Wade Haden No no. That's different. I know what that feels like. I have been tested since replying here and now I know what it was. It's called "impaired processing speed". Even though my IQ is high or high end of average depending on the test, I process info slowly. To an impaired rate. At the time of responding here, I didn't know what it was and thought everyone who has Autism has it. That's not the case. I also have mind blindness and a working memory impairment. These things are all just part of how the pervasive developmental part of my Autism case manifested for me. Wanted to just leave that in here in case anyone else goes through this.

I can't understand them because I don't have time to register it and my working memory impairment prevents me from going back to it in my mind and working it out. I have had a lot of help on this since I made this comment, which I am grateful for.

The NT says one thing but means another. The NT then gets angry, sometimes to the point of abuse, because the ND couldn't read their mind. The ND then becomes paranoid, fearful, and withdrawn because of this terrifying, seemingly unpredictable behavior coming from the NT. But it gets worse. If the NT knows that the ND is ND or has a diagnosis, the NT will use the diagnosis against the ND. The NT will engage in actual gaslighting, then turn around and tell the ND that "it's because of your asperger's." When in reality, the ND really knows that the NT is being unreasonable, and engaging in abusive behaviors, but blames their poor behavior on the ND's diagnosis.

I don't really understand why we keep talking only about the mindblindness of autistic people. Clearly neurotypicals are just as blind to autistic minds as we are to theirs. Why else would we feel so utterly misunderstood all the time? NTs are good at reading/guessing/understanding the minds of people with the same neurology as them - which is maybe 95% of all people. So they get it "right" quite often. Autistic people are equally good at reading/guessing/understanding the minds of people with THEIR neurology but since it is much more rare to meet a fellow autistic/neurodivergent person we autistic people will be getting it "wrong" a lot more often. Can someone please explain to me how this can lead to the conclusion that autistic people are any more (or less) mindblind the NT's? Isn't it just a question of being the majority vs. the minority?

Truth! And let’s talk about who has the empathy deficit! I was ostracized, bullied, put down constantly for my natural traits until I learned to mask the sufficiently. Even teachers and other adults would say incredibly mean things about me for things I had no control over. Being undiagnosed, I look back and realize I had a cycle of great life, meltdowns, shutdowns, and burnout. Unmasking and self care is hard because there is still such a negative view of autism. Like “maybe you have autism, but sometimes I think you’re using it as an excuse to avoid responsibility.”

I think the opposite is true. I’m totally misunderstood when I say things to people and they take it negatively and then I’m left wondering what did I do or say for them to get so upset?! Therefore I run around wondering when am I going to say or do something to make someone put me down or hate me next? So then I spend days and weeks after every conversation with someone trying my best to decipher what happened and what was going on and what everything meant to try to figure out why they made this or that facial expression and why they said this or that. For some reason my words and actions are assumed negative (even when I state what I view as a compliment) by the NT and they attack me for it and I have no idea why because they never say why, they just act rude for no reason in my opinion.

I personally think NTs are nuts 🤣 Because theyr'e so vague, their communication is based on unspoken rules. We're from another planet. Luckily I hope I am not paranoid as I am able to intuitively pick on peoples micro expressions (If i can focus on them without overwhelm). Thank you for hyper focused special interests such as psychology and body language! Anaylsing people burns out my cpu. I usually give them the benefit of the doubt unless I see a pattern of red flags of their behaviour...to other people. Aka those with NPD or what not. Nts are difficult to anaysle because they are so...neutral and yet vague a lot of the time. I hope that makes sense and i havent offended anyone in being frank. I say it in jest. Obviously we're from another planet 🤣

my mom is ASD and she is *super* paranoid. At my last job I had a view of one of the DC monuments from my office, and on the day I got my office I called my mom excitedly to tell her about my great office. Her response? A gasp, followed by a very serious, "Is that safe!?" As if I was going to get killed by sheer fact of working that close to tourist attractions visited by millions of people. Our block was crawling with secret service and she was still convinced my life was in danger.

Once upon a time, working in the bank vault, there was a scheduled delivery that was canceled that day. Tony, my coworker wrote this down on the manifest. Afterward, he would ask me, "Did you see it? Did you see it?" I replied, "No. How am I supposed to see a bag that is not supposed to come?" I thought of how stupid a question, and I laughed all the way home. In fact this was the first thought I had in the middle of the night when I woke up, and laughed. And was the first thought I had upon waking up the next morning, and laughed. To this day when the thought pops in my head, all I can do is laugh about it. Then one day, it occurred to me that he meant if I've seen what he wrote down. And I still laugh when I think about it.

Chris Musser I feel for you Chris. Makes me think I might be doing the same to people in my life at times. Thank you for sharing. It's hard to get to know yourself better. And it's pretty hard to see you've been treating people in a mean way with no reason. Especially because we auti's (or at east I) don't have the intention of hurting people. We just have a defense mechanism that fires at the wrong time. There are forms of therapy that focus on this misfiring of defense mechanisms. But it's a Dutch book and Dutch method. I''m not sure if there is a British or American equivalent. If you would like to know if there is one, let me know. I'll try and find something like it.

Joey Hartman it's hard I know Joey but you're not an idiot. Sometimes it is better not to ask in certain scenarios or with certain people or even wait til it's an appropriate time later if you really get stuck . Try to take the individual and timing into account. Ie if someone is in a rush asking them to break down a detailed explanation might not be the best idea :p I have found for me personally I can worry myself too much by unnecessary asking when if I stop and think about it I can figure it out . It helps to have a calm mind but I know it's never easy. Stay positive x

I'd like to propose an experiment. I'll need 100 people with medium to high functioning AS, to join me in setting up a town issolated from neuro-typical people. My theory is that, removing the 'normal' people from our daily interaction, we might actually have an enjoyable society. Either that or we'll get fed up of each other very quickly and the place will become a 'ghost town'.

Sounds like a very interesting idea to try. I'm not so sure it would turn out very positively. I'm only basing that from my experience of growing up in a family where everyone else has AS. My most severely affected brother would get very aggressive with the middle brother. My parents didn't understand how their communication issues were confusing and often upsetting all of us and my Dad's need for rigidity could often turn into aggression. We have done pretty well considering the circumstances only because of the assistance of outsider, neurotypical professionals but it's not been the nicest household.

Sorcha O'Reilly​ I completed understand. Me, my brother, n father have aspergers. Mother is normal. Unfortunately, my father feels that he has to call us names all the time, pick on us for tics and social aquardness, failures..he acts superior to me n my brother, belittles us any and every way he can. Basically he has no filter, he says the meanest, most evil things you can imagine just to try n hurt us, make us 'feel' bad.. Luckily I have no feelings or emotions, but still there's something deep inside that hurts from it. Idk if it'd be considered an emotion, as much as an understanding that he's right, I am worthless, I do have a condition that's outta my control, even tho I'd give anything to be normal.. As much of an asshole he is, he's right. I'm not normal, wont be no matter how hard i try to fit into society, i can't fully take care of myself becuz of condition, n don't deserve to even be alive considering I'm a genetic mistake.. I can't feel what he's saying, but I can understand that he's right..even if he is an ass for saying it.. I'd like to tell ya it get easier being around family like that, but it doesn't.. Just a lot worse.. :( every fuckin day..

Its amazing how confronting a problem like that head on in a calm environment can resolve the matter. please not, its advise to confront the issue when the subject is in a calm state. aim for around the evening after they have had a productive day.

I seem to have the exact opposite problem, other people, who apparently DON'T have autism, are blinded by the non-verbal cues of others. I seem to be hypersensitive to these cues, sometimes to the point of overload. The "Neurotypical" people who I have observed and interacted with throughout my life have repeatedly proven that they can operate within socially accepted norms by being as pig-headed and neglectful of other people's feelings as they so choose. The real anomalies in our society are the people who take the time to empathize, be supportive, and considerate of other's feelings. The "normal people" I have met are petty, self-righteous, and uncaring. I tried to copy their behavior in an attempt to "blend in," and what I have found is that most people must simply be unaware of how they affect each other. When I became as they are, I was met with shock and disapproval, simply by being a mirror.

Yes! I am confident that empathy (feeling others' feelings) is an unusual quality in Homo sapiens. Since NT behavior involves signaling sympathy (usually just pretending to care about others' feelings or thinking of your own feelings in a similar circumstance) which ASD folks don't do believably, we are separated into those who feel empathy and those who don't much more easily than NTs. Why the professionals deny or can't see this and perpetuate the "empathy is normal" lie is beyond me. It must have something to do with their need for others to see them as "good people" and the changes that would have to be made to the definitions/interpretations of narcissism and psychopathy.

Agreed lack of empathy is the norm. Another norm is the pretending to be interested in someone's problems when really you can easily tell they don't give a shit. It's kind of understandable especially if you're not in a close relationship with someone, people tend to not trust strangers, so seeing them be genuinely concerned for you freaks them out.

Aspergers people often pick up on underlying power plays that are so integrated and accepted in our society that NT aren't even aware of the subtleties of what they are doing. They are re-playing behaviour that they have been taught by the society. The mistake made currently is 'teaching' Aspergians to go along with these power plays by teaching 'social skills' ie lying.. We're meant to be teaching the NT's to be more Authentic. Any paranoia may be PTSD & Social Anxiety..

Omg so true!! That explains why most people's verbal conversation never properly matches up with the non-verbal conversation (body language etc) and makes it so confusing to judge intention (are you meant to go by the words or the non-verbal cues?). Maybe Aspergers people just over analyze and think about things our human brains weren't really designed to think about, when we are supposed to just "monkey see, monkey do" as our species evolved to? :/ Almost like we're looking at the source code instead of the user interface?

Yes, thank you. I can't begin to say how frustrating it is to be talking to people, especially in text, and have them suggest I was saying something I did not say. It's text, it's very difficult for it to be ambiguous. The words used were used because they meant what they meant, if I'd meant something else, that is what I would have said. It's less frustrating in face to face contact, because that's always hit or miss anyway, but with the written word, it is black and white and extremely concrete, thus really difficult to understand WHY someone would ascribe extra meaning or 'unspoken thoughts/words/messages' to what I say. :(

Generally at first I often misinterpret people in the other direction (assuming they're being supportive when in fact they aren't). I've found that one of the problems with many neurotypical people is passive-aggressiveness. This sends a mixed message and so trying to clarify things with those type people can be totally circuitous with no resolution in sight! They WANT to be obscure because they have this underlying anger or oppositionalness yet don't want to admit it and so faced with that muddled communication pattern it's difficult for an Aspie to know what to say or how to take them. I've sometimes had to ask them for clarification 6 times and still not gotten a straight answer. It's like trying to hold onto a jellyfish that keeps slipping through your fingers. Only then do I start to become suspicious of their real intentions because it comes across as though they have something to hide.

No, it's a bias towards negative interpretation due to mind blindness and inability to mind read. Most Aspies miss a lot of the subtle non-verbals, and are hypersensitive to PERCEIVED criticism. Conditioning through childhood or life of being misunderstood or bullied, has made the person with ASD automatically assume it's an attack of criticism when it is NOT. Mind blindness is the ASD's inability to see things from the other person's perspective in the moment. There is too much happening and to process in the moment, not enough time to consider less negative explanations for what the other person has said. Motives are assumed as bad (a type of paranoia but understandable given the amount of negative feedback the person with ASD has been exposed to in their lifetime). Since there's a lower processing speed, the mindblindness (inability to put self in other's shoes), lower skills reading facial expression, tone, subtle language cues, all combined with not enough time.... the individual with ASD jumps to negative conclusions and reacts defensivenly, with excess hostility or verbal attack. Mark is extremely well versed in ASD L1, and knows what he's talking about. This video is to help people. Watching it a few times and making notes could help because what he is describing here, and what I have just outlined are the exact issues. Mark talked through things fairly rapidly, so worth watching and pausing if needed. Incidentally ASD is not the only condition which can effect people this way. People with Borderline Personality Disorder for example can also mis-read and misinterpret neutral facial expressions as negative for example and respond with aggression or overreaction. Other personally Disorder too involve a lot of misinterpreting. NTs can too have negative bias, negative filter and jump to conclusions that they are being criticised. However this video explanation the reasons it happens with ASD... mind blindness.

Neurotypicals (like this fellow) assumes that everyone uses the same cultural shorthand that their mirror cells have taught them. We don't. People from other cultures don't. Since the mirror cells take direct subconscious control of their communication, they consciously don't know why they say what they say. If we try to have communication with them, we will talk in paragraphs. They will hear a couple of phrases and assume they know what we are trying to get across and their minds close - even if they don't know.

There's something being overlooked here. What about when NT's misinterpret someone with Aspergers? There's a thing where an aspie may imitate behaviour to try and fit into a social circle or group, because being quiet and keeping to ones self hasn't worked (they don't even bother to find out who you are which, is why it then seems necessary to approach others) in my experience, it usually leads to being disliked and ostracised. And then you're left feeling like an even bigger failure because you have no resources at this point and frustrated because you don't understand why the rules are different for you but not them. You're damned if you or if you don't it seems, cause even if you don't try, people are always judging you from a distance, and quite often harshly. There's an obvious glass ceiling when it comes to Aspergers and NT's, no it's not fair but it just seems to be the way of things. Imo There are most times when the "paranoia" is warranted.

NTs ARE learning- at least the new definition of ASD allows for overstim via cues. (we get upset because we experience too many cues and are not given the time to sort through them) However, they are also classifying us all as paranoid because it's so very easy to forget that our minds are fundamentally different from theirs- and when we are forced to live their way, we get mistreated. Recognizing this is not paranoia, but it sure as hell can cause it given enough time passing and no help for the trauma. I've been misdiagnosed paranoid twice now, but I do not have delusion, nor do I feel I am more important than others. AND I most certainly do not think anyone is 'out to get me.' but there have been people who disliked me and acted accordingly. I HAVE been bullied. I HAVE been yelled at so fiercely it was so terrifying and overwhelming sensory-wise I felt the person was going to kill me. How do I know it isn't in my head? Because that person, my father, yells at me AND my mother. Has done for 34 years. When we are all in the smae room. He basically fits EVERY SINGLE criteria of the domestic abuse checklist, except he doesn't physically abuse us. I can't work. we can't leave. SSI is a sick joke. Have I ever been believed by an NT doctor? I don't feel I have been yet. They did not give ME the proper cues 'I' could recognize as belief. But they sure cna call me paranoid instead of help me wiht the ONGOING trauma they claim doesn't exist. See the parallel? But they don't talk about that. It's always one way. Their way. Well they're wrong. Sadly, we are still in teh dark ages of ASD in terms of societal acceptance. it sucks. I'm paranoid because I use a pronoun that defines a group of people? really? Lots of other people use THEY to describe specific groups of people in an informal way. Good. Grief.

Before that I'd only been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder so this came as a huge shock. I went through a bit of denial but the more research I done the more it made perfect sense. I was then put in touch with the Asperger Service Norfolk, which is as far as I've got. I think there's a fair bit of support so the future is quite exciting now I know what's wrong with me. Thanks

Sorry for being pedantic but I have to point out that AS isn't a mental illness though many people with the condition do also suffer from one or more psychological issues due to a lack of self understanding which often leads to self medication or the complete avoidance of situations that can cause them to suffer.

If you are in Maine you can go to Sweetser. You want to go to a clinic that specializes in diagnostic testing. Not a mental health clinic. Mental health clinics tend to misdiagnose you. You should be tested. A test for Autism ranges from Mind Blindness tests to puzzles, problem solving skills IQ scores etc. A mental health clinic will base diagnosis on the symptoms they see over a short period of time. Not very good for diagnosing Autism. Especially high functioning autism in women. Misdiagnosis are serious because among them you'll find, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression and even schizophrenia. These are often treated with medication. Medication commonly has an opposite or adverse affect in the Autistic individual and can have devastating and long lasting negative affects on the person's life.

I am in love with and married to an aspie. Wade is right re less stressful environment... As I am learning what I can do for my dh (and for myself - to make our relationship work), I've learned that he *requires* quiet alone time every day so that he can detox and destress from the chaos, perceived judgements and "pretending" of the day. He too is afraid that i will leave. and he's right - I would - except that i know he's working on bettering himself and i trust that about him. I found a great resource: "Marriage with Asperger's Syndrome: 14 Practical Strategies. By Eva Mendes, M.A." and he and i work these steps as we learn more about it. Finally, I've learned that prayer and mindfulness meditation are very helpful to him - being present helps slow down time for him so he can process without being flooded. So (in my best aspie style) 3 things: 1. set aside alone/quiet time for yourself daily; 2. Look up and read Eva Mendes, MA; 3. Practice mindful meditation and prayer throughout the day. Good luck to you!

This isn't paranoia... of you had actually experienced autism and knew what it was like to feel as if people were speaking a language you can't understand but have to fake to get along with them you'd be wary too... also many people with ASD are bullied and excluded, I myself have been bullied and excluded so really I'm just acting based on past experiences, fuck off

I have been bullied and excluded throughout my entire life. I'm a neurotypical. I am sure of this because I have been tested for High functioning autism under suspicion of having it. You're not being targeted just because you have autism. People who bully and exclude others for being different will forever exist. Yes, being excluded and bullied is more common among those with autism, but it also happens to many neurotypical people as well. I have literally never had more than two friends in my life and I've been bullied because I can't relate very well to others and tend to be overly logical.

I feel like this happens to me in the reverse alot. I'll sometimes fail to use the apropriate tone of voice or my body will be all over the place which puts alot of people in the dark so they just make up my intent in there head. even worse I fail to recognise the way they took it most times. So I pretty much only synergise with genuine people who atuomatically believe that I am also being genuine.

I struggle with business interactions, where people are acting friendly but trying to dominate, manipulate, or outright lie to each other. I get angry instead of expecting most interactions at work to be totally inauthentic and agenda driven - i.e. someone will be really nice to you so they can get you to do their work, a manager will talk about an exciting new opportunity that is actually a miserable, gruelling project with no additional payoff. I have a hard time going along with the game.

I disagree with this. When I ask for clarification I get treated liked I’m an idiot or being stubborn or manipulative because the other person can’t understand why i need clarification so they think my request for clarification must be dishonest. NTs need to believe us that we need clarification and not get mad or distrust us for our confusion for this method to work.

agreed. ever notice how those whose brains function "differently" or "atypically" are often said to have some form of genetic defect or disorder? i think that's bullshit. the most interesting people i've ever met have had something "wrong" with them (i hate to use that word but i'm not the best communicator so it'll have to do) in terms of brain development, and this almost always leads to an original state of mind and original personalities. we live outside the realms of conventional society, and we are socially condemned for it. free thinkers have always been persecuted for their beliefs and lifestyles.

Yeah, asking for clarification doesn't solve nearly as much as you might think. Most people will lie out of incompetence, indifference, fear of conflict, or to further obfuscate motive. It's actually a bit sad how this video is adequate at observation yet astoundingly poor at suggestion for correction. In my experience there is no solution but to never get comfortable with someone, and treat everything as though it is a business transaction.

I think this video is MORE true when reversed. When an NT interprets and aspie's words by reading more into it (due to expected social standards) even if they were intended literal. Then the NT reacts badly (and often doesn't "ask for clarification"), leaving the aspie with experiences that enforce the view that anything not understood should be taken as negative by default. The overly PC sensitive world of today where many people claim racism/sexism/other-ism just because *they* mistook what someone said doesn't help.

I don't verbally lash out at people who I think might be insulting and rude to me. I simply nod and go about my business while I vent internally if I feel that they're being a jerk to me. It soon passes and I move on as even if they meant to be a jerk to me, I'm not going to blow my stack over it as it's trivial in the big scheme of things. IF they meant no offence at all and were being sincerely nice to me, then no harm's been done from my end and all is well.

So we are already on information overload and now there are more expectations placed that we should understand what neuro-typical people mean even when they cannot properly articulate what they're trying to say... Nice posturing. It is so laborious to listen to drivel anyhow. Small talk and "helpful" criticism are not well received as they are usually open ended remarks that require interrogation to determine meaning and it's frustrating as hell. More to the point they usually start with the base assumption that the intended recipient is less than and needs the neuro-typical guidance...so that they can be just like them and then they can accept their position of superiority and maybe even feel a little self love. Pitiful.. This is why I keep most conversations as short as possible and engage as little as possible. I really enjoy my solitude. Communications are simple transactions to be completed. I could care less about sorting out what someone really meant. If they can't state it clearly, it doesn't deserve a response or any further attention. All this garbage about training to fit in...for what purpose and to what end? I really don't want to be just like you.

but the BIG problem is sometimes they ARE out to get you!!! I always assume that people mean things positively...and I get fired, I get stolen from, I get lied to and taken advantage of! We don't know when, and it isn't always the "mind blind" individual!! "Clarification": Why did you give me the desk in the middle of the hallway without cubical walls or give me a desk in an office? (everyone else in our department has either an office or cubical) Why can't I take the desk in the corner, it helps me deal with stress. The excuses were absurd: They will be moving the desk back to storage. That is the desk I assigned and that is the desk you will take. They can't move your old cubical walls over and assemble them. (yet, they moved cubical walls and assembled them in our department a number of time before and after the request. and they never came and got the unused desks!) DON'T down play our reality for justification of blaming us for OTHER"S abuse!!!

Less often then me misreading people the intentions fo other people is other people reading my intentions. So many times, people suddenly start yelling at me or otherwise getting mat at me and I had no idea that anything wrong between us was even starting before it went to 11. This has happened with both freinds and totaly strangers. And if you ask for clarififation, well, try asking for clarification from somebody who is screaming at you or giving you a hostile sarcasm, or asnking a hostile rhetorical question. I have. It just gets them angryer. Frankly, this video is kind of partonizing.

I have been with my wife for nine years, and I cannot tell you how I cried with relief this year when I was diagnosed with CAPD/and Asperger's. For years, all we did was fight, and I could not seem to escape the feeling she was playing head games, and trying to undermine me. I thought I was simply so broken from my upbringing, that we were screwed. Not only do I work with a program that helps me learn to communicate better, my wife and I are slowly learning to "re-hear" and "re-communicate."
