Hm, not necessarily. I've spent a lot of time working on myself, so most of my traits are hardly noticeable at all. My main problem is everything that happened that was related to my Asperger's. I spent four years being treated like an idiot. They literally told me I was devoid of emotion and that I'd never achieve anything on my own. When they do that for four years, every day in a row, it gets to you.
My old psychologist even gave them my psychological profile without my permission. So they could get me on my weak spots, and try to guilt me in telling people about my handicap. As if it's their business.
If I actually did that, then I'm sure that half of the people would bully me, and the other half would pity me. I don't want that.
No, I don't. And that's what I hate about the label. Most people who are open about their Asperger's have it on a very severe level.
Hell, I hate routine. I like to change things up a little. There's nothing fun about being stuck in a rut. If everyday is the same, then life is pointless to me. I think it's healthy to be impulsive once in a while.
Not all people with Asperger's have the same symptoms, but I get why you might think that. The media will only portray the people with Asperger's who freak out all the time, since they're more interesting to watch. And it makes other people with Asperger's scared to come clean about their condition. If you do that, you'd have to deal with terrible prejudices. Sad but true.
I didn't mean you all have it the same and i wasn't making fun of you, it's just a fairly strict routine is a symptom of all asperger cases is it not? Because thats what the people who invented the term say.
Don't worry, I didn't think you were making fun of me. I think the routines are a symptom of autism in general. Some people have it, others don't. Maybe some people with Asperger's are like that. The problem is that you get generalized way too easily. When you say you have Asperger's, people assume that all of the symptoms apply to you.
As for me, I hate routines. I love to do something impulsive from time to time. But yeah, there are also people with Asperger's who are scared of new situations and therefore love their routines. (you even have 'normal' people who are like that)
When should you tell your boyfriend/girlfriend you have asperger's?

Um if you have asperger's you wont have to tell, it will become apparent on it's own.

But thanks for the comment!
