It does in a way but going to therapy and saying that I can do it to myself does helps a lot

Thanks , I do and I will
Do they have any support networks for people who deal with these type of things? Something where you can meet other people who deal with Aspergers or other forms of autism (mind my ignorance) and from relationships ect.?
I'm a huge Nirvana fan and I suspected Kurt Cobain to have Asperger's. If you read his biographies and listened to his interviews, Kurt hit a lot of nails of someone with autism. Just Google "Kurt Cobain" and "Asperger's" together.
As for other famous figures, here's a whole list of them https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.o...on/famous-people-with-aspergers-syndrome/amp/
Interesting figures who may have or had it included Chris Rock and Marilyn Monroe and some actually confirmed cases like Dan Akyroyd, David Byrne and Anthony Hopkins.
Asperger's was a separate officially recognized condition on the DSM-V from 1994 to 2013. Now it's still recognized but it's now considered within the greater Autism umbrella. That was fortunately plenty of time to develop a network of support groups and organizations of people with that condition. The university I'm attending has a couple support groups dedicated to aspies. I'm joining one of them starting January.
Haha, you're probably right
Women has always been an awkward point for me and as of now, I'm trying to focus on my studies and relegating any areas of dating to tinder frolicking
I'm a music head so stimming to it is my specialty. I used to dance in any instance of good music- whether it's bopping my head and humming to it in public or going all out and pulling a Tom Cruise in Risky Business at home. Music is my recipe, dawg!
This actually made my day, breh especially when a lot of people have no clue what stimming is or how hard it is to ignore noises. Theyre playing maroon 5 right in the store and the autotune and computer noises are horrible.
You ever like remaster or reproduce songs while youre listening to them?
You mean in my head? A few times I like to add bars and hooks to hip hop instrumentals. I want to experiment with making beats IRL but I lack the money and skills to do it

I use to think you were just retarded as shyt. My bad, I didn't know you were on a spectrum.Do you have music that you stim to?
Im stimming in my chair to mop's first album.im just repeating and bobbing back and forth in my chair... im vaping some indica right now. otherwise i would be dancing out of my chair with mg headphpnes on pissing anybody on the floor below from jumping around so hard
Stimming feels good. I always repeat parts or sections of songs when im listening to them on the device im playng the music with. I often think i should be a dj the way i keep repeating certain sections. Thats what i would like to describe my repetitions while im listening to music. I figured instead of rewinding my casette player, cd player, mpe player or whatever.. let me scratch on my turntables. I have turntables but havent been able to get myself to sit down and learn them.
Are you in the nyc area or a new yorker by chance, did you have an interest in the subway system as a kid or as an adult? Time magazine did an article about autistic kids in new york being interested in the subway system. I know i used to stim like crazy everytime i think of the subway.. the smell, the ride itself, hearing the wheels squeak while the cars turn around a bend into the next subway station, remembering all the stations and the cars... i still am a subway fan to this day. I plan on applying to be a subway operator. Its on my bucket list.

Well somewhat but more like adding a different snare to the beat or making the bass louder? So you basically reproducing.
I often reread the production sections of rza's wu manuals to understand rza's mind behind his beats. Like you, i also would like to inspire to produce or make my own music. Probably start a band. Ive always been into music and even own instruments. Just having a hard time keeping my interests down in learning to play them. I was learning guitar before the pandemic
If i remastered this record....
You know something.
One reason why i dont like being around people in general even with someone else alone is because im tired of other people hurting my feelings or rubbing me the wrong way. Read that thats apart of autism. Im afraid that i might do something to piss someone off and sometimes it happens. When that happens, it confirms my sediments about people and i just shut down. My emotions especially when im depressed and angry can be very intense. I do have anger issues but my facial expressions are fukked up too. Ill look mad or sad without realizing it... i spend a lot of time alone and yeah, i do wish other people could reach out and etc but you know what..im not asking anybody for shyt because i want to actually see if the folks around me actually care enough to think about me. Im guilty of being selfish to be honest but that comes because folks themselves are selfish.
This is why im often combative and paranoid. I guess the people that i grew up around were hot heads because i got yelled at a lot. School, the teachers yelled. My mother had a bad temper. Same with my father. Plus i guess my hertiage which has a lot of anger as well. Thats why i sound angry.
Im used to being the outcast, reject, oddball, and etc. Dealt with that my whole life. Thats why im weary of people and often dont care because i know ill never fit in and will never be accepted. Its all good. Im surviving.

And as an autistic person, i say the following. A lot of autistic folks are lonely and dont know how to express themselves. As i read somewhere and to rephrase it, having autism is like having to go into other peoples worlds while waiting for someone else to enter into yours. Thats how i really feel about that shyt. Im tired of having to go into other peoples worlds to understand them but nobody wants to go into mine to understand me. When i extend a hand, people are like for a long time its been like that, i grew up to accept that i wasnt cool or popular. I used to be angry as hell about and get jealous but now.... im thankful because its made me tough.
Theres times i cant even explain myself and it fukking sucks.
