My brother is autistic. He's like 20 and is obsessed with the 1960s like it's better than this age in every single fucking aspect.


I CAN'T STAND PEOPLE WHO THINK BACK IN THE DAY IS BETTER THAN TODAY. Sorry for the caps, but I run into it a lot online, especially among people I know on flickr who collect old packaging and electronics. Every once in a while, I get a slight hint that they really wish it was the 50s/60s again, and wished for the days where women and minorities didn't have rights. Like, most of them bitched when Obama was reelected.

Oh god.
That resembles my brother a lot.
 
Well I'm not sure if I would exactly call him a sperg, but a kid I went to middle school with does stand out in particular. He had rich parents who let him do whatever he wanted, used vulgar language in front of them that would never be tolerated in my parents' household, and most memorably, he had a weird obsession of drawing pictures of Hitler and gay sex, or whatever weird shit that was on his mind, and folding them up and giving them to other students. I was friends with him for a while, so obviously I saw the bulk of his "art." We were both big into a lot of the same video games, so that's kind of where our friendship picked up, sometime in the middle of 6th grade. Apart from the Hitler gay sex drawings and stuff, he did have some rather odd behaviors and was somewhat antisocial. Over time though, a sort of wedge grew between us, and the last nail in the coffin was us getting into a wrestling match in the middle of the school hallway. Of course, he started it, as he has anger control problems I was not initially aware of. I do not remember speaking to him again.

I looked him up much later, and it turns out he was arrested for assault on a female, kidnapping, and death threats, and did some jail time for it. All things considered, I'm not surprised. But I moved to a different state, and eventually I believe he did as well, from last I heard. I'm not exactly sure what he does now though.

I've met plenty of odd kids, some with autism, others who were simply weird in their own way, and many others, but this one certainly stands out.

I still attach files to e-mails (but only really my resume for jobs)

I know a guy with autism, although I've never met him in person. I'm friends with him on Facebook.

The most obnoxious things he's wanted me to do was to help get him unbanned from online forums for sperging and message people who blocked him. Of course I didn't help him. Although he's been through a lot of therapy I don't think he knows how to socialize properly, he comes off a bit forced. Other than that he's OK. I haven't talked to him in a month or two, though.
You're friends with jcrowley?
 
:lol:

Nah, it's not da vax monsta. This guy doesn't know about the CWCki, and if he did, he'd probably be upset that we're making fun of a fellow autistic.

He spergs about foreign languages and music.

Saying he really doesn't know how to socialize is too harsh. He's OK, he just has fits of hardcore sperging and doesn't know when to quit, although he's mellowed out considerably this year. I think he might be starting to go emo, though.

Does he even know any foreign languages, or does he just think he can speak them, but fail miserably?

He can speak some and fails at others.

Hey at least he's got an interest that isn't video games, like most spergs I've seen. Which languages though? I speak some Spanish, but I'm not going to pretend I can converse in it deeply.
 
Well, when I say he spergs at languages, he REALLY spergs at languages. He had a YouTube channel a few years back, when I first started to follow him, he claimed to speak 37 languages. After a few months, he claimed to speak over 70. Few people believed him, he didn't take too kindly to people who respectfully criticized him, and he got trolled as well. He deleted his language channel, Chez rocks all, but kept his band channel, Station Set.

Fortunately he went to school and became a Spanish translator, so he did something useful with his sperging.

If you want to see a TRUE and HONEST polyglot check out PolyglotPal or Richard Simcott. RS is my favorite YouTube polyglot.
 
I'm glad to see he took the time and effort to move on with his life and work towards at least one of his goals. And translators are definitely needed, quite a bit.

Maybe if he learns Arabic, Farsi, or Pashto, he could work for the CIA in some capacity. They really need people who can fluently speak these languages.
 
He's Canadian so he won't be working for the CIA. I believe he's dabbled in the languages you mentioned.

But yeah, he's definitely seemed to be mellowing out.

The guy that I mentioned earlier in this thread, the one that was obsessed with Hitler and gay sex, seems to have moved on with his life as well. Despite being a convicted felon (only the assault charge stuck) and having spent six months in prison, he's now studying to be a veterinarian in another state.

It's always a relief when one of these sperg or weirdo types don't end up making national news or completely self-destructing.
 
I might as well mention a experience since I was in a transition program until I graduated last year. This one person I never forget since he was like my own shadow. I won't name him for privacy sake. So for the first half of the year. I didn't notice anything about him til I actually gotten to know the CWCki better then before. I was more self aware and I started to notices things. He pretty much has autism like myself. He would keep to himself a lot being on his ipod. I don't think I heard him mention anything on friends. Even on Friday trips where most of them were a blast, he was indifferent about them. The only things I know is that he likes vidya, anime, Nostalgia Critic, and that he's really good with math.

There's was one thing that really stand out. There was a day where the teachers talked about one of the life coachs. They mentioned that one of them were going through a rough time. I won't go into details because piracy again, but he responsed with a monotone voice "Too bad". I wanted to say something, but I kept quiet. Its one of the few times I felt ticked off being in the program. The way he said it gave me a vibe that he was really indifferent, don't know what else to describe it.

Other then that experience. Others weren't so bad. Most I interacted were pretty nice, one even my best friend to this day.

It's amazing how little I remember from grade school, but considering it's been a very long time since I graduated I guess that is to be expected.This thread got me thinking, though, and it reminded me of a couple of kids I went to school with when I was growing up. I'll be honest, I don't think I remember any of these peoples' names nor have I spoken to them for coming up on two decades. Christ.

The first was this kid who kept a backpack full of action figures all throughout school. I stayed in the same school district for all 12 years of my primary education, and this joker was around for as long as I can remember being aware of him. I think I first noticed him in 2nd or 3rd grade mostly because he always -- ALWAYS -- wore his backpack or had it within his immediate vicinity. I figured out that it was full of toys because I just straight up asked him one day; he made me swear not to tell anyone if he showed me, and then he opened the zipper on the backpack and let me look inside. It was just a mess of Ninja Turtles and He-Man stuff. No assignments or books or anything. I have no idea how he kept up with that. He sat alone and kept to himself, and I remember when we were in high school he still had a couple of figurines with him, I guess because they were some kind of totem or something. He was pretty harmless, and I never broke that promise I made to him about telling the other students about his toys. :)

edit: I just remembered this guy also had a Walkman with him and he'd quietly listen to music all the time. I don't know the full extent of his music library but the one time I remember seeing him put a tape in the player it was a Ninja Turtles album.

I also remember this one kid who no doubt went on to become a huge pervert in the furry fandom. (Honestly, chances are we've probably crossed paths post-school and never knew it.) This guy was a big art nerd and was into Star Fox and the like. The only thing I really remember about him was that he became a rabid fan of the cartoon SWAT Kats and was obsessed with drawing the characters from that show. I'll admit, I loved the show too; that's how I got to know this person. We were "friends" in the sense that we had a couple of classes together and liked some of the same things, but it wasn't one of those friendships that would last beyond school. I hung out with him a few times and we watched VHS copies of SWAT Kats, and he would vent about characters and plots and stuff that he didn't like. He also had a crush on the chubby cat from that show.
 
What if you are the one with the 'tism? I'm definitely pretty mild compared to some of the other stories here, but do I have some experiences.

My high school was where a lot of misfits went, which resulted in a strange mix of both spergs and stoners. However, there was this one kid who went beyond what could ever be considered normal. He had a heap of mental disorders, and I'm not so sure about autism but he definitely had some of the traits. Certain teachers would actively try to block him from their class just because he could be so disruptive. He hit on basically every girl at school, and from what I heard, could be quite cruel when they refused to give in. This wasn't just limited to school; online, he amassed over 1,000 (not an exaggeration) female facebook friends as a part of his love quest. Occasionally, he would indeed get a girlfriend despite being disgusting to nearly everyone around him; after all, even the worst aim is still going to hit the target a few times when you throw a thousand darts. As expected, every one of them was an incredibly desperate mental case, and they never lasted for more than around two weeks.

However. what made him the most notorious were his outbursts in the middle of class. One of the most memorable was during a Philosophy class where the teacher was giving the example of a universally accepted statement, such as a "all chairs must have at least three legs." Many of the students tried to challenge this, noto understanding it wasn't so much whether or not it was true as to what it represented. This guy's retort? "My ass is a chair! It has two legs!" Another unforgettable moment in that class was, when presented with Descartes' premise that humans are made of both material and spiritual aspects, he shouted "so basically Descartes believed that your mom, dad, and God had a threesome and made you?" That fucking kid, I tell you, that fucking kid.

There was also another kid I didn't know as well, as he was a freshman when I was a senior, who I definitely know had autism. While there were bronies as far as the eye could see, this particular kid would write on the whiteboards and even make bathroom graffiti on how he wanted to fuck the ponies from My Little Pony.

I met this kid once who wanted to become an Army mechanic. That's a pretty good goal, right? Except that he wanted to become a mechanic because he wanted to "turn a humvee into a Transformer." He literally thought that the Michael Bay Transformers movie was a documentary.

He was 19 at the time.
 
I'm not going to bother re-posting my experience with creepy sperg, but I am gonna point out I have autism. I'm not really that bad anymore but in my early days in high school it was probably clear something was a little off... especially sophomore year when I had a crush on this one girl and responded to my own feelings very poorly. I didn't do anything creepy but it wasn't in the best of tastes either and led to her avoiding me for a little while, despite us having been friends before it. I still cringe when I look back on it. :(
