[QUOTE=Jarvio;6340056]Do you mean obsessions with certain things? i.e. my cousin knows everything there is to know about planes and it's all he talks about. But that doesn't account for the compulsion side of it like checking the door 20 times. Hmm. I'd always thought OCD was very separate to AS because of that.

[QUOTE=Blue Cadillac;6340073]Yep, that's what the doctor who diagnosed me said too.
Many conditions are often interlinked. This is kind of what I'm saying - ASDs are very broad, and the symptoms are not the same for everyone. Another characteristic of myself that I forgot to mention is that I need everything to be set/in a routine, and if there's any change it will freak me out. Short-notice plans stress me no end, and things cannot be left unresolved in my mind or I can't function until they are. Last edited by Jarvio; 28-08-2013 at 12:18 PM. |

Sarcasm depends with me really - sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. I guess it depends how obvious it is |

It's more to do with having a TALENT. people with aspergers are often GIFTED people.. its got f-all to do with it only being about social behaviours !!!!!!!! christ almighty, if your feeling anti-social take some xanax and stay OUT of the aspergic spectrum you try hard to be in, because those who really have it stand less of a chance of recieving help! |

So by your logic this means I don't have aspergers then? (even though I have a diagnosis in writing, confirmed by a professional). Not everyone who has it are the same. Not everyone will tick the same boxes. Last edited by Jarvio; 28-08-2013 at 09:42 PM. |

[QUOTE=Jarvio;6340046]Hi jarvio, I'm certain you will learn to deal with yourself as time goes on, my Father has Aspergers and is a very very successful man in life and especially in his career, I have some aspects of the condition which I have learned to love about myself so don't worry too much , just try and accept who you are , know who you are and why and if you can try and adapt to suit social situations, for example I eat the same thing every day, it doesn't change , however I worked out a meal I am happy eating if I go to a restaurant , so if I'm invited out I call the restaurant and ask if they can help me with that and they always can. You will work out strategies so you can deal with life I promise.

Well we are more than just what our mind tells us we are , because it limits us through beliefs and past experiences, what you think can make you feel a way , thoughts create emotions, however if you are able to see how your mind works and the way thoughts make you feel you realise that you need to be in control of it rather than letting it run away with itself .I dont like wearing odd socks it used to make me anxious but I challenged the thought one day and wore odd socks I didn't like it much however nothing bad happened and I could deal with it , proving to myself my mind sometimes needs expanding and that what it makes you feel isn't always right.

That's all well and good to challenge an irrational anxiety relating to personal idiosyncrasies. I don't however see how they can be held up against an Autistic spectrum disorder.
As in your case you could recognise the irrationality of your thought process, someone with Aspergers wouldn't necessarily identify a social faux pas if they encountered it.

people can get disability living allowance, for having as, or being on the autism spectrum and in some severe cases they will get a car. but its not a simple process to get put on the spectrum!. a couple won the lottery but refused to give up their free mobility car!, so its swings and roundabout's. |

that's true, but also mobility cars are not income based so you can have lottery winners still entitled to a free car.

No you cant. If you have over a certain amount in your bank. You are breaking the law if you are claiming DLA.
