I think some people might feel different or like an outsider (as we all do sometimes), and then read a list of Asperger's traits and suddenly it all seems to make sense.
And you're right, going around telling everyone they have it kind of indicates that it might be feeding their ego a little bit. They want it to be part of their identity. I think my friend may only have alluded to it once or twice and even then he seemed really embarrassed, like it was difficult to even mention. And he doesn't mention it to people for fear of being treated differently. (Even though its fairly obvious somethings up! lol). But he has spent a lot of time figuring out how to fit in.
But maybe some people want to be treated differently... cos they're special!! Who knows.
The evolutionary thing sounds like she's been reading up on the internet (of course she has!).
And the overly sexual behaviour doesn't seem to fit in with having Asperger's....
So are you supposed to be like...be all touchy-feely back to show that your not a prude? lol... I'm not sure, maybe she was touched too much.
She sounds like she could just be a really insecure person. I'm sure she's a nice girl and there's lots of good things about her.
And I'm sure she has her own 'issues'; so who knows maybe Asperger's is amongst them.
Yeah, I noticed that, about some people with symptoms of Asperger's not wanting to be treated differently and not wanting to talk about it. I think someone I know has a diagnosis. She describes it as "something I do not and WILL NOT EVER talk about." I think she's referring to the condition.
The evolutionary thing is something I am thinking about reading up on myself. Although, looking back, the girl in question (not the one in the first paragraph)said things about being able to do math in her head, and when she asked me to give her a long division equation, she was off by about 150. She got all embarrassed and tried to come up with justifications for that.
When she said "conservative," she is talking about it in political terms. She does have an intolerance for anyone who is Republican, yet at the same time says she likes the Tea Party. At this point, I am confused. She could just really be an insecure person, but I don't see how telling people you have this condition helps with that. If anything, it may scare people away. I dunno.
Is it normal that I question Asperger's Syndrome?
