I have it but was born in the 80s...I was overlooked and not diagnosed. Look at the Medical texts definition of symptoms and be honest with yourself. It was like having a broken arm you entire life without knowing what a broken arm was...and then you see the reason described to you and you say "oh yeah...that makes total sense." Then take that information to your doctor...who probably does not even know what it is. I asked more than 5 doctors about my symptoms and they all told me I was depressed despite the fact that I was not and had the proof that I was not. It is not easy. I suffered for over 20 years.

"I just need to be able to connect to people like you can. Then, I can make everyone happy." One of the most realistic depiction of Asperger's I've ever seen. There's that stereotype of people with Asperger's lacking empathy, when honestly you have to care so much--I expend so much time and effort trying to make the people in my life happy and often not doing a great job of it, because Asperger's makes it hard to read people and understand social situations. Same as Abed, when I find a foolproof method to make someone in my life happy, I lean very hard on it because it feels so good to be able to give them something that will unquestioningly make them feel good.

Also part of the reason that the condition was re-named from Aspergers to Type One Autistic spectrum dissorder.

Well, speaking as someone who as at minimum borderline Autism spectrum and who probably would have been diagnosed at having Asperger's Syndrome as a kid if it had been a thing at the time, I have to say that whether or not you actually fall in the spectrum from a diagnosis perspective, you certainly have the right cadence of speech down. So, my guess is that if you consider yourself a nerd, have some degree of hyper-focus, and there is at least one sort of trivial seeming thing that you are passionate about, then probably yes. I don't necessarily think though that a diagnosis, occupational therapy, or psychiatry would be good for you; it's probably sufficient to be self-aware and establish what you yourself want to do about it to improve your social skills with normals. Personally, I've found RPGs very therapeutic, as it allows me to create personas for myself to interact with others through.
@oremfrien2 жыл бұрын
I'm Asperger's and this is what I've come to realize about the social mask. Neurotypicals find peace and solace in predictable rhythms and, so, they create those rhythms. Whereas we try to create rhythms by performing those tasks that we enjoy as outlets of our creativity, they do it through the practice of rituals. They ask each other nonsense questions for which they don't actually want the answer like "How are you?". They set standards of decorum so that the possibility of hurt feelings is minimal, even if it results in worse outcomes. They knowingly lie to one another because they wish to do immoral activities and not hold themselves accountable. It's bizarre, at least to me, that this is how they act. I find the particle-wave duality of an electron more coherent than this desire to continually engage falsely with the universe as a self-calming ritual, but, then again, I'm Asperger's and I prefer reality and honesty.
@chelronin78432 жыл бұрын
I’m not sure if I’m neurotypical but its not that people are being inherently fake but moreso they set boundaries with people they just met, parents, certain authority figures, etc. Its not really done with that intention, its like a natural reaction. Another thing is acting, talking, or copying the mannerisms of the person you talk to. This is also done unconsciously. However there’s absolutely nothing wrong with not doing that. As long as you mean well, act and talk however you want. Both sides do what they do without thinking about it, and its not like neurotypical people do that constantly, its only in specific social situations that they feel being “honest” would either make things too awkward for themselves, the other person, or maybe its just easier and more comfortable for them

The reason it's no longer a term is not over diagnosis. In fact, most women with it and people of color have been under diagnosed their whole lives and couldn't get the proper help. Even with the diagnosis, not many people know much about it. For example, I live in a major city and they can't find anyone for me who treats adults with ASD-1 (what used to be called Aspergers). It was changed to ASD-1 in order for people to qualify for the help they need. People with ASD-1 are at much greater risk for suicide than neurotypicals. It's mostly because of how people treat us, ostracize us, and misinterpret us. Please refrain from making incorrect generalizations. On a lighter note, I love the character Abed and relate to the episode where everyone else tested as a psychopath except him. People often think we don't have empathy when in fact, we tend to notice the unempathetic nature of many (not all) neurotypicals.

I gave only the exact information given by three people who helped LITERALLY write the book on it. (DSM-5). Several of the top people in the field, themselves said that the main reason for the change in definition was overdiagnosed at the base level. And people with type 2 or different, were being diagnosed with Asperger's or type -1. They made the decision to change the classification in order to deter parents who were bugging the doctors about their children having Asperger's, something they read on the internet about having the words "high functioning" in it, instead of giving their children a proper diagnosis of something more serious. If I can find the facetime group discussion I saw by the top people in the field, I will post that in the description. This video had likes and comments turned off for the first six months because I knew everybody would start coming in with their own emotions about the topic. That, and the fact that I have suffered from it for over 30 years, was the main factor in me making sure that no information I gave, was generalized or false. (or if it was generalized, then the person who made the classification himself was the one who over generalized it)

I've always really loved Abed, but never fully knew why until recently. I found out that I have ASD, it was honestly one of the best days of my life. I started going through lists of symptoms and basically all of them described me in some way. All these aspects of myself that I always found a bit annoying because it meant I was never fully able to understand or relate to others suddenly had a place of origin and that felt amazing. If it wasn't for characters like Abed Nadir I probably wouldn't have been as comfortable with my diagnosis as I was. He's such a great form of representation because he shows that you can have this disorder and manage it, not only that but you can also find those that won't judge you for it. He's probably one of my favorite characters ever put to screen because of that.

I'm not on the spectrum but i really relate to when they're trying to read an analog clock and Abed is slower than everybody else and he goes "I'm gifted in other ways" haha my roommates threatened to cover the oven timer with an analog clock so I couldn't read it and had to learn. i could learn if I tried, but what's the point? It's the digital age.
@RandomPickles3 жыл бұрын
My 15 year old daughter "can not" read the hands on a clock. That is only because they refuse to teach it school, and now she refuses to learn how, using the excuse of "can't" It is a new independent phenomena that I have noticed in younger people.Did I put that part in the video? I remember laughing at it because it was NOT a Asperger's trait that I am familiar with or suffer from, so that made it even funnier as a side joke. But if I included it in this video than I might have made a mistake. If you are just referencing the show en mass than hell yeah! lol

@@RandomPickles you didn't include it, no haha. Interesting to know its not a trait of Aspergers! I didn't know but I assumed since it was an Abed quirk it might be. Reading an analog clock is a skill and like any skill, if you don't practice it, it gets rusty. I like Abed's line "i'm gifted in other ways" because that's how I feel about the issue - I could waste time learning an obsolete skill I was taught in 3rd grade, or I could focus on my 3rd year university courseload. I do feel gifted in other ways.

@@RandomPickles I have issues with analog clocks, certain math concepts, tying my shoes, and understanding distance. It COULD be a sign of autism, as I was told by friend who pointed out I have certain issues that she has and she was diagnosed with ADHD at 15 while I was just told I was "unique" because I did well in school and didn't "look" or "act" autistic. It's more related to ADD/ADHD than autism.

@@dinahmyte3749 A clock and math are mechanical. If somebody with Asperger's learns the base method, there should be zero confusion. They follow the same rules every single time without fail, and you can base reality off of them. If anything, they are comforting to people who can not decipher the uncertain, tribal actions with little meaning that humans use to communicate. The thing about clocks that Abed REALLY freaked out about makes total sense. The changing of the daylight savings time. A human creation that goes against the observed reality of the universe. A concept based on looseness and human concept. You may have any list of a number of conditions. But I am pretty sure not knowing how to read a mechanical clock is not the result of a condition that if anything, would make you more connected with them than anything. I am not a doctor, but doctors took 20 years of me explaining to them my conditions for them to figure it out, so I would not trust general practitioners about this to begin with.

@@RandomPickles I had high grades in math, including on my ACTs, but I couldn't understand slope in geometry, I understood how it worked and why, but physically never got it right. I took advanced courses in college, did well, but didn't understand English concepts like Authors meaning, despite getting a degree in linguistics. I still have issues with clocks and my shoe laces at 24 despite working in an academic setting and getting ready for grad school, it's a sign of dyspraxia, not SPECIFICALLY of autism, which was my point. It's a chronic condition, so literally, the rules don't work in my brain.

One of my favorite subtle bits with Abed is in S3E2 when he casually says that he tells everyone apart by their hair color. People with face-blindness (they can't recognize someone by their face) will often recognize someone by their hairstyle or color.

Yeah, people like to dislike Sheldon compared to Abed, but that is only because he is more unlikeable than Abed haha But then there are people who try to to say that Sheldon does not have the same thing. He does though. Not everybody is the same and it is a spectrum. Also the way your were, or were not raised, as well as all life experience has the same effect on people with Type 1 Autism as it does everybody else. I was forced onto the streets at 14 and had to join the military around the age of 19. So I am not exactly like either of them.
