So your suggesting people with aspergers syndrome lack empathy, I supposedly "have" it I was diagnosed, but fit none of those characteristics. I just don't like being normal socially, cause of too much conformity so they labelled me with that. I guess. Maybe you had it more severe than I do but I really don't WANT to change, I actually enjoy the so called symptoms of my "illness" no I am not sounding insane here its not an illness its a gift, I love being able to be deep and authentic and not have to deal with the bullshit the average person goes through all the time, I consider myself a real human. Also I love emotional stuff and being emotional, So far as the symptoms you listed: I don't lack empathy, I seem to have more of it than some I meet, through meditation I am actually able to feel others emotions, but I always felt for people if they needed me, social cognition, why do I want to conform to society they can take their social rules and shove them up the ass, I have met plenty of people who accept me for who I am, I don't have problems making or having friends, well the last three things you listed are problems but I haven't had much experience with any of them, I have no desire to change who I am I see my "disorder" as a gift.
Autistic are not inhuman, they are usually just very misunderstood people.
Fuck Normality. Embrace yourself.
Hail Satan

I used to have a moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder by the name of Asperger Syndrome. I studied magick to gain control of my life. I lacked empathy, was overly emotional, couldn't process sensory information properly, etc. As I do my meditations and empower my chakras, my brain is being healed. I am becoming a real human being for the first time in my life. I am no more a worthless creature. I have noticed drastic changes in my social cognition, working memory, sensory processing, empathy, attention, impulse control, episodic memory recall and every other mental function. I can love myself now, all thanks to magick. Father Satan loved me before I started using magick. He has kept me alive. And yes, my very first curse was misdirected and got me sick. I have since learned how to deliver a curse without any consequences.
