seriously at my wits end!! I wish whatever caused autism was something physically tangible. That way I could just unleash all of my frustrations on it. It is so hard to deal with. Knowing that this little girl just doesn't understand, and being unable to make her see just how her actions affect me and everyone else. It's almost like something, somewhere is puppeting her and getting some strange form of sadistic glee out of watching me struggle with her. Constantly putting me into fights that, not only can I not win, but against someone I never even want to fight with. I'm sure some of you can identify with this struggle, and some of you can't. I just wish there was a way to make it stop.

Well, i can understand what you're talking about as I have suspicions that I have functional autism. Not really able to get a clear diagnosis too, and then there's my past history of people just pushing me around, not listening to a word I say, call me trash and say what makes me feel comfortable is trash, telling me I have to do things their way or I'm not good enough for their love and affection, etc. etc. to consider that contributes to my feelings of loathing for most of the human race in general as well as my hatred of intense social situations. (Seriously, people in large herds of intellectual nothingness just bore me and annoy me.) Maybe I can help you understand the point of view of this girl you're speaking about from my own unique perspective. All that browbeating and abuse brings me to the point of tears too many times to count. There's just no acceptance of who I am from people at all. But I digress. I think in order to keep out all the apathetic people we should have a private chat so I can devote to you my full attention. I really do want to help you out. I'd prefer you send me some PMs because of personal privacy and we can hash things out together, okay? Or better yet send me an email to [email protected]

I have an announcement......a lot of posts are being deleted in here and several people are getting warnings for their behavior.

Is it really that hard for some of you people NOT to act like 3 year olds? Those that continue to act that way...will be treated that way.

My thoughts precisely.

My good friend has an Autistic Son and he is a handful. Not sure how I would handle it full time personally. Its a grueling constant ordeal and struggle for all involved.

I can at least have a little insight on the OP's frustrations. If you've never had to deal with or been around someone dealing with this kind of situation I don't think you can have any idea how difficult it is. I know I didn't have a clue before I was exposed to it.

What were the issues with the deleted posts? None of them broke any of the written rules of the site, to my knowledge.

My post was sheer jackassery in horrid tastes.

I am sorry for the reference. To those with children/loved ones I appologize and ask that you continue to help them get acclimated to the social world. I have seen the consequences of turning a blind eye to Autism/treating it as an excuse.

A responsible parent or guardian would do neither. I hope that you can help your loved ones meet the challenges before them and persevere in the face of exhaustion or feelings of frustration.

She's pretty high function. She tends to shy away from new people, even her own age. She still has problems with verbal communication. She has a very hard time understanding emotions. This is why she laughs at you if you get mad at her. She also has issues with her attention span as well as a high pain threshold and a poor comprehension for danger.

What, though, was the specific diagnosis given, if I may ask?

I mean, there is a very broad range of disorders covered by the 'autism spectrum' and if the doctor only said 'autism spectrum' without specifically classifying it beyond such? That's a really, really bad doctor...

Though, diagnosing autism in most forms is very difficult in the formative years unless it's outright 'autism' which is more discernible than the multiple variances throughout the spectrum, some of which it can take until the teenage years or beyond to truly diagnose...

Replied to your PM with specifics. Part of the difficulty is that she just turned 4 this past October. So, she was barely 3 when she was diagnosed.

This came up in my Twitter feed - hopefully it can be of some help.

I only read through the first part of this thread so I hope the topic hasn't shifted completely, but my best friend had autism as a small child and then one day just snapped out of it and now he's perfectly normal and very intelligent.
Idk. Maybe just a small silver lining in an awful disorder.

I know... We're so idiotic. But the people who edit a Wiki dedicated to "Monster Hunter".... they're like MENSA members, right?

Good luck finding a messageboard with smarter people! Hope that means you'll no longer waste time with us dummies.
