Aspergers?

[Phil]

I don't have much to say about this other than there are a lot of meds that are available for any ailment some of that is good.

My father is 74 and has some knee trouble from a high school football injury that happened in 1950 or 51 and has bothered him until about 5 years ago when some new forumlas came out and he now does things that he couldn't do in his 50s so there are some pluses.

I don't know about prozak or all these other anti-depressants, calm down pills and whatnot. But there are some meds that are more subconcius but I am not assuming none of them are needed becasue that's not entirely true.

On 1 hand anything that soothes wounds is a good thing to a degree. I hate to have anybody become depening on meds to the point of not being able to overcome an ailment that is possible to overcome otherwise.

True, as presented, but, the human body wasn't made to process plant life [i.e. - "When did I eat corn?"]

We CAN eat vegatables, but we were MADE to eat meat and meat by-products.
So, technically, we're carnivores.

I did some research, and I guess technically our stomachs weren't meant to eat meat when we evolved, but we are classified as omnivores. I don't really have much to say except I hope you're not a fat pig who actually will try to tell himself we shouldn't eat vegetables. Didn't you ever watch pop-eye?

Pop-eye IS awesome.

At the end, I was expecting to find an ad from that guy for buying "VegSource Juice". lol.

Ok, I gotta get back to work. Boss is callin'.
I'll be back.

I think the writers of Popeye had a kid or 2 that refused to eat spinach because that seems to be the solution to all Popeye's adversity.

And I realize that my post is off topic sorry.

I am not fully aware of what Aspergers is I will have to read up on it for that matter I don't know if I have it or not since I don't know what it is.

[Mahnarch]

lol, danny.

Just don't use Wiki to get your learn on.

I'm back, by the way.
My incoming rig got caught in Chicago so I went home early (on a FRIDAY!! WooT!)

Ok, guys, who told you that you have Aspergers?
Is it the same doctor? or separate ones?

Can you give me their names and phone numbers to their offices?
I want to call them up for a brief interview. I want to know more about this and I want to hear information from the 'horse's mouth'.

Seriously. I want to gather as much as I can, before I go any further.

Asperger's Syndrome is real. My son has it, and believe me, it's no joke. Making fun of people with Asperger's is like laughing at someone who's in physical pain. Not too mature.

The medicine has some rather unpleasant side effects, and can only help to a degree. And that's if you can convince the sufferer to take the darned meds. My son goes off his regularly, and as he says, he's "not in his right mind".

Global warming is a farce. Asperger's is not.

You are retarded. My friend has asthma. Asthma is not some psychological disorder, it is a physical disease where your airways rapidly contract and become inflamed.

Maybe next time you should make sure you know what you're talking about before making yourself look like a total anal orofice. (rofl at censor)

Agreed. Especially the last part. Do you know how many times people have died from asthma?
My friend had it and practically became unconcious after jogging about 200 yards. Do you know what it's like to barely be able to breathe?
Then be silent.

[Mahnarch]

Werewoof, I'm appauled that you've fallen into the ruse.
'Aspergers' can be taken care of with proper diet and excersize.

Like I said before, A kid that's junked up on suger is going to be a little 'off'. It doesn't mean he has anything that needs to be treated.
A kid with little to no amounts of iron, calcium, sodium chloride or iodine in his system are going to be frail.

Going through Wiki, here...

Repetition:
Then every single factory line-worker has Aspergers.
Bank coin counters have Aspergers.
People who watch the same movie over and over have Aspergers.

Clumbsy:
I dropped my cell phone yesterday, and knocked over a skid of empty totes with the hi-lo. I must have Aspergers, too, then.

Social interaction:
Parents, get your kids out and among people more often when they're younger. Teach them how to not be SHY.
Have them join the Debate Club.

Restricted Interest:
A woman walks by - I'm concentrating on ONE part, too.
I'm not a fan of Country Music, so I'm not going to listen to the words.

[Side bar: I think I just found out that I HAVE IT, TOO!!!]

From Wikipedia:
Individuals with AS may intensely amass encyclopedic volumes of detailed information on unusual topics of circumscribed interest

There's also a section on speech and verbage - coining new phrases or juxtopositions, word-play, puns and satire.

Children with AS may show advanced abilities for their age in language, reading, mathematics, spatial skills, or music, sometimes into the 'gifted' range

Crap. That describes me to a 'T'.

I'm self-diagnosing, right now!
Where's my meds!! Dang it! (and I want the government to pay for them!)

You don't need some superficial 'desease' to be 'special.
Learn to play the guitar. Learn to skateboard like Tony Hawk.
Get people to pay attention to you in another way, besides from pity.

Busking. That's the best way to gain popularity for next to nothing and you may even earn an income doing it.

Asthma can be treated with regular amounts of excersize (other than 'Zerg Rushes') and with a diet of non-preservative marinated meats, mostly chicken or turkey, with high protien counts.
A larger Iodine intake will help with the physical inflammation, as well.

Don't waste millions over the course of your life on prescription inhalers.
Fish. Hunt. Play frisbee on the beach. (start slowly, until your body catches on. Don't run a 25k marathon the first day.)

***

Yogurts contain a good source of calcium.
Fruits for citric acid for metabollism and oxidation.
Peanuts that are salted. Iodine helps alleviate inflammation (found in salt) but, be carefull on the amount taken as salt can raise blood pressure.
Niacin in fish, mushrooms and broccoli for enegy and brain function.
Potassium, vitamins A and B in Bananas for oxidation, vision and bone health.

I could go on for hours, but I'll stop here.

Just put down the candy bar and pick up a carrot.

Step off your Segues and walk for once.

Become a better, healtheir person, naturally.
It's always the best option.

Mahnarch I have asthma, and yes regular exercise and good diet can help but it just doesn't go away. As a kid I almost died twice while I was camping in Minnesota because I had a bad case of hey fever and I have extremely bad allergies so that triggered an asthma attack. Imagine trying to breath through a straw and running a 200 meter dash. It is not as simple as you put it.

Ok.
So you'd like my friend to be dead right now because inhalers are useless. He jogged 200 yards! And had to lie down after that! Once again, do you know what it's like to be barely able to breathe? He also liked to swim, so he did exercise. In case you're wondering, swimming in a heated pool is better than running because you're breathing warm, humid air instead of cold, dry air.
Who uses a segway?

So next time my airway become constricted and i'm unable to breath i'll just run outside and play some frisbee, because really having an open airway is really over rated.

[Mahnarch]

You guys have no idea.....

You know what? Nevermind!
As long as I'm not paying your medical bills and having to suffer through your nerdish, 'I wanna be different' whining in real life: Screw off.

You want to be little pussies and nerds, feeding off mom and dad and a doctor who's looking out for his new Lamborghini? Go right ahead.

I hope you die before 20 of sugar overdose.

I will spit on your grave and flip your chocolate-filled corpse off in your extra-wide coffin because you didn't eat a god damned apple.

Way to give up on life, n00bs.

By the way: I'm a doctor and I say you have The Dropsies.
Now give me all your money on a monthly basis so I can buy my trophy wife some new boobs.

This is you:

[earlthekevin]

More cushin for the pushin as I say.


Also, if marty was banned for insults, then I say mahnarch is gone but I know it won't happen because it's one of the admins and mod's comrades in conservatism.

So don't mind me if I go rofl for a while.

You have a swastika as your avatar....(backwards, I might add)

How am I worse?
If anything, you're 20x worse than a guy who's trying to keep kids from taking drugs they don't need!

Here, take this Sodium Penthanol pill. It'll help you sleep.

I'm looking out for the health of Indoctrinated youths.

You want to cook people alive!

I hate you, ETK.
For the next 45 minutes, you are no longer my friend.

You have unwittingly proved your lack of knowledge. The left-facing swastika is a buddist symbol meaning "well-being." Fail. For the next 45 minutes, you are an idiot.

[Mahnarch]

Are you talking about the Sanskrit Svasti rendition?
I highly doubt that a public schooled individual, such as Earl, would even know about the Monkish beginnings, let alone know what a Monk is.

Either way: In today's society, it doesn't matter which way it faces...



Means:



It's like showing a picture of a puppy being killed and a kitten being killed.
In the 'mass' eye. It's the same.

Only you and I, and a few others can see the difference.

Good catch, by the way.

[Geekthras (The Gizmo of Yore)]

Yes, your image comparison is correct: X means X. Wheeee!
Now, do you REALLY think that ETK would make a swastika his avatar and get the wrong one? That's ridiculous. You're also assuming that he's public schooled, a kid, racist, and moronic. Now who's insulting? Maybe you think it doesn't matter, but the Nazis used it only one way.



Oh and, way to invoke Godwin's law.
