I made this thread so we can offer support and guidance to all of our friends with autism, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder-NOS, I am not autistic, but have been diagnosed with aspergers in the past, but I think that it would be beneficial to have thread to support people with autism or similarly related disorders.

I get really upset whenever I'm called into work last minute and it's not written down on the schedule, how do you people deal with unexpected changes of plans, or plans being sprung on you?

Oh bullshit. How can you support autistics when you claim to have aspergers? You're just trying to take the limelight away from us true and honest autistic people, faker.

I don't have aspergers anymore, but I have been diagnosed. I made this thread so I could offer support to the autistic population here.

Does anyone else here really like pictures? Whenever I am anxious then I look at pictures with a high concentration of green colors, and It calms me down.

I also like vibrant hues of blues? What colors do you like looking at?

Um, CAN autism/aspergers expire within someone? Can they grow out of it? That's news to me lol, from all the autistic cows we've seen I'm inclined to say that's false.
 
I am the most autistic person ever says the man playing with his miniature railroad where the train is covered in my little ponies

I guess in milder cases, you can train yourself to behave less stereotypically autistic?

Serious answer but with the proper help and services autistic children can be taught how to socialize and function in society but the autism will always live on and they'll probably be obsessed with trains or sonic

Not really, the primary measure of "rehabilitation" is level of functioning in normal society as I understand it. If someone "grows out" of an ASD diagnosis they probably didn't have it in the first place and were just poorly socialized.
Either it is a pervasive neurological disorder or it isn't, if it is it cannot be "grown out of"and can only ever be managed; not treated.

I'm not obsessed with sonic, therefore proving that I have been cured from my ailment.
