Do you have autism or asspergers syndrome?

I'm autistic or on the autistic spectrum

49

I don't have autism

169

So, I noticed there's hordes of fanboys who love to punish others on this forum. Autistic people have impaired abilities to have sympathy or empathy for other people. I wonder if this is a reason behind the huge outpourings of attacks on posters who are struggling with an issue related to Destiny? Have you no sympathy? Does your autism prevent you from feeling others' pain? Do you even understand what I'm saying bro? EDIT: I don't think it's autism. It's the Republican Party...teabaggers anyone?

  • Considering my son has asperger's, this shows me what a douche you are. People with aspergers don't lack empathy, they have difficulty processing emotion. If anything, they feel greater empathy to the point of stress/anxiety and so sometimes they will shut down in order to cope. The problem in the destiny community is the sheer mass amount of entitled whiners who take the game and themselves way too seriously.

    • Not true to the slightest? They don't work that way, I have Mild-Functioning Autism. I have trouble with social and mental situations, but am capable of doing things related to everyday life, my niece has much worse autism. It has nothing to do with anything, please no posts like this.

      • I'm autistic but I have sympathy and empathy. I just lack the social skills and impulse control skills to be a normal person.

        • ... Please don't tell me what I just read is that this community is an intolerable bunch of jerks because everyone here's autistic. If that really is what I just read I think I'm gonna punch you in the face. -.- Autism does not make people insensitive jerks, fyi. Seriously is this how people view us? Autism makes us [i]different[/i] not [i]inferior[/i]. Our brains work differently, and yes, we struggle socially, but [b]NO[/b] that does not make us insensitive jerks! All it means, in terms of this subject, is we won't realize the underlying angry/hurtful tone in some things we say. We don't have a lack of sympathy; we have a struggle realizing that something we say might be offensive, from time to time. Apologies about saying I'd punch you in the face, but bloody hell, man, think about how what you say might make others feel, would ya?

          • The community is terrible because the fps community is terrible, and they have flooded my rpg. Ever been in a lobby in cod after a match? The worst gamers on earth reside in there. And now they are here, and they are trying to turn this game into cod

            • No, this community is -blam!-ing terrible, thats all. Don't besmirch the reputation of people on the spectrum with the asshats on these forums who make the choice to be insufferable.

              • The game removed our sympathy. It sits here and -blam!-s us, so when some virgin gets -blam!-ed for the first time, we only remind him that there's plenty more -blam!-ing in the future. This is why we have no sympathy. I personally Disagree with Aspergers Syndrome. I've known multiple people diagnosed with it. They don't have disease. They need to go outside, they need to be forced to talk to people. Instead they are pandered to and allowed to complete University without attending class, or finishing assignments. -blam!- Them.

                • Just to completely devaluate your thread, everyone has autism, the only variant is how high each person measures on the scale. Have a nice day

                • It's called stalkholm syndrome... Phenomenon in which hostages of bungie express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with their captors.

                      I don't believe in labeling natural human behavior. "Oh I have depression, give me pills." More like you felt the natural normal human feeling of sadness. Deal with it. It's all in your heads. All kinds of pills will just mess your head up even more. We are who we are.

                        • Question- why did you decide to post this in the Feedback section of the forums? Do you feel this poll is somehow relevant to the video game product Bungie released. What's Bungie's roll in regards to this grievance? Maybe you should move this post to the Community section. Or if you wish to create a clan full of autistic guardians, maybe you could move it to the Recruitment section.

                          I'm not autistic, I'm just an arsehole. At least I can admit it, unlike some people >:[
