Honestly, why would you use autism as an excuse? Why? It just makes you stupid and people like you are the reason why I can't take people seriously if they say they have autism, aspergers, paranoia, OCD, ADHD, you name it anymore.Stamplate by =1Foxylady

I just love this stamp. SO MUCH.
I'm Aspergers but I'm actually scared to say it because some people will go "TAHTRS AN ASHKOOSE SO U CAN BE TREATED AS A FUCKING GOD U NOT HAV ASSBURGUERS U RETARDED TWAT" and some more shit. In fact I remember seeing an stamp saying "You don't have Aspergers" or something similar.
And who are to blame? The dumb assholes who uses Aspergers and other disorders so they will win all the arguements and they'll be treated as if the where inmortal deities. Ugh I hate those kind of people, they make people who ACTUALLY have tany of these disorders look like idiots.

I was constantly bullied all my life because of the disorders i have. That led me to depression, loneliness, ruined my life and make a suicide attempt. Don't use it as an excuse? Yes, i've failed so many things because i'm "stupid" or "lazy"
Bullshit!

Yes, but when every single teenage girl you meet who you piss off or they're crying say it's because "I haz assburgers and dyslexia and ADHD and anger management problems" it starts to get unbelievable. I know when a person has a disorder, it's noticeable, but instantly saying you have it as a defense is retarded as fuck.

I don't ever use my "disorder" as an excuse for anything, but I hate it when people assume I'm going to use my ADHD as an excuse for shit.

You know what I say to kids who use their "conditions" as excuses for me to treat them in a "special way"?
I say, "Well if you think your just so special/mental, then why don't you go to the fucking mental institute and go pay for some nurses to give a shit about your "disorders" because I am not going to treat you any different from any person I know because your different."

Several of my friends are very easily depressed... I try to convince them that they're in control of their lives and are capable of so many great things if they put their minds to it, but a couple of them would rather wallow in self-pity rather than try to BE the change they want to see in their lives.
I understand that depression is difficult to handle, and I am willing to support anyone cursed by such a plague, but it can be so easily conquerable if the victim is willing to take back their lives from this greedy disease. If they need help, I'm always willing to try and coax them out of their hazy sadness.

I don't know about your friends, but I know I never wallowed in self-pity.
Depression is different with different people, and the causes are different.
There is a kind that is caused purely by social or psychological factors, but for me (organic) it was caused by an inbalance of chemicals in the brain, and I had it since I was young (diagnosed finally when I was nine).
Now it always lingers, and while medication and therapy can help it's not as easy as "positive thinking". Depression at times can leave you so numb you're beyond sadness, and other times you could stop and mid laugh and cry hysterically while your chest feels like it's been stabbed. Or you wake up in the middle of the night and cry for hours for no logical reason.
I have a feeling people who complain of Depression on the internet don't really know what it's like, or think feeling glum is what Depression is. XD
(Not having a go at your old comment, just thought to inform you ^^ It is good that you try to help out a friend in need though. Most people squick out at it or think it's weakness. )

Depression is a disease that cannot be solved by just "thinking positively". It is not easily conquerable at all. They don't want to wallow in self-pity, they are incapable of anything else. Depression is literally the inability to cheer yourself up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Actually, it's exactly that. Depression is a state of mind ergo, solvable via 'positive thinking'. Also, before you go telling me that I don't understand, I do perfectly. I was in that boat before.

Depression is a medical condition caused by chemicals in the brain. I understand what you mean that "thinking positive" is literally solving depression, but my point is that many depressed individuals are incapable of "thinking positive" without the help of medicine or therapy of some sort. Maybe you could just "cheer up" and if you could then good for you, but you cannot speak for every person with depression. Saying you understand the situation of someone who has depression more severe than yours perfectly is like saying to someone with a broken leg, "I sprained my ankle once, so I know for a fact that all you need to do is keep off it and it'll heal in no time."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Every psychological imbalance is caused by brain chemicals, so I don't know where you're going with that statement. And depressed individuals are unable to think positive... Until they actually do. It's really no different than when you're sleepy in the morning but need to get up at 5 am for work. You're unable to wake up until you actually wake up. Therapy falls in this category, it's essentially making a person realize the importance of mind over matter and nothing more. Medicine such as anti-depressants like carbamazepine doxepin, pirlindole and so fort are nothing bot hoaxes that distort your brain into then believing that it helps while in fact it causes more chemical imbalances... All it does is mask the problem, which is counter productive.
Also, your broken leg analogy makes no sense. Sprained ankle is not synonymous with broken leg. You assume I had some minor setback and now I'm "schooling" everyone with depression on what to do. You can't really go down that route.
I was clinically depressed for over 17 years, I'm a little late on this one but nevertheless; prominent fact is, depression is still mind over matter. Although I'm don't have the will to smile, I'm not forced to not smile. Although I don't have the will to go out and be happy but just act happy, I'm not forced to do anything that will make myself depressed. All it is, is the chemical imbalance that is making a subject going through hardship at this time, but you must understand that your mind is the one that controls your body and not the other way around.
You can go out and enjoy life, even if you're sad because you have the capability of going out. Again, you can't think positive... Until you actually do. Mind over matter.

Are you really saying that medicine doesn't work? Really?
Maybe I didn't explain well. Depression, or at least the kind I have, is caused by the fact that a part of my brain responsible for causing pleasure doesn't work. Without the help of medicine, it is physically incapable of releasing enough positive chemicals FOR me to be happy.
Also when I said therapy, I thought you would recognize that a) talk therapy is usually used in conjunction with medicine and b) therapy does not just mean talking about your problems, there are other treatments referred to as therapy.

I have to ask, though it's pretty obvious but since you make such strong implications or at least, for lack of the better term have no idea what you're talking about, have you read my comment?
Because if you have, you certainly didn't understand it... At all.

"Therapy falls in this category, it's essentially making a person realize the importance of mind over matter and nothing more." = Not all therapy is what you seem to think it is.
"Medicine such as anti-depressants like carbamazepine doxepin, pirlindole and so fort are nothing bot hoaxes that distort your brain into then believing that it helps while in fact it causes more chemical imbalances... All it does is mask the problem, which is counter productive. " = You are stating that medicine doesn't work, which I know for a fact isn't true.
You also don't seem to be able to tell me why I'm wrong, you're just telling me that I am with no proof at all.

What DO you think what I think therapy is?
Therapy - The treatment of disease or disorders, as by some remedial, rehabilitative, or curative process i.e. Speech therapy.
In accordance with the definition and personal experience. I can safely say that yes, I know therapy.
And telling you why you're wrong is equivalent of saying to someone that the light is turned on after he/she turned it on.
But nevertheless, I am stating that medicine MASKS THE PROBLEM.
This is what I'm talking about, you even quoted me yet you manage to misunderstand.

If you have to announce it all the time, yeah, it's a hollow excuse. I'm ADD, and you know what? Nobody lowered the standards for me. I got treatment...a little stimulant goes a long way. And you know what? It works. I have a disorder. I got treatment.

I have aspergers and I don't use it as an excuse. Sometimes people think I use it as an excuse because I won't do a certain assignment for school because I'm mentally not capable and I don't understand but it's not my fault I'm not capable at doing certain things. It's not like I don't try, I do try very hard and sometimes I can't do it and I don't make a big deal out of it, if someone asks I explain and most of the time I try not to bring it up because I don't want people to think I'm using it as an excuse, I'm not looking for pity or for people too feel bad for me, although my disorder can be challenging, I try and work through it and use it to my advantage.

Hahaha, I got a very minor case of ADD, but it's not like it dominates my life or determines my actions. My actions are my own and I'm solely responsible for them, so I fully agree with this. Nowadays I see too many people using their disorders as an excuse to get away with a ton of things, and the sad thing is, they know what their doing, but are too selfish or spoiled from their special treatment to think about how it affect everyone else. I can understand the small number of people who tell others about their problem in order to warn them of the occasions they might do something or say something strange or hurtful, but at least they don't pull it out every time they do something in order to get pardoned for every irrational outburst. It's especially annoying when people use disorders as an excuse to be lazy or irresponsible, whining that something is too difficult or confusing for them to do when they're not trying at all. I mean, even with the vast majority of 'emotional' disorders out there, it makes no sense that children would use that as a means of not going to school or learning the most basic things in order to make it through everyday life. Then there's the people who try their best to learn, and yet they end up having to dumb-down the things they say or do for the people who refused to take the initiative to learn all because of a disorder that had nothing to do with learning or thought capacity.
Ugh... disorders may indeed be a bad thing for some depending on what kind and the severity, but not when people take advantage of them. It really burns me up thinking about it as you can see. XD

Tell me about it! Placing them into certain groups, which of course, requires exposing them to people with disabilities outside of the autism spectrum can help them be taught how to behave humanely, and hopefully they'll remember what they learned when they don't need those groups anymore (if it's possible) and I'm one of those people! In other words, support groups made specifically for the disabled can prevent them from using specific diagnoses as excuses for jerkassery!!
