I have Aspergers. That, and my high IQ gave me an inexistent social life.

I have high-functioning autism. This is why a lot of people my age don't even take my love for movies seriously at all.
You stole what I was going to say! LOL, jk
But yeah, I have Aspergers too and not much of a social life.

Same with me.
People don't take seriously my creativity (which is inmense and I first showed with my preschool drawings) and think I'm crazy.
Mental/Psysical Disorders/Disabilities =/= Craziness. Deal with it.

Does low blood pressure count? That's probably the only thing I can think of. I need to eat almost the entire day or else I get really dizzy. Granted, my body burns through food like fire, so I don't gain weight.

I have a panic disorder that causes me to have spontaneous panic attacks. Other than that, I'm pretty good.

That must be terrible!

I get how it feels. :/
In fact, the only people whom I can REALLY befriend around the school are the teachers and that's it.

I remember being nicknamed "the lunatic" because of writing an history about a guy who arrives to a fictional world that it's in danger.
I asked them if they played Pokemon and they told me that was for kids.
Yeah, when you were 10 years old you were an old man.

I think that's either Aspergers or autism. I'm not sure. They're not the same thing, but you could have one of them.
Teachers have told me that too.

People thinks Aspergers and autism are the same thing, but autism is worse than Aspergers.
Sometimes you can make friends when having Aspergers, but you barely can make one with autism.
I'm a twenty year old male with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, so the effects have pretty much been established a while: cardiomyopathy, required ventilator, and extremely limited use of my limbs (read: I can move some fingers, but use a power wheelchair and require assistance or support for everything else.) I type with voice software and a word suggestion program. Fortunately, technology allows me to do most things I enjoy, though I have to pass on motion controls and most handheld devices as I can't tilt my neck down. I'm quite healthy for my condition and am showing signs of challenging the usual life expectancy, so I have no reason to complain.
That said, I am happy to lend a friendly ear to anyone's struggles.

Not sure what I'd classify myself as but I can never be happy for more than a few moments. It's almost like my brain auto corrects itself. I'm usually very apathetic or semi-depressed unless I'm doing something and sometimes even then.
Examples:
But when the negative thoughts start coming I usually just block them out with my apathy. Here's the soundtrack of my life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOfIDtvfmqg
So in the end I can't say that most of the day I'm unhappy or sad...I'm just not happy either.

Garrett: I don't know what it is. It's something like bipolar disorder, but I'm not sure.
Same here, just a spark of happiness then back to the pit again...
