Suicide as an alternative for living life as an autistic?!


Question: Suicide as an alternative for living life as an autistic!?
Im 15 now and have been thinking fora long while about comiting suicide for 3 years i think now!. My mom nearly always thought i had autism in some form, but this annoyed me incredibly and in my mind i credited the supposed autistic symptoms like the desire to be alone lot of the time, and not being able tostrugling to have casual conversations with others my age, to the lifestyle i was stuck in: homeschooled; with an overdevout or what i call fanatic cathlic mom who unintentionally gave me the idea that we were holier then most others, or even more intelligent!. This got many of my after-school friends to laugh at me and my "holy" ideas but anyways!. I'm going to join public school in the 9 grade after summer, but im uncomfortable how it might turn out!. I have trouble with holding eyecontact with anyone for a considerable amount of time and list of symptoms i recently read scared me to death literaly!. Im disgusted by the idea of being mentaly slow!. I tried it once, but i think i can now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No, go get some help some counselling!. You dont sound bad off as you think you are!. Alot of people like to be alone!. Alot of people cant hold eye contact for a long time!. not every one can carry on conversations with people their own age!. and the teens is an awquard time especially!. Just know you are not above others as you said you were taught by your mom!. Nobody is!. If you can write as you just did on this question, you are not as slow as you think!. It might take some time to adjust to public school, but its not worth worrying yourself so much!. And public school is not that bad!. Just let your mom know you how you are feeling and that you need to talk to some one like a counselor!. Good Luck! ANd dont worry so much you have your life ahead of you!.
but let some one know how you been feelingWww@Answer-Health@Com

This is not the time for suicide - you're very close to entering into a whole new world and phase of your life! Yes; you will still have some troubled days ahead (we all do) but when you get to high school, you will meet more kids who are like you, or at least sympathetic to you!. This will lighten the load, emotionally for you!. Your childish ideas will give way to new ideas and ways of thinking!. There are too many wonderful days just around the corner for you - hang in there! Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

How can you be mentally slow, in grade 8 at the moment, and write what you just wrote!? I don't think so!. Give grad 9 a chance!. Everyone is nervous about it, so you won't be alone!. Just, ya know, remember that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think going to public school and breaking out of your Mom's circle of influence will help you a great deal!.
I really don't think there is anything wrong with you!.

And as a side note: Autistic people are not mentally slow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your mom is a fuking nut!. her ignorance seemed to have done irrepairable damage already!. try to get out asap!. goto pubby school and try to thrive!. learn what your doing wrong socially and try to correct it asap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

9th grade is fun! try it, and besides, i dont think anyone can hold eye contact for more than like 30 seconds, its just creepyWww@Answer-Health@Com

Just because you have some issues with dealing with people does not make you mentally slow!
Even if you were a little slower then others, so what!.
My oldest daughter has learning problems, where she struggles on one side of the coin, she shines on the other side!. Yes, she has a slower then some when it comes to doing understanding classwork, she isn't book smart but she is smart in many many areas!.
Maybe get a part time job!? My daughter got a job last summer and she came out of her shell and shines at work!.
Her manager has told us many times,she is his best worker and he was thrilled to have her back--she quit for a couple of months!. She has met new people and has many friends now, she doesn't feel shy anymore!. She is able to open up and talk to people!.

Don;t lable your self as slow--has any testing every been done on you!? If not, maybe you should check into that once you attend public school!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You certainly don't sound autistic to me, but like an intelligent, sensitive type with a philosophical bent!. (I liked how you have questioned the idea that your family is uniquely holy or uniquely intellingent)!. But, being out of the mainstream, you've probably had much too much time to think about yourself and all your flaws, real or imagined!.

Another guess: I am guessing that your mother has probably centered her life around you!. There is a real mental syndrome called Munchausen by Proxy, where a parent gains attention for themselves by claiming their child is ill (or autistic, perhaps!?!?!?) diagnosing, discussing, seeking help, etc!. -- even when there is nothing wrong!. This makes the parent feel like a hero!. (Or, Chinese parents say bad things about their kids because they're afraid saying something good would be boastful and bring bad luck!.!.!.)

While I do not think there is anything abnormal about a teenager feeling inhibited when discussing things he doesn't care about with people he doesn't know well, I do think there is something abnormal about telling people your son is autistic when he's not!

Best wishes for your 9th grade year!. When I was in ninth grade, I was into music and found a great friend to hang around with!. I'm sure you'll find your niche too!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please do not further consider suicide!. I will be the first to tell you how much life sucks!. But the more you make it through the hard stuff in life the stronger a person you become and the more amazing you feel!.

Public school is not so bad!. You will meet someone there who will want to be your friend, maybe more than one!. Hell, I don't even like making eye contact with strangers!.

I totally don't think your mom should have told you you were autistic! If you hear something enough (be it good or bad) you will believe it!. When you hear you are sick for long enough you begin to exhibit symptoms of that sickness!. Mind of matter is totally true!. If your brain believes something to be true, it will manipulate everything to make it so!.

You should find something you are good at, writing, or drawing or something and put all of your energy into perfecting that hobby!. I think it will do you a world of good!. Find some way to express yourself in the world!. Not only will it help you find confidence, it will improve your self esteem, and most importantly your self worth!.

I hope you reconsider your negative thoughts!. The world is only as bad as you let it become in your head!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would hardly call your symptoms autistic!. And while your circumstances may have triggered or fostered your feelings, I would confidently propose that you have clinical depression!.

Clinical depression is a medical condition caused by a rather slight chemical imbalance in the brain!.

Describing your symptoms, especially the thoughts of suicide, to nearly any MD would probably get you onto a regimen of medication in short order after some examination!.

However, at your age, it might be difficult to get yourself to a doctor!.

If that is the case, you could try an over-the-counter treatment of L-Tyrosine or Tyrosine!. It can be bought at a big pharmacy or health food store!. It is a natural amino acid and is extremely safe!. It mimics prescription anti-depressants!.

You will be able to tell if any anti-depressant is working by noticing that you feel capable of dealing with life, NOT that you become artificially happy!. And if you feel capable of dealing with life, you will have no desire to commit suicide!.

Again, whether or not you have any autistic tendencies is a concern that has to take a back seat to addressing thoughts of suicide!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey you can write, but can you read!? If yes then you are litterate, if you are litterate then you possess intelligence!.

If you were slow then you would not b asking this question!. And I havent heard of trying to b alone as an autism symptom!.
Yer pretty fast, and ofcourse faster than yer mom!. No offence but she is putting herself over everyone else!. by saying yer slow but still smarter than most means she's einstien!?!?

if yu suicide now, then what that meas is that the ppl that told yu yer slow have mentally raped yu!. they told yu that yu were slow and and yu believed in them and killed yerself with them laughing their *** off!. more over some dude whose less smarter than yu got the opportunities in life which yu had the right of!. in conclusion, if yu suicide then :

ppl raped yu, killed yu and took yu money and fame and then they told everyone that yu died cuz yu were stupid!.

well i wont tak that from anybody, and if yu do then yes my friend yu are pretty slow!. but i know yer not!.

and the things taught by anybody isnt a fact, true education and knoledge comes from yer own experience!. so yeah, go to school and b a good lad!. i bet there are friends waiting for yu!.

hope this helped
peace ;)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Suicide's not the answer!.
You really should find someone you're comfortable with to talk to, you're stating that you're family is catholic, maybe try to talk to someone in the church you trust, or a family member!. But no, Suicide is not an alternative for anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
