Chris Rock is on the autistic spectrum

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Is that why his fingers never separate when he talks with his hands?

Breh like a san andreas character

 

[GoldenGlove]

Must be why he has a weird one-dimensional personality and the emotional depth of a cardboard box.

Not particularly funny either, just controversial

Comes off as a skinny cornball

Never understood the hype behind this guy.

Also, can't stand that constant screaming with that weird smile.

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.

It can also mean that they function in society. I know a few people on the spectrum who are just their awkward oblivious selves but their obsession is something that they actually can make a living doing and they got enough support or people who got their back. There's levels to it as people mentioned

Me on the other hand camoflauging is almost second nature. Ive been training myself to do it for half my life. Mimicry is how I learned how to talk to people, what to say, how to dress even in some ways how to physically move. All this because I wanted be social, have friends and stop being made fun of for what I thought was no reason. But its fukking exhausting mentally and emotionally watching everything I do as far as communication (verbal and non-verbal). Why I dont get close to people and I've really hit a wall as far as socializing in the office.

Breeds a lot of self loathing as well for those of us who are aware. I still feel like I have to hide myself from people.

 

[SmoothOperator88]

I was formally diagnosed with this a few months ago

Welcome breh.

Hit it right on the nose, /thread.

I have to add too, growing up with a brother who was autistic to the point of not processing language, and knowing many people with different degrees of Aspergers, they tend to exhibit the same unmistakable traits. Can be sometimes easy to tell who is and isn't on the spectrum.

Facts. I've never paid attention to Chris Rock enough to get a good read but there are a few cats in sports (since that's my long term thing) that I can tell are definitely on the spectrum.

im sure if we dig enough we all have some sort of "dysfunction"

Mental health is a big "business"

Didn’t say it wasn’t real. My nephew has it. I’ve been around the educational system my whole life. I’ve seen extreme autism and high “ functioning”. Add that these school districts that are majority white teachers and administrators are also diagnosing black inner city kids when they have no knowledge of their environment.

First and foremost parents will diagnose their kids just for a check. 2nd it’s big business to get everybody some type of disorder. Thats why I said take the test. Cause it could be some simple thing on there which could be explained if you go back into your history. So cause you don’t like crowds of people or shy from eye contact, because you had a traumatic experience in your childhood makes you autistic?

Some might not look you in the eye cause they may be autistic. But they also coulda been abused.

All people have quirks that they hide or apart of them that they hide or work on.

look how they was giving everybody that died corona. Hell, blue people have been linked to a genetic mutation. But to let society tell it it’s the standard of beauty.

Point is everybody has been on the spectrum at some point in their life.

I agree and disagree with you.

One, I agree with you that we have to think a whole lot more and be more careful with mental health. We also need to put into account that we as black people need to make our mental health a priority. we tend to neglect our mental health or be anti psychology. We have to overcome that way of thinking because it doesnt work. I do feel that the puzzle or bridge that people are constantly overlooking which is missing in this convo about environment and nurture is psychology-psychiatry. All these things such as how someone perceives their environment, how they are viewed in society, their family, their family history, their culture, their ancestry, and etc plays into that shyt and sadly, it hasnt been studied and is ignored by the mental health community.

The real threat that has come about with that controlled opposition of black lives matter scam game, covert operation is the whole misinformation about the whole entire issue of racism against black people is police brutality. Thats what the agents are doing. That's what black lives matter been about. Let's keep it 100. Black people don't even make up or account for all the police shootings that happen every year in America. There isn't that much black people in America to begin with. There are more white people killed in police shootings in America obviously because theres more white people.

What that misinformation about racism being about police brutality does is take all the attention away from the real issues that affect us such as systemic racism. Let's face, the psych field like all institutions in this country is racist towards black people. So obviously we gonna have to take on that shyt too. We have no choice.

Two, we have to understand that mental health like physical health, in it's own right is just as important and vital to survival. When someone's mind is not right, it can produce disastrous results not only for the person person with the fukked up mind but for anybody who is near or around this person. Mental health is basically a public health issue where the human condition is being maintained. We have to respect the human condition which is what makes us us. We have to understand that there are certain abnormalities that require intervention in order to function in this society. Autism is one of them. Believe it or not, autistic minds do think differently. They do need the intervention of a rather normal mind to help them "get it" so they can survive. They may understand but they don't get it. You know how it feels like when that sudden revelation hits in mind where you figure out something you didnt know or was trying to figure out but just couldn't.."lightbulb go off in your head". When it comes to social cues such as when someone is being sarcastic or just joking with them, they dont understand where theyll take it literally.

Now when i think about it... I have a hard time reading sarcasm or when someone is joking with me, people have had to tell me that they were joking and not being serious. that's one of the many reasons why I'm now in the process of looking for a specialist to take that test to make sure this isn't what's been there all along getting in my way. Could be opening a can of worms or finding out something I don't want to know.

Maybe not all but definitely a lot of people.

I didn't realize I had an Auditory Processing Disorder until I was 35 years old. I went to a counselor to help deal with my ADD in terms of conversations with my wife. I'd never gotten diagnosed with ADD, just always assumed I had it cause I couldn't pay attention in class, couldn't pay attention in meetings, lost track during conversations, etc.

He started asking me questions and realized that all my attention issues ONLY came when someone was talking. I can read a book, take a test, play a game, and I never lose attention. Then he started asking more questions and everything started coming together - the fact that I had a speech impediment when I was a kid, the fact that I always pronounced words wrong, the fact that I have a phobia of talking on the phone, the fact that I can't understand unusual accents and I'm very slow to pick up new languages, the way I'd always feel a strong urge to duck out of parties within 5-10 minutes if there was a lot of talking going on around me. And this weird thing happens all the time where I won't understand what someone said, then the words will form a good 10 seconds later.

It turns out that I have this Auditory Processing Disorder where I hear just fine, but my brain doesn't process the verbal information I hear correctly. I can understand if I concentrate really hard but it gets tiring after about 6-7 minutes and I need a break. Its always been easier when I see the person, turns out that I've been reading lips and body language my entire life and didn't even know it. I'm GOAT at reading nonverbal clues - like I'll watch people talking in another language, or too far away from me to hear, and I'll figure out what they're talking about and their positions on it without even knowing a single word they've said. That's why the phone bothers me so much. I made up for it in school by always reading everything, so I was this incredible student and no one realized I had a learning disorder, they just thought I was disrespectful and didn't pay attention in class cause I knew everything. Teacher and professors always getting pissed off at me cause I'd get distracted and wasn't paying attention when they asked questions even though I'd ace every test. They didn't know that I couldn't actually pay attention.

I think I definitely have some communication disorder. As a toddler I apparently had a speech problem so bad they were gonna put me in special ed if I didn't go through some speech program. I still had to take speech classes through Elementary school and to this day I still struggle to pronounce shyt and stumble on my words - like I know what I want to say but my brain can't spit it out specifically when I'm talking. And if I talk for a couple of minutes with no breaks...I can't even describe what happens but it's like my mouth stops working for a second or so and I have to stop to gather myself. I'm already self-conscious about public speaking and that shyt makes it even worse cuz I know it's gonna happen. I've learned to cover it by pretending to cough

this is eerily familiar

Interesting.

I'm absolutely positive that Adam sandler also has autism.

Not related but I do not find Adam Sandler funny AT ALL. nikka is one of the corniest "acclaimed" comedians.
