Is there a political reason behind the increasing prevalence of Asperger's in children? I don't think it's purely genetic.
I used to display symptoms of Asperger's syndrome when I was younger, but I grew out of it by age 13. I used to walk on my toes and have an intense fascination with certain subjects and video games. Once I hit puberty however, my obsession stopped. Since then I rarely play vidya. My emotional intelligence was a few years behind most others but not by a huge amount, otherwise I am normal socially, I have had plenty of friends and girlfriends.
Could there have been something I had did to reset my brain chemistry? From age 10 to 11 I stopped drinking soda and eating fast food, and started exercising. I lost over 10 pounds at age 10, very abnormal. Changing gut bacteria?
Autistics can't flirt, can't fuck, can't make White babies. You all get the rope.
Owen Price
Maybe. I ended up in the gifted class and related better to those kids
Brayden Nguyen
I'm an aspie, and I have a wife, kids, and a good paying job that leverages my pattern-seeking. If you apply your autism correctly, the skies the limits boys. We are all gonna make it.
John Allen
Aspergers doesn't exist as a diagnosis anymore. Update your talking points.
Carter Martinez
I believe autists should be paid for their sperm so that we can manufacture more geniuses through sperm banks
Tyler Taylor
Aspergers/autism is nothing more than middle class rebranding of foetal alcohol syndrome (search for both conditions on pubmed or wherever if you want a hellish rabbit hole to go down).
I suspect the mechanism is impaired pineal gland formation resulting in no soul residing in these blanks of human beings hence their creepy nature.
Charles James
Do not put an Autistic down the front of your pants for a laugh at a party. Although it looks harmless, it can and will bite your testicles...no, wait, that's ferrets.
Do not put out saucers of milk and bread for Autistics. They have trouble digesting...no wait, that's hedgehogs.
A little-known fact about people with Autism is that they actually have three arseholes. Despite this, it is still frowned upon to carry them around like a bowling ball.
Never leave an autistic to change a lightbulb. They'd just as well stay in the fucking dark to avoid eye contact.
Don't leave an autistic within reach of children. There is a risk of suffocation. - Actually that may be carrier bags but it's still valid.

I'm 50 years old and just discovered I have Asperger's in the last year. It's not made up, and it can make life very, very difficult. I have been homeless multiple times, and I am not a druggie, and I have an IQ well over 150. I always thought Asperger's, being an autistic disorder, would be more like "Rain Man" but it is actually very subtle and insidious. I lived as a shut in for 15 years before I was willing to admit I had a real problem and only discovered it was Asperger's when doing a bit of research on anxiety disorders led me to information about Asperger's, which almost always comes with the comorbidities of depression and anxiety. I am actually fascinated by the life story of Elon Musk, as I am just amazed he is so successful in spite of Asperger's, which has fucked my life up beyond belief. Anyhow, I'm currently working on a disability case so I can fuck off to some remote location and go back to being a hermit. I will breed dogs, do blacksmithing and maybe grow weed again. I don't really care much for the whole weed scene but as a means to an end I grew it for 15 years so I could work from home and withdraw from society. Anyhow, TL;DR Asperger's is very real and it really sucks.
Carson Campbell
I don't display any physical symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome, plus neither of my parents drank often. The few behaviorial and social symptoms you can say i had are problems staying on task and poorer social skills.
Jackson Gray
> Self diagnosed autism to blame social failings This is the male version of chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia/ehlers dalos, etc…
Juan Hill
Many cases of foetal alcohol syndrome have no physical features (or if they do they’re subtle).
Your mamma was a wino, accept it
Levi Price
DO NOT use autistic children as bait to catch bigger spastics
Do not pick them up by the ears: instead grab them by the scruff of the neck and support their hind quarters. No wait, that's rabbits.
Never return to someone with Autism once it has been lit.
Always ensure that the glue on BOTH surfaces is dry to the touch before affixing the autistic to the shed.
Do not give Autistics onions to eat as this will break down their red blood cells and lead to anaemia. No wait, that's cats.
Do not use autists beneath power lines, my mistake, I'm thinking of fishing rods.
Alexander Ward
>invent disorder that doesn't exist but matches normal symptoms of s poorly socialized kid. drug kid to stunt growth. prevent confidence, promote submissive behavior.
Wyatt Cruz
inability to flirt I agree with, but in my case I can fuck but not with randoms and only with someone I have an extreme interest in, similar to other areas of my life.
Adam Foster
I've never even seen her drunk. She wasn't a teetotaler avoiding it either, she never had more than a glass or two. She did smoke though, but they didn't do any of that when they found out about me. My older sister and the countless videos they have of my mom during pregnancy would have probably revealed this to me by now.
Leo Mitchell
most autist are not white, they are Asian.
Caleb Taylor
Constant drinkers often do not seem intoxicated, gin in a water bottle is a common trick.
I’m sorry you found out this way user
Carter Harris
part of it is women not having kids until they're in their 40s. part of it is that it's seriously overdiagnosed
Jaxson Morgan
im sorry but my case is an exception to your theory my mother was 33 when i was born. I was a c section birth. I was poorly socialized
Dylan Collins
Literally spent the entirety of my 20s sleeping around. Now married and have two sons. Find a better talking point.
Joshua Gray
True story - friend's daughter graduated as high school valedictorian by a long shot. Was not given credit or even allowed to use that on her college application. Everyone is equally inept in the eyes of the school. Don't want to make the stupid ones feel bad by highlighting the smart ones. Nothing to do with autism, just the stupidity of the modern school system.
Blake Barnes
>Is there a political reason behind the increasing prevalence of Asperger's in children?
Not political.
They used to call autistic people "socially retarded."
Now Asperger's and the "socially retarded" are put under the same group: "people with autism."
