But, but! I have Asperger's Disassociative Menopausal Sociopathy! This Quiz SAYS So!

[vianegativa]

Um guys?

Perhaps we should consider a professional assessment rather than put vast quanties of faith in a quiz to determine whether or not we have Aspergers's Syndrome.

Why is self-diagnosis with exotic yet non-debilitating diseases so fashionable of late?

Oh, one more thing. I've been told I exhibit AS symptoms. After review, I decided I don't have AS at all.

I'm just an asshole. :-)

You have a good point though. People seem to WANT to diagnose themselves with all of this crap. I just don't get it.

It's the "In" Disease! Soon Meredith Viera on the View will have it!

From Encyclopedia Dramatica:

"Everyone on Fanfiction.net either has Asspies, Lysdexia, and/or ADHD; which begs the question, why are they writing?"

Aw, but that's no fun. :-}}}}

Amusingly enough, I just read Hari Kunzru's book "Transmission", about an Indian in the Silicon Valley who gets royally fucked and ends up unleashing a virus that takes down the planet.

In it, one of the major early plotpoints involves an Asbergers quiz thats passed around everyone in the Valley, and how a lot of the programmers viewed Asbergers as a sign of success and intelligence, and the main character really freaks out about it.

Fiction = Life, in this situation. Clearly.

It's like an insitutional diagnosis for being "unique." Vastly annoying how some socially deficient people search out a disease to justify asshattery.

he he. When I was working with my shrink on the proper combo of meds for Adult ADD we had trouble with the meds for Sub-Type 6 (Temporal) with makes me angry and dark all the time. And snap at total strangers for doing stupid shit.

Well. on the third try I asked him, "are you sure this is the ADD. Couldn't I just be an asshole?"

He didn't laugh. Maybe he has assburgers. :-)

But the ads on TV say I have male erectile dysfunction, acid reflux disease, AND a stinky cooter!

In my defense, I totally didn't take it seriously.

Guess I have to go back to being bitchy for no good reason. WOE IS ME

I'm pretty sure I do have it, actually - but not because I took a quiz. Sure as I can be without involving professionals. :)

You're not an asshole. You CAN be, as can we all, but as a rule you're not.

A lot of folks exhibit AS symptoms, including me. It seems to be a rather popular diagnosis, but it's not nearly as prevalent as folks would have you think.

It's the new medical meme... kind of like ADHD.

Cute

When therapy gets too close to home for me, I duck and fall back to what an old friend told me just out of high school- 'you're just a little bit autistic', and so I pulled this trick last time, and the therapist said, 'I used to think you might be right, until I saw how giddy you get when around (my bear R)'

Undone by giddiness- sigh. Luckily enough, r actually likes my inner asshole
