>mfw mom bought me 2 books titled "Asperger Syndrome & Alcohol" and Asperger Syndrome and Employment
>apparently she refuses to acknowledge that I'm simply a drunk unemployed loser and thinks it's because I have some fake syndrome
how many of you snowflakes claim to have this "syndrome" because you're not man enough to admit that you've fucked up your life by making poor decisions and instead blame everything on "muh anxiety"....man up and stop acting like a 15 year old girl
Its not a fake syndrome, dude. If you got proper treatment you might not be unemployed or think you're a loser. There's nothing wrong with having mental health problems, you just need to get help. Everybody needs it once and a while!

>t. OP's mom
Yes and no.
Some (many) people are truly and genuinely fucked over by life, this includes syndromes, but also all sorts of other circumstances that you are not in control of. People, being hypocritical assholes that they are, will blame all of it on you.
However you shouldn't think that it's all about getting your "syndrome" fixed or that you can hide your ego behind it, do nothing with your life and expect sympathy. Having anxiety or some other shit does not excuse you for shirking personal growth.

I have slight autism but I'm not so autistic I can't realize I'm the sole responsibility for most facets of my life. If I wanted better, I should've done better.

I'm not his mom, but I sure hope he gets that kind of encouragement from his family in general! This website misinforms a lot of people with regards to mental illness and I hope at least saying its okay to need help will do something for somebody somewhere!
Are you sure you're not a sperg? Read up on the symptoms of aspergers and compare them to your life experiences.
You don't have to use it as an excuse to stop trying, I see it as gaining a deeper understanding of how you function so you can use the knowledge to your advantage.
I was pretty unaware of just how different I was until I started paying extra attention to my behaviors and how other people behave normally.
