Aspergers Reality Hidden

[Aet1985]

I have been very worried on how I have been feeling, is Aspergers actually an illness, or neurologically and body systems we are sensitive? I ask because at times I don't feel ''equipped'' for the ''NT Reality''. I can get anxiety attacks randomly, feel fatigued, confused, and or not on the same page as NT's Men. I can't ''push myself'' for very long periods, such as years ago I worked at Burger King, and between the pace and management screaming, I was getting IBS. I am trying to get my life together, talking with a woman at the moment, and see what happens. I don't know if we age quicker, at 39 I feel a lot older, from years of stress, anxiety and OCD.

I get tired quickly but usually due to too much peopling (over social stimulation) and then I edge towards a shutdown so I hsve to balance it but I only feel physically unwell in shut down phases it makes me feel sick

For me, the easiest way of understanding it is to understand that the "mind" is the result of complicated interactions between body parts (primarily parts of the central nervous system).

Complicated interactions can interact in a whole variety of ways, depending on the initial conditions.

In people who are autistic, the initial conditions (brain formation and brain chemistry) differ from average enough in predictable ways that they form a definable cluster that can be fit into a box labeled "autistic."

It is a disorder yes. Those with milder autism might be able to mask and function well. But it is still a disorder which at its worse could render one nonverbal and unable to ever live without 24/7 support. So it's a bit perplexing sometimes when people claim that it's a superpower. I've read some perplexing theories that claim autistic people are superhuman and even the next stage of human evolution. They'd probably not say that if they were Level 3
