There's a lot of jokes about everyone having autism, but do you actually have a disability or some impairment?

How does it affect you playing games?

I have aspergers, only thing it affects for me is i have a obsession with numbers, so I normally end attempting to 100% games.

I have atrophied hands. Pretty much play SDFE. Pinky is useless. I can't outstretch my hands so keys are tied around sdfe, can't even bend my fingers to hit the keys under SDFE. Can't use a fighting stick anymore, it'll actually pull my forearm and it fucking hurts. My fingers will get sore just from hitting buttons and the nerves will fall asleep on my fingers if repetition is too much. This also applies to console joysticks pressing down on them.

Pretty much hurts to play vidya, but I can't do other things like bowling, baseball, and shit so...

Does this extend to other things in your life? Are you a slow learner, did you have issues with school or otherwise holding jobs?

Do you always play in "autopilot" without thinking about what you're doing?
Is your aim trash, and if so have you tried different sensitivities?
How many hours will you play a game until you give up on it?

I really don't think I would. Before High School, this wasn't a problem at all and I have always been in small group classes. I think I would have to drop out because i don't know the material as well as the advanced classes would expect me to.

The problem is, in those 'special needs' classes, there's usually only one teacher and maybe an assistant. But most of the time, the teacher is so preoccupied with trying to control all of the bad kids who are causing a disturbance that there's usually very little time for teaching or providing one-on-one help for the children who need it. Also, those classes always have 25-30 students and that's far too much to get a proper education, especially if you're very young.
>>
>>376216119
That's my favorite thing about "I hate people" people. As a former faggot, I still cringe that it took me until my fucking 20s to realize the problem was me not other people.

Every "misanthrope" I ever met was just a lonely loser deep down who was too proud to admit he wanted friends and too stupid to realize he's in the wrong.

I don't really like interacting with people. It's not that I can't. I can, and I'm actually pretty good at it. The problem is I always have to fake it and pretend I give a fuck about what other people have to say. No one really seems to catch on so I usually just keep up the facade. I love my family and they've always been good to me, but I never really feel the need to call them or go see how they're doing. I don't hang out with or see anyone unless I absolutely have to, and then it's usually a chore. There's other things too. I've looked it up online and every website seems to say that I'm a Sociopath, but I think that's bullshit.

Schizoid personality disorder. It was diagnosed when my government tried to take me for mandatory military service. Then I asked for help the doctor said "Just get a job. You will be better in future." No treatment or benefits, my country sucks.

I was diagnosed with Autism at a later age. I was the only kid picked on in my special ed school. I never want to have kids because I heard autism is genetic. I feel like human trash because of it. I feel like my parents had to put up with me because they felt they had to.

I am pretty average in video games, but I can't tell if autism has anything to do with it.

When you prefer games that are akin to playing with toys over games that have meaning beyond that, it's a good sign that you have autism, yes.

If it was just that you're creative or inquisitive you would be putting those skills to use for a career, not sitting around playing video games.

I have diagnosed aspergers which at this point in my life manifests primarily as an obsession with the learning process. I love acquiring new skills and seeing how my knowledge translates from one area to another, breaking down complex problems to simple ones to solve them with greater ease.

As a result I quickly become better than average at everything I try, and everyone I know finds it insufferable.

I grow bored easily however, and by extension don't usually stick with anything long enough to master it. In the end every game is a puzzle game to me, just a matter of identifying the pieces and fitting them together just right.

Funnily enough I usually hate actual puzzle games, I find it infuriating when it seems like a piece of the puzzle is just missing.

I've got aspergers, which literally doesn't affect my vidya playing at all, but it does mean I get money from the UK government so thanks for that.

I've also got moderate social anxiety, so I'm a bit shit on voice chat, especially with people I don't know.

And then there's the fucking dyspraxia. I literally cannot play a single FPS well to save my life. Especially online. I'm the guy on your team who's going 4 for 20 every game. I'm honestly sorry, I do try to get better, but it never works.

And this just shows how utterly clueless you idiots are. Because it's actually a left-wing propaganda that there is no such thing as mental disabilities and illnessess: the left has a major issue with medicalization of human mind and scientific or clinical approach to human nature. That is one of the reasons why more and more medial disabilities and mental disorders are being crossed out of psychiatric disorder lists and why the general influence of clinical psychology and psychiatry is decreasing.

You can't get autism. You are either born autistic, or you aren't. It's a neurological developmentary disorder, it's caused by your brain developing wrong in very early stages of development, most of it happens in prenatal stages.

Not all of it, but there are some major issues within it, especially in America. Misdiagnosis of Autistic spectrum, which replaced the same issue with misdiagnosis of ADHD being the most blatant example of mental health industry in the US going completely astray.
That does not mean the whole industry is wrong. It's more of a local issue within the US and related to a few very particular (if wide-spread) problems.

The brain is an incredibly complex organ, to believe that nobody ever has anything go wrong with their brain's development is just absurd.
But mental illness isn't an excuse for abhorrent behavior, only an explanation.
Everything has a cause. That cause being "their brain is fucked and they don't know any better" doesn't mean mentally healthy people should be okay with what that person is doing and allow them to keep doing it.

I had a psych evaluation when I applied to join the army, and they told me I show strong signs of schizophrenia, a psychopathic lack of empathy, low social intelligence, and signs of depression. Which was obviously all bullshit, since I'm still here and good as ever.

It has zero effect on my vidya ability or the way I play online. Sure, I lie, cheat, scam and manipulate others at every given possibility, as well as talk shit virtually non-stop. Seeing as how that's pretty much normal human behavior online, I don't see a problem.

>>376240661
I'm not ignoring anything, I'm just saying that people speaking their minds and doing what comes naturally is hardly a problem. Rather, it's when others tell you that you can't do something just because they told you so when it becomes an actual problem, though nobody seems to think that way.

...No, you typically just see it often and then presume that moral degeneracy. is average and your blindness to this is because you're narrow-minded and can't fill in the blanks.

There automatically won't be some sort of consequence of you actions. Doesn't mean it won't happen.
Imagine planting a killer poison in a random drink at the bar no one's around. If you leave, then do you see its possible consequences? No. You don't care, though. And you're kind of weird, so you like to justify your actions with the bandwagon meme instead.

Imagine an ideology that you hate (i.e., social justice). If it was common, would you call it "normal" and proceed to adopt it? That is what people call being a sell-out.

>do you go to your doctor and ask for a test?
You can do a free on-line test, there are hundreds of those out there, but your best choice is to find a psy-eval center and have a professional with certified scales to do it for you, if you really care. While you are at it, it's generally a REALLY good idea to ask what scale they are using, because there are actually multiple different scales which will give different numerical value for the same people - this is also another idea why taking an on-line test is bad idea, beside the test being possibly uncertified and thus potentially misleading, they also often don't even tell you which scale you are being measured on.

Most larger cities have a MENSA institute, and those do IQ tests usually for free.

That said: IQ tests are largely bollocks, and I can guarantee to you, 90% of people boasting their IQ online are just flat-out lying. For some reason, this thing just tends to bring out the absolute worst in people.
>>
>>376241487
Just play games that focus on gameplay rather than story, or ones that are designed to be possible to play in small doses like separate stages/levels/etc. Or better yet, find games that do both of those things. Something like Hotline Miami is a great example of this.

Something like that yeah. He used to take certain drugs that hyped him up then brought him to a crushing low where he doesn't want to interact with anyone

Yet people are usually wiser than to brag about their dicks size than their IQ size. Seriously, the sheer amount of bullshit I see whenever IQ is being brought up is really baffling, especially since I have a basic understanding of how the tests work, what exactly (and how) they measure and what are the distribution tables. I've never seen discussions about dick-sizes go as awry as IQ discussions.

Outside the fact that Asperger has been crossed out of the diagnostic manuals (seriously people don't have Asperger. That diagnosis does not exist, people are no longer diagnosed with that shit, it's NONSENSE that anyone past year 2011 is "diagnosed with Asperger"), those symptoms don't remotely sound like any kind of development disorder.

How did he "discovered this affliction"? I hope to GOD it was not by a doctor. So I guess... self diagnosis?

I have no idea if there's any actual mental illness causing it, but I'm extremely obsessive about everything I watch/play/listen to that I consider good. Generally I can't play a game unless I'm in just the right mood for that specific game and there's nothing distracting me outside of the game. If it's an even remotely dark/horror-esque game, I can't play it until night time and there are absolutely no signs of other people being around, like neighbors talking or whatever. With any other game, I generally get used to playing it during a certain time of day and it starts to feel wrong to play it at any other time. If I ever go against any of these things and try to play a game I like in different circumstances it feels like I'm completely ruining the game for myself and I can't keep playing.

I'm not that autistic in the sense that I can't empathize or read people, but unless I've had 3 beers I cannot be around people for more than a minute (sometimes seconds) before pretty much shutting down completely.

Since this makes people incredibly uncomfortable (including me) I just avoid social interaction as much as I can, even extending to ridiculous shit like timing my exit from the office so I won't leave at the same time as someone else, and if it does happen pretend to check one last thing on my computer until the other person has left.

That has literally nothing to do with being a sociopath or APD, that's just being edgy and finding "le so offensive xDD" shit funny. APD involves being superficially charming and manipulative, lacking the ability to feel any shame or remorse whatsoever (not just being desensitized and edgy, literally lacking the ability to experience it) and being a compulsive liar, even when there's not necessarily a need to lie.

Anti-psychotics further suggest that his condition has absolutely nothing to do with development disorders (that is the autistic spectrum, which includes people formerly diagnosed with Asperger).

They suggest that he suffers psychotic states. Which are more aligned with what you described.
And yeah, anti-psychotics are a messy drugs. They are not designed to "cure" people, in fact not even to make them feel better: they are designed and prescribed to prevent them from doing something bad or dangerous to themselves or their surroundings. As far as I'm concerned, they probably should not be prescribed to people that are not threatening themselves or others.

I'm not exactly certified, but what you described really sounds most like emotional lability, which is a symptom of bipolar, borderline or histrionic disorders. If its mild, it is usually managed with mood stabilizers. I have heard sometimes, in more extreme cases some atypical anti-psychotics have been used as mood stabilizers, though as far as I know, it's generally a frowned upon practice and usually used only in cases where other treatment fails.

A lot can be done through non-medical treatment. Therapy and consultations can help, especially with borderline disorder. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a rather "brutforce" but efficient treatment for most conditions like this one. Or at least helps managing them.

There are a lot of arguments on the differences between psychopaths and sociopaths that you can find articles upon articles on, but no matter what way you look at it, they're pretty much exactly the same.
>>
>>376246014
Actually, there is a major difference. Psychopaths tend to suffer psychotic episodes, which include episodes of completely impaired perception.

Sociopaths don't suffer psychotic episodes, they don't suffer perceptual changes or states of changed consciousness, they simply simply fail to "properly" recognize and internalize their relationship to the surrounding society.

So one is defining by the fact that the people literally experience world differently than healthy people, the others experience it similarly, but fail to establish the same value and priority systems as healthy people. It's a major difference, really.

I have severe clinical depression and high functioning autism.

I love games, literally the only joy I have found in life. I've travelled and lived in multiple countries by myself as well as been engaged. Nothing gives me as much fulfillment as playing vidya.

I literally play anything that is not indie shit "such retro, wow"

Got a core group of RL friends who I game with 4 nights of the week and I literally buy every new release.

On my second playthrough of Persona 5 at the moment.

>>376246014
I'm pretty certain sociopaths are mostly just people lacking in empathy and morals while psychopaths are completely devoid of empathy and unable to comprehend morals

Similar, but a distinct difference
>>
>>376211276
That is a very stupid thing to say.
>>
>>376246873
I'm afraid that really isn't it. The difference is really in that psychopaths suffer altered stages of consciousness: delusions, psychosis and psychotic rages, things that we believe at least in some way impair or alter their judgement and perception of reality.

Sociopaths don't suffer major delusions or psychotic episodes. They just lack empathy and abilities that exist to align normal human behavior with the interests of the social group. Psychopaths can actually be empathic, but their perceptual deviations result in situation where that empathy does not regulate their behavior in the way we need them to act, cause them to erratic and dangerous.
Sociopaths are simply lacking empathy and any innate pro-social intuitions.

>>376248857
I think I'll never understand this logic. My condition is different, I suffer clinical depression and chronic anxieties and have either evasive or narcissitic personality disorder, but I can't fucking imagine living with it and not actually being fairly open about it. It's just another layer of further shit that I don't need in my life. I don't give a fuck if some people look at me with pity or mistrust or something like that: I just need to focus on solving practical problems, and trying to hide shit from others is just going to add to the pile of potential snakes. Honesty just solves a lot of problems.
>>
>>376249224
I've kind of wondered if it could be something like that, but it's hard to know when you don't have a psychiatrist or anything. I also severely limit myself on how often and in what situations I can listen to music that I really like, and have a strict rule that I can only listen to my "favorite" song once a year to avoid making it stale and ruining it. It's really fucking obnoxious and there are countless games that I still haven't finished/started because of it, but I guess considering how bad and crippling OCD can be, I'd be a pretty lucky case if it did turn out that I actually have it.
