Chris Rock is on the autistic spectrum

[Professor Emeritus]

Oh shyt this me, especially the end. In elementary school, I would always have my in the books while teachers would lecture. They told my parents I never paid attention but I must be smart because I aced tests. As I got older, i kept having teachers who wouldnt follow text or would have pop quizes on our conversations so my grades dipped. I remeber getting a D one time even though I used a textbook to cheat; the teacher was sick that day and the sub fell asleep.
I didnt start book reading like that until I was junior in college.

Im 30 years now and I only just realized within the last 4 years that I have difficulty learning by listening. Put a book in front of me or show me how its done, and I absorb it.

Where'd you go to be diagnosed?

Yeah, that all sounds very similar.

To be professionally diagnosed you have to go to an audiologist:

Find Certified Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs)

What do you mean when you say you get tired listening and not speaking?

It takes a ton of concentration for me to understand what others are saying, so I have problems listening to lectures, sermons, audiobooks, being in group conversations where I'm doing more listening than speaking, or even being in two-way conversations where the other person is going on for a long time or talking more than me.

But if I'm the one speaking, then I know what I'm going to say, so my brain doesn't need to get tired trying to interpret anything. If I watch a lecture with subtitles, I have no problem. Even movies usually aren't a problem because there's enough context/action/pauses that I can follow what's being said without working too hard. And two-person conversations are fine if the other person keeps their side short and stays in-context, or group convos too if people are mostly engaging with me so I'm still dominating the conversation.

So I've become quite good at public speaking to the point that I'm booked as a public speaker. The only issue comes in the question-and-answer sessions, cause sometimes there will be someone with an accent in the audience and that shyt is tough for me. But at worst I just have to ask the person to repeat their question once or twice, and that gives me enough time to work through it and figure out what they said.

Sort of sounds like me. When i use subtitles when watching tv or movies i can follow along better.

What career/job do you have?

Started out as a scientist and then became an educator.

Now I run an educational services and teacher training org that also does some community services and community activism.

Gil-Scott Heroin negged me for this post and called me autistic.

No one has updated this thread since September 18th and Brook forced me onto Gil's ignore list when he started stalking me. That means he's not only using an alias to read through my posts, but he's digging back THREE WEEKS to read shyt I wrote and neg it.

This is the same guy who has been stalking me for three years even though I have him on ignore and then completely fabricated a story about PM's in order to try to justify his stalking.

Yeah autistic boys will masturbate a lot, can't speak on females as I don't work with them.

I used to fap a lot

Breh, autism is real. You just dont understand what it is. It's just a brain development disorder where someone processes things differently and it effects their social skills. HIgh functioning just means that someone covers that shyt up where its not noticable. They just learn and copy how other people do but if you pay attention long enough such as how they wont socialize as much or are too talkative, they dont seem to give a fukk about what most people give a fukk about, they spend a lot of time alone, they have trouble looking people in the eye or they look too hard as if they are trying to cover shyt up, and etc.

fukk that’s me, I cover it with jokes.

 

[NatiboyB]

I’m convinced everyone is on the spectrum in some way or another. But most will never be tested nor have the need. And honestly I don’t think in can be corrected. It’s what makes people unique.

Coli breh: 'I've never understood why humans need to breathe, shyt is overrated nobody I know does it'

"If you're breathing air in the same atmosphere that your enslaved ancestors did, you're a c00n"

How you breath the same air with other men...might as well call them daddy

Most boys//men have done, chronic masturbation is a thing, however as it relates to ASD it's usually down to sensory reasons.

And don't self diagnose, thats one off the worst things you can do.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Lowkey he always kinda mentioned doing poorly in school but he thought it was cause he went to a white school. Diagnosis actually makes sense

It fits me to a tee. I also suck at flirting and reading women who are interested in person.
