Experts are wrong sometimes, but getting a professional diagnosis is better than just guessing.
Oh - dear - Lord! "Guessing"!?!?!? No, my assessments are based upon E-V-I-D-E-N-C-E! I'm not the kind to just imagine things, and then say to myself one morning, "Hey, I think I'll have Asperger's Syndrome today, because it is, like, you know, totally trendy".
ASD's are similar to some other neurological disorders, and it takes a trained expert to find the difference. Self-diagnosis is not scientific...
"Not scientific". What do you even mean by that expression? I'm curious about it, because I don't believe that even you yourself know what that means, within this specific context.
...and you'll be hard-pressed to find a psychiatrist who would say otherwise.
Yes, the very same psychiatrists who decided, in their infinite wisdom, that Asperger's Syndrome doesn't exist anymore, and that I am now autistic. No, I'm not autistic, there is a difference.
What do you even mean by this? What do you mean we're the best in the world? The best in the world at what? In any instance, this is exceptionalitism at its worst, saying that one neurotype is "Better" than another.
What do I mean? I mean that I have come to realise that I am FAR more rational than most people I encounter, that I can think clearly, objectively, and will actually make an effort to determine what is actually TRUE and believe that, rather than just seeking out whatever it is that happens to make me FEEL better about both myself and the world, and believe THAT instead (which is what N.T.'s tend to do). How can you not understand this?
As for being exceptional, yes, I am. What's wrong in admitting that? Why do I need to be self-effacing and (falsely) modest? What purpose would that serve? If I achieved something worth crowing about, why shouldn't I take the credit for it?
Because at the end of the day, you're still guessing. Guessing isn't scientific.
No, I am NOT! "Guessing"!? By God man, don't be... well, I was going to say something extremely rude here, but if I do the comment will be erased, so I won't. My anger and frustration with you is starting to boil over, so maybe I had better not say anymore.
"GUESSING"! The bloody NERVE! As though first-hand, personal lifetime experience counts for nothing, only "science" (whatever that is).
