    Before we begin what I am about to write may not be written in any sequence that lines up perfectly or even transitions from paragraph to paragraph perfectly like an essay because this is me venting while expressing my hardship of having Aspergers.

    So bare with me.

    As a kid, I was always considered rude, loud, obnoxious and cold by my peers in school along with my teachers. I reality I am socially awkward with a mind that orients differently than of those around me and I think on a sort of different frequency than most people who don’t have Aspergers.

    I was even told I was the worst student that a substitute teacher ever encountered in her life after some classmate of mine provoked me and I yelled back at him for being a dick to me….the substitute ended up seeing what I did wrong and seemed to ignore the fact that my classmate provoked me first.

    My class and school mates called me psycho, a spaz, the R word used to describe people with very very low intelligences.

    I was held back a grade in school because I couldn’t focus in school and the other kids mocked me endlessly for being older than them since then I hated on myself for getting older and not achieving anything in my life.

    I would get bullied often almost endlessly by other kids no matter what school year or grade I was in and there were plenty of times I when I tried to stand up for myself but I would either be pushed back down harder by my bullies or the teachers would say I was the bully only seeing my part in the conflict and not my bullies because they knew how to manipulate things to look like I started it while I made things worse for myself with my naturally bad social skills.

    Heck even as an adult at work like my recent retail job I was bullied by my fellow coworkers. My old grocery manager one time while he sat in the break room and I was a few feet away from the door where he didn’t see me said to another coworker of mine in the break room with him that he said I was dropped on my head by my mother when I was a baby and this jerk along with all the staff even knew I had Aspergers even and he still made that comment about me.

    I even had another coworker who tried to trick me into eating a dirty chocolate egg she found off the floor thinking I was stupid enough to believe her not knowing I heard her talk to another coworker earlier that she found a dirty chocolate egg from the ground. This coworker even said I was slow up to my face thinking I wouldn’t understand her meaning but I did I just didn’t react just to avoid conflict.

    I had a hard time learning things like math and couldn’t focus no matter how hard I would stare at the chalk board or listen to the teacher talk. The information would go in one ear and come out the other ear.

    Having Aspergers I mentally age 5 or 6 years slower than most non autistic people and so maybe that was why I had such a hard time learning in school because my mind wasn’t mentally the right age yet to learn something like 8th grade math correctly.

    It would not be until many years later that I would understand or got close to understanding math or other subjects I had trouble in school as my mental maturity is slower than most non autistic people.

    My friendships never work out and my friends would end up leaving me at some point or I would leave them because things would get complicated and we would get to a situation where we couldn’t get along anymore.

    I would crave to be alone after being around friends for so long and having to deal with negotiating with them on what they and I wanted to do?

    I would no matter how hard I tried would come off as an unintentional jerk to other people and I have the bad luck of being around the time of thinned skinned easily offended SJWs or woke people running everything that with even one rude comment or gesture could make it that I never work again.

    I have accidentally pissed off so many people these past few years of my life before covid ever came to be that I think someone or several people in my real life might have cancelled me without my knowledge and now even with my Asperger work agency helping me find a job…..I’m not getting any job offers.

    I have major anxiety and can’t be around people in real life too long like Aquaman can’t be away from water too long or he’ll dry up and die.

    I need my solitude like Aquaman needs to be in the ocean to be fully energized and focused.

    It was this anxiety I have that I began hating my recent retail job that lasted from 2016 to 2019 because the stupid costumers would not stop coming up to me and asking me to answer their stupid questions about the store when they could’ve ask any of the other staff who were better at social interaction than I was.

    Why do the stupid costumers always pick me to answer their stupid questions? I even once had a line up of 10 people waiting for me to answer their stupid questions…..my anxiety built up so much and to this day I hate costumers still…better go apply for a job at Lucasfilm. (That was a joke people)

    I keep hoping to find love one day with a beautiful woman out of my league like a woman so beautiful and out of my league she could do professional modelling or acting.

    Having Aspergers I can be very very picky about the foods I eat, the shows I watch, the clothes I wear and the same logic applies to women I would consider dating.

    I seem to be attracted to model type women with high cheek bones along with beautiful face, thin petite frames, long hair past their shoulders, beautiful lush full lips, striking eyes, and perfect breasts.

    I seem to be so attracted to a particular type of woman I can’t be satisfied with dating women in my town because most are average looking and not the model/ actress types I am attracted to.

    My Aspergers causes me to be attracted to a template for potential mate but I also crave a certain personality type in a woman also which is that she is very open minded, kind, loyal, sweet, not quick to anger nor ever gets angry, has huge amounts patiences, rejects wokeness, and is extremely forgiving to everyone especially me because I if you knew me in person, you would get inevitably offended by me at some point because of the way my mind neutrally orients which isn’t like most people.

    I can be quick to anger when things don’t go my way and throw a temper tantrum like a 4 year old but over the years I have meloowed out a but I still struggle with controlling anger.

    I am extremely eccentric, and will give people all kinds of impressions about me as I by nature don’t conform to neural typical normality…..I think differently and act differently causing few to truly grasp or be able to relate to me or how my mind works.

    In alot of ways I am like an alien stranded on Earth, only I don’t have any cool super powers like Superman unless you count the fact that I have heightened sense of smell, somewhat higher sense of hearing, and greater sense of sensation of touch in that if feel something like cold or heat I feel more intensity from those things than the average non autistic.

    That is where I shall end this

    People suck. That’s a fact. As for your women attraction, nothing to do with Aspberger’s, I think. I’d say your standards are more normal than most people today (who just suck up and end up regretting it when they get divorced and lose all their stuff) and I’d even argue that my own standards are even more strict than yours.

    I’d say get back to the retail job and don’t let the stupid customer questions get to you. If anything, it’s good practice on social skills and you will need it if you ever do want a woman. I would also suggest a therapist but I personally don’t trust any myself but that’s just me.

    I think that there are a lot of people who will seize the opportunity and give you hell once they know that you has Aspergers, but on the other hand, I don’t think what happened at school was the fault of you or your Aspergers, I think that’s the result of teachers having favoritism, schools from my experience have a prison like culture, and teachers sometimes have their favourites the same way that guards and wardens in prison do, I just got around to watching the first season of Prison Break recently, and the behavior of the staff and inmates brought me a familiar feeling, even though I’ve never been to prison.

    The retail job not gonna happen, I forgot to mention that I had a shit time in retail, my boss was a piece of shit, I was meant to be part time but he gave me way too many shifts and they kept getting longer like 6 to 9 hours and I can barely deal with that even if I am paid $15 an hour. I think that jackass was trying to turn me into a full timer without benefits and doing it in a way that was subtle until I wouldn’t notice thinking I being mildly autistic wouldn’t notice.

    The guy was a crony capitalist and not a true capitalist who would’ve done the right thing…and fired me but he didn’t the son of a bitch kept me on for fear he might be in trouble for firing a guy who is both Asian and mildly autistic. So this piece of shit decided he wanted to make use of me and deal with the problem with his full time workers not wanting to work longer hours…by making me an unofficial full timer in secret without the benefits.

    The one thing I have wished for since Covid began was that my old boss lost so much money from the pandemic because most of the costumers who shopped at his store were elderly people and he lost so much that he ends up in poverty…..it would be Karma for how he treated me.

    I never want to go back there ever again or to any retail ever again, plus I have to get the jab to even get that job that puts me around alot of people and I refuse to inject myself with an untested not FDA approved substance for a disease that isn’t even 10 years old that has a 99.9 survival rate for someone under 80 and 99.7 survival rate for someone 80 years and over.

    Also thank you for calling me normal for my attraction to women you have no idea the amount of people I have encountered in my life over the years that have told me to lower my standards and not have a checklist when finding a wife. It is refreshing to hear I’m not crazy or uptight for wanting a beautiful woman pretty enough to be a Hollywood starlett from the days Hollywood valued beauty over agenda and who had a good truly down to earth personality too.

    I had a second cousin from Philadelphia who kept telling me to lower my standard for finding a women or I’ll be unhappy and now he is married to a lady from the country that makes cheap stuff for Walmart. She demanded that he and his close family fly in everyone of her family from her home country for their wedding that my second cousin and his close family had to pay for it all.

    His close cousins even said she wasn’t good for him and that she was using him, my fingers are crossed that she is a good digger and would rob him for everything that idiot second cousin of mine owns. If she ends up divorcing that big dumb ape then I was right……higher standards for finding a woman is the right call. Love isn’t like trying on clothes where you buy a shirt..you find out it, it ripped then you return it to the store for something else, no you think carefully and find the right person or you’ll be divorced.

    Also I recently saw a psychologist awhile back she was a bit woke so I had to hold back alot and in the end she said I was mentally well and that I didn’t need her anymore. And also like you I don’t know if I could trust a therapist or phycologist to today’s world these are the same people that tell depressed teenagers to change themselves through surgery to be something else…..so that ain’t gonna happen.

    At this point even though I am not Christian or even really religious…I think I should speak to a reverend or pastor instead cause most aren’t woke morons paid by the government unlike therapists or psychologists.

      I wasn’t going to post on this because I was afraid that in trying to help I might rub you the wrong way. But I think the right thing to do is give you some words of wisdom. I do not know your age but I am little older. So I have some life experience.

      -Mental Health-
      I do not have the same malady you have but I do suffer from my own. So I get why it’s tough to be around people and so on. I suffer from a pretty good dose of social anxiety as well. I have found that it eases the more you do it. I am not at all suggesting that is some magic cure I am just stating my own experience with that. I have also found that times when I was depressed, if I dug that hole deeper it was that much harder to crawl out from so when I start to swing low I try to positive my way out of it. You do that enough times and it becomes second nature. Again, that does not match you exactly but I thought I would toss that out there because it made a huge difference in my life.

      -Women and standards-
      You should indeed have standards, without a doubt. But having them purely on the physical is somewhat of a misfocus. If you are dating or after someone only for their looks you are approaching the situation in such a way as it will always end in disaster. Outward Beauty is for initial attraction and you of course need to be attracted to someone. But knowing them and seeing if they are beautiful on the inside GREATLY transforms how you seem on the outside. I personally don’t ever ask someone out due to looks only. I ALWAYS get to know them first and if I like them as a person then attraction naturally builds. But based on a good and solid foundation. Again this is just my experience.

      -Seeing a Pastor-
      DO IT! That is a great idea. I am Catholic and I know for certain that actual Catholic priests are trained as counselors and life advisors. Their bend will always be toward God but I consider that a good thing. And speaking of God, I think you should give him a chance. We all are born looking for something bigger than ourselves. We all will worship something and we all will put Faith in something. Why not let that thing be God and join a community that will love you for who you are? My own personal thought here is nothing bad could come of this for you. What’s the worse that happens? You find people that care about you as a human? I think this could benefit you greatly on many levels.

      Anyways man, I hope some portion of that helps. I think you are in such a position that you are searching for a few things. That is a healthy thing to do. I am always looking for new friends I would be more than happy to exchange email addresses if you just need an ear to bend.

      @Megazord_Jeremy

      I agree with @Vknid that a Christian counsellor would be better than a government run therapist, even if you’re not particularly religious, and I say this as an agnostic-atheist, I think the worldview of a Christian is going to ultimately lead to such a counsellor making better decisions for you than someone who’s been indoctrinated into feminism and intersectionality, the reason your therapist told you that you don’t need help despite having anger problems is because in her feminist mind, men are violent by nature and by not controlling your anger you’re just “being a male brute”, rather than taking you seriously as someone with a problem.

      Also I see no problem with you having an ideal woman, everyone whether they admit it or not has an idea of what their perfect partner should be like, many women apply this to the extreme and don’t give a guy a chance if he falls short of them in the slightest, or at best, will have a “temporary” everyman until they can dump him for their dream guy, I hate to break this to you, but you probably will never end up with a decent woman, NOT because you’re not good enough, but rather the opposite, most women these days have been brainwashed, and I don’t see it getting better anytime soon, until the modern leftist culture collapses the pool of suitable women for ANY man is only going to get smaller and smaller, the only hope I can personally see is if our woke overlords decide to start treating white females the same way they stigmatize white males, resulting in white women losing their jobs due to discriminatory policies in favor of minority women and being ostracised, when someone is mad, it takes the nastiest dose of reality for them to snap out of it, in conjunction with that, I think that when feminist stop targeting white men specifically and admit that they hate brown and asian men too (which they do), it could unite us men in a potentially unprecedented way.

      @TobiMcQuire @Vknid

      I think Christianity is going to rise in the West in the future whether we see it now or not because of all this woke stupidity that is constantly being pushed out and making everyone’s life harder and harder.

      The fact that Tobi and I who are both not really religious people are taking here about considering talking to a Pastor or Reverend about our problems shows that the Far Left has unintentionally…laid down the soil for the seeds of Christianity to grow in these hard times.

      I think lots of people right now are maybe like me in that they might be getting more and more interested in Christianity in how it’s light seems to be glowing brighter and brighter each passing day in comparison to wokeness’ darkness that gets more and hard to see.

      And with Youtubers who report on the truth like Timpool constantly bringing up facts that it was Christian beliefs that are the foundation that built up the rules of America and Canada that lead to things like Human rights and equality in the West…Timpool claiming he is a liberal at least a 1990s version who isn’t Christian or religious bringing up facts about Christianity and how it contributed to things like Free Speech and Human Rights and got people like me to appreciate Christianity more and more…..that might be a sign Christian’s seeds are planted and people who may not be religious are taking notice to what this belief might bring to their lives to hopefully make things better in the long run.

      If people like Timpool are without knowing it showing how important Christianity is to the rest of us…..then the seeds of Christianity are planted and a rise of the faith is inevitable to everyone’s future.

      Boy I got very very religious there.

        Christianity is also growing quickly in the East. China is having a good bit of trouble containing it. Like a Christian in the Middle East a Chinese Christian is at severe risk but they chose to follow God anyway.

        It sounds like Christianity has made an impact on you. Maybe you need to investigate that a bit further. Maybe it’s because you are looking for something. I urge you to look into it more. I am not saying run out and go join the first Church you find, I would maybe have a chitchat with the Lord and see where that goes. Maybe crack a Bible to a random spot and see what you learn. What’s the worst that happens? God can be a refuge from hardship my friend. A place to bring your troubles.

        @Vknid

        I am starting to think not only do I need to explore Christianity but maybe my whole family with the amount of problems they all have like anger, fear, rage, lack of self awareness of one’s mistakes and the list goes on.

          you have no idea the amount of people I have encountered in my life over the years that have told me to lower my standards and not have a checklist when finding a wife

          That’s ironic, considering those people are probably obsessed with having checklist for everything they do…

          #231639

          Could a Reverend or Pastor prescribe medications for their patients like a Psychologist? Or do they prescribe other things?

          #231644

          Priests and Clergy are not medical doctors, so they can’t prescribe medication.

          They speak and talk about the spiritual side of things.

          So you will still have to visit your family doctor and specialists for your medical means.

            A Priest can of course speak to spiritual things and also be a life advisor. They can do both well. But they can also get at some things in a way a therapist cannot in my summation.

            Only a phycologist or an actual psychiatrist can prescribe medications. A pure therapist can only talk to you in much the same way a Priest can and cannot prescribe medication. There are some nurse practitioner therapist hybrids whom can do medication also.

            I will put forth some advice on this from experience. If you go to someone who can prescribe medicine. Their only tact seems to be medicine. Another words instead of talking to you about your issues they are just medicine managers.

            Now something else to keep in mind here. Whether you see a Priest, therapist or doctor. You will of course encounter good ones and bad ones and ones that you mesh with well and ones that you don’t. Just keep that in mind.

            One last thing. I urge you to see a Priest first. Why? They can attend to multiple needs you have whereas I think the others can only attend to 1. AND, a seeing a Priest is free. The others are costly. So you can see a Priest first, get your bearings so to speak and then maybe go see someone else.

            This of course is just all my 2 cents.

            @Vknid

            Also and I forgot to reply to you the part where I talked about me wanting a woman for her good looks. You had me all wrong….I want a woman who has a very very good inside beauty as in personality….who happens to also be extremely attractive on the outside too. For me I want both good personality and good looks in a woman I would date or marry.

            For me a beautiful woman who has good personality and good looks together that to me is like the scene in the Vin Diesel movie triple x where he looks at the cool looking car then all the cool guns on the table and is telling the tech guy “I want all that in there.” So the car’s design is like a woman’s good looks and all the cool guns that Vin Diesel wants in the car is the woman’s good personality.

            So I see a beautiful woman then I see a good personality on the table then I look at God, point at the good personality on the table then I point at the beautiful and I say  in my best Vin Diesel voice “I want all in there.”

            I want both things, kinda extremely high standards in teems of dating and maybe impossible but I want the best of the best.

              There is nothing wrong with standards at all. But the point to everything I was saying was that I would not rely much on external looks as a bar of attractiveness because the internal aspect of a person will have far more to do with that. Granted, you have to be attracted to someone physically but the inside of that person will have far more to do with the attractiveness level than the outside. And keep in mind one of those is fleeting while the other is not.

              Just my 2 cents.
