Quote:So I feel like crap cause I have occasionaly said some stuff I probably wouldn't have said had I known you have AS, so i apologize... It actually makes alot of sense on some levels because i wondered if you just didn't understand sarcasm or facetious comments... Though, if you are just trolling, that's pretty messed up.
The sarcasm issue is caused by an inability to understand when a word or sentence should not be interpreted literally - the same problem that caused me to decline a "suggestion" at work. It is also why I make inappropriate comments sometimes. I think of a word's literal meaning and don't see how it can mean something else to another person, which causes me to sound bad when I am trying to be nice. That is a very common symptom for people with AS. Now you know to never make that mistake again.
Quote:You are so full of crap. You've spent all this time saying that you have AS and now you're saying "well, maybe I do or don't, but I must be on the spectrum." Stop the game please.
thats not what she said...
Quote:Sort of. Some people are affected more severely than others. However, AS is on the same scale as what people call "full-blown autism" (like the Rain Man character), so different diagnoses are given to people with different degrees of malfunction.
You know, for somebody claiming to have AS (who now claims to just be on the spectrum as of the last hour), you sure seem pretty desperate to continue to convince people that you're autistic and that they should feel sorry for you. You've had 2 different posters wives who have Master's Degrees in both Special Ed and Psychology say that there's no way that you have autism. And you've had another poster who has a son with autism and said that there's no way that you have it. And you still have not responded to Achilles offer to take you to a Jaguars/Gators game, or to the poster's wives. I don't believe anything that you say anymore...
I'm so sick of this thread. Just close it now mods...
Quote:thats not what she said...
Yes. That's what she is implying. I understand that you've spent a long time trying to defend her, but you need to just accept that you, and others were wrong about her this whole time.

I'm not defending anyone... people with no experience in the field diagnosing a condition by posts on an internet message board carry no weight...The poster was diagnosed by a REAL DR with years of experience in the field...No disrespect intended to those up and coming in the field...

It does not matter what somebody's wife thinks. If a psychologist with a PhD says I have it, I have it. And that is what happened.
Nobody has any right to judge me without knowing everything about my personal and medical history that is in any way related to being an Aspie.
The moderators will close this thread when I am ready to stop discussing the issue because I started it.
Quote:He was kidding. I asked him if he was serious about buying me a hotdog and he said, "They're not that good."
How was he wrong about me?
I wasn't sure if I was remembering the posters name correctly, or not. It was the poster named JeepJag wasn't it? Single guy with a teenage son IIRC.
Didn't he not believe you had AS, and made fun of you? Until he met you at that game, to which he later apologized for doubting the AS.
I could be way off base, but I don't think so. Wonder what happened to that guy, haven't seen him for quite some time.
I think at this point it is pretty clear to anyone that isnt in denial, that j dub is a complete liar.

Now that you mention it, I remember a guy named Jaguar Jeep. He made fun of me, but was not a jerk about it. His son was at the game too.
He must have left the board because I have not seen him for years.

You've been told that she was diagnosed, all you have is the word of someone you dont know.

If I was obviously lying, nobody would believe me.

Classic JDub, deluded that she makes the rules for all. Lol.

You are correct. In fact, I had an exchange of PMs with him regarding this very subject.
Quote:If I was obviously lying, nobody would believe me.
how about those gators tickets? you and your mom, i will pay for both of you to go to a gators game.
if i am wrong about your condition, i will buy you and your mom tickets to another gators game.
Quote:You've been told that she was diagnosed, all you have is the word of someone you dont know.
And a long friendship with someone else with AS that allowed him to clearly see symptoms of that disorder in me as well.

Do you know why he quit coming here?
Quote:I think at this point it is pretty clear to anyone that isnt in denial, that j dub is a complete liar.
Actually, it is you that have made incorrect statements, and you can't back up what you are saying beyond saying you know she doesn't have AS and we should just believe you.
Quote:regardless, it doesnt matter. what matters is reality. in reality j dub is specifically avoiding any and all posts that involve her meeting me.
i will leave it at that. i have offered to potentially pay for her and her mother to go to two gators home games for free next season.
if she doesnt want to take me up on that offer, then i will take it as avoidance of being proven a fraud and no internet articles or definition of professions are going to change that.
Of course it doesn't matter, that site directly disputed your claim.
Honestly, your offer to buy her tickets to a game just to prove you are right in this discussion is beyond creepy.

What that would do is prove himself wrong because AS is more obvious in real life than on a message board.
