I have asperger but yeah those things look a bit like austistic behavior. But I'm not to judge about it.

Myself, it's the same.

I just wish whatever it is that I have could be a diagnosis that'd get me a check from the government.

I'm mentally crippled and can't hold a job, don't want one really. It'd pay for the gov't to pay me before I do something drastic where they'd pay ALOT more if I was in the BIG HOUSE !!!

Who the fuck does want a job? You're seem like you're just so lazy and immature that you think the government should give you a handout because you MIGHT DO SOMETHING TOTALLY CRAZY GUYS. Jesus.

And I'm about as fucking liberal as the come.

Holy shit. It comes down to that alone, for so many problems.

I try to look for ways to put my difficulties into terms that make sense, to paint a picture of it, so that I might find a way to properly process it. It's total chaos otherwise.

It's no surprise that so many would self-diagnose these days. It's like you need to name the demon, externalize it.

I suck at math and science
I hate being around people
I daydream/zone out to the point where it has affected most of my school work (but I get decent grades).

This is all self-diagnosed, but I'm loooking around for a doctor in my town so I can actually get it tested.

as others say, most of it is kinda normal, I think. The only thing that strikes me is that you learned to read before you were 2.

Is this a medical diagnosis or based on a couple minutes on wikipedia?

I'm not lazy, am always on the go, I just wanna have FUN !! Try to keep up with me ! I'll go with the immature part though, what follows maturity, death right ? I have much to look forward to ! :D

Now.....where's my check ?

The only people who are like that are people who were forced to have jobs when they were kids and therefore don't know how to exist without one. You're not special just because you're lazy.

Yeah you are lazy. Who the fuck doesn't want to just have fun? I wish I never had to work and could spend all my time hanging out and painting and stuff like that, but that's (unfortunately) not the way it works. And there are many types of maturity. You seem to have none of them.

Haha, sorry I was half joking. I tend to talk in extremes, especially when I'm not serious or worrying that people might actually care or take what I'm saying as important.

I'm under the impression that a hallmark of Asperger's is a lack of a "filter," so to speak, and inability to pick up on subtleties (tone, body language, etc.) resulting in saying a lot of inappropriate things.

Most of the stuff you listed--it just sounds like you're smart in the brains.
