How would you describe yourself if you were looking down on yourself in a room with say 3 pretty girls and 3 or 4 friends?

They may be pretty but the desperation cancels out if there's multiple tbh so I'd probably act pretty normal

I think everyone here has Asperger's syndrome because they all are talking about random unrelated stuff when Efe is talking about something that he cares about, which show an inability to understand the correct context to make sex jokes

ask right away

Suppose you found yourself in a room with say 3 pretty girls and 3 or 4 friends. How would autism affect how you handle that situation?

[Ganelon]

Well living with Asperger's > living with low-functioning autism. I can 100% guarantee that.

[MartinGG99]

So I was lurking the website, looking at random old stuff or accounts, and I came across this:

Well living with Asperger's > living with low-functioning autism. I can 100% guarantee that.

I would like to make a point related to this. If I recall correctly, since Autism (of which Asperger's is either considered very similar or the same but just high-functioning) is a developmental disorder, generally the earlier the treatments for it, the better the outcome.

Since Autism is a spectrum -- with a wide range of severity -- it may seem that those with more severe symptoms may be certainly less well-off than those with less severe symptoms. You would be somewhat right, but its not as clear cut for a few reasons.

When it comes to detecting or diagnosing someone, generally symptoms have to be present or severe enough for it to be detected. Without it being detected or known, you can't treat it. Therefore, its reasonable that those with severe symptoms would be diagnosed sooner than those who have less severe symptoms.

What this ends up meaning is that you (I don't have the exact stats here) might find that those with low-functioning autism be diagnosed and begin treatment by the time they're 5, while those with high-functioning Autism might not be diagnosed until they're in or around their teens in some cases. That's a lot of years where high-functioning individuals could have received treatment for their developmental disorder, if they had been detected/diagnosed as soon as people with low-functioning autism were.

At this point, they may have gone through the entirety of elementary school (at least in the U.S. As far as I know; I don't know about other countries educational systems) having your social life aspects and classroom challenges being unmitigated. You may have not received an "Individual Education Plan" (IEP) that may have allowed you a quieter (or less distracting for your senses, given hyper-sensitivity issues) environment for you to learn in. You may have not learned how to make friends or approach situations appropriately (Granted though, that last statement is asking a bit much of a child). Worse, if your symptoms are light, some may even reject that you have a disorder even if you were diagnosed by a professional as having it. (I am hoping this happens rarely, I have no idea how often this happens for individuals with high-functioning autism)

Given that the timing of treatment can determine its effectiveness on an individual, there is an argument to be made that, at least to some degree, those with High-Functioning Autism or Asperger's Syndrome could have the same level difficulties in life than those with more severe symptoms. Obviously, treatment currently cannot solve everything, and in some cases symptoms for Autism can be so severe as to render most of the treatment ineffective (Ex: being very non-verbal / not communicating). And there are certain other symptoms we have no real treatment at all for (that I am aware of), such as "Unusual Sensory Experiences", "Hypo-sensitivities", "Hyper-sensitivities", "sensory over-responsitivity", etc. (There's a lot of different words thrown around to refer to the sensory experiences or whatchamacallits in various studies related to Autism)

So my point is: You're right about individuals with high-functioning autism having it better than persons with low-functioning autism, but the difference can be small or even minimal in some cases presuming the individual with High-Functioning Autism receives treatment later than the person with low-functioning autism. Which normally happens due to the nature of having lesser symptoms rather than high severity symptoms. So i wouldn't agree where you suggest something along the lines of "having high-functioning autism is 100% better than having low-functioning autism". I don't believe in that 100%. Its just not absolute.

Mentioning @Ganelon

In case you wanted to read my above response.

[Gyrlander]

We need more information about these girls. If they are random girls or are friends as well.

Let's say that they're friends of friends basically who are interested in the same games.

To be more precise, there's three girls - Molly, Sarah and Rachel (or other names corresponding to your favourite race)

Molly is in completely different classes to you. This is the first time you've heard about her. You've only heard anecdotes about her from your friends. But apparently she's got a really outgoing, querky personality.

Sarah is your friend's sister. You actually went to the same primary school with her and, though you were never super close, she's been in your life for a long time and you feel pretty comfortable around her. She's a bit sensitive but she's got a kind heart.

Rachel is in a few of your classes. You've talked a little but not much. She's a bit of a quiet character and difficult to get a read on. However, she'll make eye contact with you in corridors and smile casually and wave.

So, what do you do?

You hastily avoid eye contact with Rachel, and, slowly, as desperation takes over, you start pondering on the deep questions of life...

You fail to get any closer to any of the girls and life continues like nothing ever happened.

Game Over!

So, what do you do?

I proclaim my homosexuality and automatically become close friends with them.

[Efekannn02]

How About Try All 3 Of Them?

[yzb25]

I proclaim my homosexuality and automatically become close friends with them.

Molly: 'Woah, woah... err... HEEEEEEEEEEEEH?'

Rachel looks at you like you're crazy.

Molly's jaw hangs in shock, but she doesn't seem creeped out. In fact, she seems oddly intrigued.

Gyrlander: 'Yeah, that's right! I'm gay. And I'm not ashamed of it!'

Sarah: 'Well, I think it's nice to be so forthright with who you really are. You're really inspiring!'

Molly: 'Siiiiiiiiick!'

Sarah: 'M-Molly! Don't be rude! His sexuality is not "sick" - it's simply who he is!'

Sarah lowers her head and glances at the floor 'I'm just surprised you never told me...'

Rachel continues to look at you like you're crazy.

Well, looks like that broke the ice... In fact, that shattered it.

What do you do?

[Efekannn02]

Rachel sounds like a Yuri i hate her

Sarah sounds cute and Molly sounds cool

i cant pick between them 2

Anecdotes though? Molly aint a legend IM BETTER THAN HER!!!!
ok i love this shit

Yzb can u make this a legit thing? Like make a signup thread for Forum RPG and then you tell a story and have us all make decisions on what to do next? You’re a really great storyteller!

Or do you only do dating sims? Then I guess that would just be an orgy....
