How do you know you're NOT autistic?

>>81872653 (OP)
Not being on 4chan is a pretty good indicator.

>>81872653 (OP)
Because I'm the complete opposite of rigidly routined, I prefer spontaneity instead of predictability, I have no real sensory issues that I can think of, I hop from hobby to hobby monthly, and I DO recognize social cues, I just don't care to use them. Not everyone who's unique or awkward is "autistic", autism a specific condition, not to mention one that many other disorders can easily be mistaken for.

>>81872661
4chan is normalfag central, especially /r9k/

>>81872653 (OP)
i am not autistic i am not autistic i am not autistic i am not autistic until proven otherwise

>>81872653 (OP)
>How do you know you're NOT autistic?
>The DSM-5-TR lists five criteria (with examples) which include two groups of criteria (the first two):[3]

>Persistent impairments in social communication and interaction, characterized by difficulties in social-emotional exchange, nonverbal communication, and forming or understanding relationships.
>Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities, as manifested by at least two of the following: repetitive actions or speech, strict adherence to routines, intense fixations, and unusual sensory responses.
>Symptoms must be evident early in development, though they may only become noticeable when social demands exceed abilities or may be masked by learned coping strategies later in life.
>Symptoms cause significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of current functioning.
>The symptoms are not better explained by intellectual developmental disorder or global developmental delay.
The symptoms are pretty obvious

>How do you know you're NOT autistic?
I've had sex with a handful of women and dated some of them. I assume that this wouldn't be possible if I was a sperg.

>>81872653 (OP)
You can't be autistic because it's a fake diagnosis

>>81872653 (OP)
Cause my mommy and dada told im not

>>81872653 (OP)
because I am painfully aware of how cringe I am

>>81872713
4chan just attracts Germans who are often mistaken for autists

>>81872653 (OP)
I know several autists and I don't face the same issues they do.
I'm cluster C, not autistic.

>>81872653 (OP)
>How do you know you're NOT autistic?
If you're able to interact socially normal with people, you're probably not. Or just mildly aspie.

>>81872897
I was actually just saying "the normie, the" the whole time.

>>81872862
As someone with OCD this just makes me even more confused

>>81872676
Nigger you just have adhd and autism

>>81872986
I seriously doubt it. ADHD, *maybe*, but I don't have any of the specifically spergy things like "shirt tags feel like psychic torture" or "I have an 100 page list of dates I like". Plus I never stim, a trademark of both disorders. I'm not neurodivergent, I'm just a highly sensitive, analytical, and introspective neurotypical.

>>81873058
What's your age and khhv status this is the real diagnosing criteria for autism and adhd in males
>inb4 people think I'm joking
I am 100% seriously if you are a virgin past 21 and aren't autistic you are a severe statistical anomaly

>>81873071
21 but I'm more of a "wizard" than incel. It simply just isn't a very important part of life for me. And by the way men with ADHD lose their virginity much earlier, not sure where you're getting that from.

>>81872653 (OP)
I seemed like a genuine sperg as a kid, stereotypical "gifted child, failed adult" but I must've grown out of it or something. Besides having virtually no social skills I don't relate to most autistic traits.

>>81873071
and youre severely statistically retarded

>>81873127
nta
>It simply just isn't a very important part of life for me
Then you're a volcel, not a wizard.

>>81872653 (OP)
Autism is just the doctors not telling you youre legitimately inbred

>>81873071
Not everyone is a normalfag who goes around sticking their pisstube in random beef curtains, faggot

>>81873167
Wizards are volcels, the vast majority of "incels" are volcels too. Sex seems like way more trouble than it's worth when you can simply fap and move on with your day, I just don't care.

>>81872653 (OP)
I probably am actually. It would make the most sense and I've had two separate therapists bring up that I might be autistic. But I can't afford to get a diagnosis.

>>81873165
Yeah but what are the odds of you being a virgin and on r9k and not being autistic HUH

>>81873206
3d is pd, sexhavers are faggots who should go back

>>81872653 (OP)
>How do you know you're NOT autistic?
I'm pretty sure I am. Tested at 30th percentile; cusp of mild and severe. Naturally, it's taking years for a formal test and diagnosis.
It has become politically incorrect to diagnose autists, and thereby justify their unemployability in this shit economy, and therefore their 'bux requirements.
Fortunately, I already get 'bux; but I want my 'tism on the record someday, so they can never take it away from me, or put me back on pointless appointments.

>>81873194
Wizards are incels with age 30+
And absolutely most incels want to have sex and gf, I can asure you.

>>81872653 (OP)
I aint no filthy spaztraunaut faggot

I am a sick azz motha fukka

c:<<<

>>81873220
Wizards have simply chose to opt out of many aspects of life, including sex and work. Incels simply refuse to lower their standards. My point still stands.

>>81873245
"I live in my own reality"
sure, have fun

I will never understand the desire to be diagnosed or pride in ever having autism. Not only is it rare, it overlaps with other disorders such as narcissism (by about ~60%). Every time I interact with these freaks, they act like they are on the verge of curing cancer by rotting inside or being slightly above average at ping-pong. Theres never any traits or characteristics that make them relatable and many autists I have interacted with are both socially and intellectually impaired. Literally the definition of "I have no mouth but I must scream".

>>81873260
You're assuming everyone else is as sex-obsessed as you. It's really just not that important for some people, simple as that. You could just accuse them of coping but from many of the "incels" I've seen they're fairly average looking guys. The same guys who won't settle for a sheboon because "bestiality doesn't count" or won't betabux because it's "cucked". My point still stands.

>>81873276
Yeah the average guys you notice are white dudes who are either poor or looking for someone also white. The niggers refuse to date their own.

>>81873270
Because autism is "cool" and trendy now (especially for women)

>>81873270
>desire to be diagnosed
Because I can't function in my day to day life and a diagnosis would help me explain to people why I struggle with certain things and allow me to get workplace accommodations and possibly benefits from the government.

>>81873270
>Every time I interact with these freaks, they act like they are on the verge of curing cancer by rotting inside or being slightly above average at ping-pong.
topkek

>>81873289
>a diagnosis would give me an excuse when nobody cares about my actions or behavior at all
Interesting.

>>81873270
the narcissism is just a self-defense mechanism, if they don't have that kind of pride then they would have to "acknowledge" they are not "special" and that they have to try to fit into society as a disabled individual making it very demoralizing.

So by believing they have some special talents they can keep from fitting into society and not feel bad about it, while the other way around they will feel disadvantaged while feeling the urge to fit in anyway.

And modern culture is just very unforgiving. People are very scared of doing their own thing, so anything that deviates from normal literally activates their fight-flight response, making you the "enemy". People just are not themselves.

>>81873297
>nobody cares about my actions or behavior at all
I really fucking wish that was the case, anon.

>>81873299
Shit nigger the autists got their defense lawyer on standby

>>81872863
You are a troon i assume. You have to be. Which means you are actually a sperg. Most troons are

>>81873270
>Every time I interact with these freaks, they act like they are on the verge of curing cancer by rotting inside or being slightly above average at ping-pong. Theres never any traits or characteristics that make them relatable and many autists I have interacted with are both socially and intellectually impaired.
Lmao fella described me perfectly

>>81873071
sex is literally the most normalfag activity possible
get the fuck off my board

>>81873314
And so are pedophiles, which most troons also happen to be. The venn diagram is a circle

simple. you should be able to solve this.

>>81873352
This is an infantilized and oversimplified understanding of autism. We aren't toddlers.

>>81873386
it's a legitimate academic test for theory of mind, you sperg.

>>81873394
I'm aware of the test. Sally will look in the basket because that's where she left it, obviously. Autism is far more than just how you interpret some cartoon.

>>81873071
Then I too am a statistical anomaly. I lost my v card a 25 and im as neurotypical as they come. Ive had girls show interest since I was a kid and got asked out by a girl in college. I didnt lose it earlier because I wanted to be with a girl I felt I had shit in common with, not because they liked my face. Im actually really good at reading social cues and body language, love trying new foods, have no sensory issues, im spontaneous and hate planning and routines, i dont struggle focusing on a task, im adaptive/reactive over being rigid and i like meeting new people as long as theyre not idiots and trashy.
The most autistic thing you could put on me is I love history, natural sciences and video games.

>>81873270
Holy TRVTH NVKE.
You described the average autist perfectly. The weird sense of superiority over being objectively kind of retarded and generally lacking is impressive.

>>81873446
>Sally will look in the basket because that's where she left it, obviously.
but i can see how an autistic person might not think this. which is an extra layer deep.

i have an ability you just lack. as long as you don't harm anyone, it's fine.

>>81873520
I have more abilities you lack than vice versa.

>>81873532
true, it's not a competition. it's not even 'better' or 'worse', much of the time, as though it's zero-sum. human beings are a mess.

what are your abilities, anon?

>>81872653 (OP)
I'm starting to wonder if I am actually. I always dismissed the idea because generally I am very socially aware and get along with everyone, I just prefer solitude. I'm 25 now though and I have no friends and am khhv so something's not right. Would an autismo know that they're autistic or is it kinda like schizophrenia?

>>81872653 (OP)
Why does it matter if you're autistic? What's so important about labeling yourself?

>>81873605
>Would an autismo know that they're autistic
That's what I've always wondered. If you were autistic it's not like you'd even know what not being autistic is like, you have no frame of reference

>>81873615
So you can finally answer the question of "why am I so different?" and put it to rest already

>>81872653 (OP)
I know when someone is being retarded near me, the special people detector only normies have

>>81873615
good to put a term to a set of symptoms, that's just how it works. and then once someone has the label, there are tiny things society can do.

ideally, there'd be a cure. 'neurodiversity' is all well and good, but take other cases where a child's brain hasn't developed typically. language acquisition or similar. if you could just install that in their brains as adults, you would. it's a problem to be solved.

>>81872653 (OP)
People aren't "are" or "aren't" autistic. Just like with every psychiatric thing.
It's the opinion of one psychiatrist, another may have a different one and there's no objective way to tell which of both is wrong, unlike corporal medicine where if one doctor says you have cancer and the other doesn't, one of them is just wrong.

>>81872653 (OP)
When I was a child, I got told that I had ADD, then many years later, I got told that I had Asperger's too. I got placed on an IEP and was medicated. Most of the people I get along with are ND, as well. I've had some NTs try telling me that I don't act like I have ADD or Asperger's, though, so I don't know. Maybe I've just got better at masking?

>>81874058
>I've had some NTs try telling me that I don't act like I have ADD or Asperger's
They don't know shit
