Headbanging

564763hygt

I've just been told that I have "high functioning" Asperger's Syndrome. I've never heard of this "high functioning" qualification for Aspergers (Autism, yes...but not Apsergers). I was told that it means that I am extremely intellegent, which explains many of my problems in life. I guess my daily life isn't too far from that of Wittgenstein's: one minute I'm contemplating suicide and becoming a monk; the next I'm throwing myslef into deep philosophical thinking about The Truth. I'm totally nuts but it's all good fun. Smile

I was wondering how people cope with this super-intense craziness? I try intense exercise, performing free jazz, headbanging (on a pillow), and even meditation. Sometimes this works; sometimes not. I've also found out that water sounds help me (I will buy a fish tank), rocking on my chair, walking with a walking stick, tapping my fingers and teeth in public places, and so forth. Does anyone have any advice on how to cope with the worst of this?

Have you ever seen the end of the film Pi (π)? I'm Faust gone mad! Laughing

...also, can anyone tell me what "high functioning" actually means? It sound like fluffly nonsense to me...any links to research?


Thanks

    Autodidactic adventures, I am still laughing at that statement... it sums up our aspergers condition.. Laughing So I am not the only person in world so can read up on anything regardless of subject,, just to learn about it,, because it is new information, stick it into a memory network in my brain and reassess the whole universe. And then when you try to share the information to the world, they try to harm you, as it goes against there egotistical existance and dogma.
