Was it autism?

If you have to ask, the answer is probably yes.

Mostly loneliness. Yes she has friends but it's not the same. You know how it is.

I'm really quite shocked that /a/ isn't able to recognise social anxiety disorder

>>135651678
SAD = Autism according to armchair psychologists of 4chan

>>135650034
I feel like the word autism has become pretty meaningless. It has turned into a sort of blanket term for any kind of social deficiency.

It used to refer to a specific disorder, but now any kind of social anxiety or awkwardness is immediately labelled "autism".

>>135651730
According to the newest DSM aspergers is no longer a thing. It's just been reclassified as part of the autism spectrum.

That aside, no I don't think Tomoko has it. I think she has a combimation of social anxiety disorder and avoidant personality disorder.

>>135652038
I thought aspergers was always on the autism spectrum.

>>135652061

Yeah sorta, but now aspergers itself is just plain gone. It's just autism now

>>135650034
maybe not autism, but her lack of ability to communicate effectively is the main source of her problems

>>135651830
I'm just really surprised that not more people here can relate

>>135652165
It's a textbook anxiety disorder. Seriously how does nobody here know what anxiety is

>>135652256
Too anxious to read up about it.

>>135652256
The people who can relate do exist, they just don't post about it OR obviously are done with the series since it hits too close to home.

>>135652324
I think you might actually be right

>>135650034
Probably some type of autism spectrum disorder, potentially comorbid with social anxiety or some other similar anxiety disorder.

>>135650034
I don't care what it is, I just want to fuck her.

>>135650034

>>135652359
People seem to either love the series or can't stand the awkwardness. I assumed that the ones who liked it are the ones who empathise with Tomoko such as myself, whereas the ones who can't stand it are the ones who can't empathise and/or don't understand her.

I guess to understand her you need to understand some things about yourself first

>>135652685
All you had to do was follow the train CJ

>>135650034
Just because someone is on the autism spectrum does not equal autism.

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/borderline-personality-disorder/index.shtml

She does not show near enough of the positive or negative signs for it to be autism.

Pretty sure if you stretch it everyone is on the autism scale somehow. Just say she got social problems and move on.

She's just a loser.

>>135653111
Exactly Anon, everyone is in some way related to the autism spectrum. It's impossible to be raised in such way to not fall into one portion of it if you add in enough variables.

>>135653111
>>135653159
>If you stretch it
No, literally everyone is on the spectrum, it's just there's a point on the spectrum that's considered "nomal" and past a certain point it's considered a disorder.

Take the test. ~16 is normal, ~20 is nerd, past 26 is a disorder and past 32 is full blown autism

Another fun autism fact: people higher on the spectrum are drawn to cartoons because the large eyes and exaggerated facial expressions are easier to interpret and therefore relate to. It's literally easier for them to understand and relate to 2d than 3d

This is also why so many autists obsess over stuff like sonic, mlp and of course anime

Same here. Going to the psychologist next week.
Maybe I don't need to work anymore.

>>135654794
No, oh fuck no.
The autists came in waves during 2007 and 2008.
Autismal cunts are failed normalfags and have been the main reason why 4chan went to being fun and creative to being completely barren of anything creative aside from the sparse posting from original anons, here and there. These autistic cretins are the reason why 4chan is associated with anger and politics instead of the quirky, edgy, funny and unpredictable discussion it used to thrive on.

The autists are the real problem because they are incapable of self awareness. Normalfags don't stick around for long enough to become a cancerous growth on boards. They lack the obsessive attachment to mindless repetition that keeps the autists here, forming generals and acting like angry manchildren. There are three main groups of people: the normalfags, who are intellectually lazy and spend more time using social media through their phones due to automated ease of entry; the manchildren/snowflakes/autists, whom plague internet forums, boards and imageboards, because they find their way in and aren't aware that the people already there want them to fuck off; and the final group which are the hobbyists/nerds/otaku, the people who took 4chan.net from a blank state to a small but thriving imageboard community.

Out of these groups the snowflake manchildren autists who have been raised in a social environment wherein screaming and carrying on and acting like a selfish cunt is actually rewarded with attention and outcome. The normalfags are, well, painfully pedestrian and make the norm of society. It isn't their active input that ruins things, it's their passive mass usage and supporting of shitty things that ruin things. Though in respect to 4chan, the things normies keep alive don't really impact the site as a whole. The only real association they have with 4chan is teenagers on /b/ that stay there for the porn and gore.

Spergs need to remember their place as cancerous shit worse than normalfags.

>>135655166
Because sonicfags are on a whole different level of autism.

Guys quick question: Did autism exist before the idea was invented?

>>135655063
its gonna be abbreviating autism to autsy and schizo to schizy

>>135655217
No; the creation of the DSM quite literally had a genetic impact on humanity with the inertia of thousands of generations of progeny.

>>135655217
Yes but simple children used to be drowned for communing with spirits.

>>135655011
>taking what he says seriously
The reason why many autistic people like cartoons is because of the colors and often eccentric behavior of the characters.

Let's be real, if you lacked the ability to understand adult problems due to a mental disorder...
Would you rather watch Law and Order or a Cartoon where people do silly things and it has bright colors that constantly stimulate your eyes and mind?
He is partially correct, but for the wrong reasons.
Autistic people often find certain characters interesting no matter the medium and usually obsess about those characters.
This could range from Luke Skywalker to Tomo from the anime currently in discussion.
The obsessive behavior is a sign of autism.

>>135655063
I just hope whatever the next Top Insult is more generic with a broader range of applicability, but also an actual meaning

Cluck or Autist or Tumblr or Redditor are pretty mediocre. Autist isn't bad, but cluck is only relevant to certain board cultures and tumblr/redditor are just meaningless boogeymen phrases

>A few examples of autistic symptoms and treatments were described long before autism was named. The Table Talk of Martin Luther, compiled by his notetaker, Mathesius, contains the story of a 12-year-old boy who may have been severely autistic.[207] Luther reportedly thought the boy was a soulless mass of flesh possessed by the devil, and suggested that he be suffocated, although a later critic has cast doubt on the veracity of this report.

The old-fashioned treatment is strangling and exorcism.

Majority of mental disorders were generalized as impurity of the soul and not related to the physical or mental health of the victim.

While the autism spectrum is quite real, the disorders known as autism and its other sister disorders (among them aspergers) have a major flaw when it comes to there ability to be diagnosed.
>the lack of proper diagnosis.
All of these diseases/disorders/etc are nearly identical and lack very specific causes that would prove without a doubt you have said illness...
Much like ADHD, which can be caused from over active hormones, thyroid problems, neurological issues, or you being a spoiled fucking brat.
Autism can be "caused" by pretty much anything.

Opposed to narcolepsy, which is caused by damage to a neurological stem and in nearly all cases the damage can be found due to the fact the stem is damage in an area near the sleep control portion of our brain.

Schizophrenia falls into this same problem, there are hundreds of causes for schizophrenia and each cause has entirely different symptoms. Which is why it ranges from people who are just paranoid to people who literally see the dead (my uncle sees Elvis, not even joking).

Did you know that most males show more than 50% of the traits associated with sociopathic behavior?
Did you know that most humans show more than 25% of the traits associated with psychopathic behavior?

Psychology means zero in the science world usually. Just as much of it works in the metaphysical as it does in the portion that we can see.

Dude I know we use literal a little too much now days, but in this case I was being quite literal.
The internet is helping to mimic a lot of traits in human behavior that we usually associate with autism.

Even if you aren't autistic, you will more than likely show a lot of autism spectrum trains just by spending time on the internet.

>>135656417

On paper.
You'd need to see a real autistic to see there is difference.

The only thing the internet is doing is helping you build a stronger identity.

>>135656424
This. Too much internet leads to problems in social situations like failure to hold conversations and feelings of being in an awkward situation, these traits are becoming more and more common.

>>135650034
She's just enjoying a reclusive life.

>>135656469
>The only thing the internet is doing is helping you build a stronger identity.

Or lack thereof,
While other people are drawing their own manga (however shitty it may be) or writing their own anime script. You just watch it or read it.
Each board has a lot of people who do this, mimic their interest, but never push beyond general interest into creating and developing a personality.
They are letting their interest become their identity. /a/ is no different, we judge each other often unironically based off what we enjoy.
At the end of the day none of it matters and people who care are showing autism traits.

I'd love to continue the argument, but i'm getting tired, good night Anon.

This shit's in every fucking bullshit personality quiz ever invented and I, having no inclination toward one side or the other, never know how the fuck I'm supposed to answer it. What the hell is preventing anyone from being equally adept at both? Am I autistic? I guess I'll never fucking know.

The autism cliche is that they get hyper focused on little things i guess.

>"Scores in the 0 - 25 range indicate little or no Autistic traits."

I scored a 21. Odd, considering I have full-blown Asperger's (diagnosed by actual doctors when I was 10). That test was so poorly put-together, it's like someone skimmed through the most introductory information about the autism spectrum and decided to make a survey about it. This "autism = introvert" shit is just one angle on a complex picture that is unique for every person on the spectrum. Not to mention the lack of a neutral option in-between 'agree' and 'disagree' probably guarantees fucked up results too.

I've known a few autists who were extraverts to the point it was uncomfortable.

Your score was 34 out of a possible 50.

Thank God my father is used to look after mentally disabled people and autists. It's his job
