I really wish there was some easy cure I could just have that would make it go away because its depressing when I think about how much it bogs down my potential and my ability to help those I care about effectively while not looking like such an incompetent dunce. thinking here and there how I should just go and die because of how useless I feel, how much I feel like shit. is there something on the way? any actually good treatments that I can apply to function better? what could I do to remedy or fix this problem so I can be a better satanist and in general a better person for everyone I hold dear.
I hope you guys understand :/
The only "problem" with curing Asperger's is that there's so many things that can cause sypmtoms that would be classified as it, meaning the diagnosis reveals little about the actual problems causing those symptoms. It's not an actual condition itself, but more of a way of saying that someone is socially awkward or gets upset over minor things other people don't care about as much. What actually caused or causes a person to be that way is seperate.
I think that just because people don't understand the way you think doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with you. As long as it works for you and you're able to do the things you want to, it's not your problem. And if you're unable to do something you want to, then find a way.
You said it depresses you when you think about how much it bogs down your potential and ability to help others without looking incompetent. Rather than feeling depressed about it, you should set a goal for yourself. In what ways do you want to help others? What goals do you want to reach? Once you've set a goal, all you need to do is work and achieve it. And if you face difficulties along the way, then look for a solution.
If it's social skills that you struggle with, rest assured that they aren't something one is born with but instead are learned, and can still be learned even if you are late. It just takes some effort to try and understand what people like or dislike socially if you're different from them in some way, and practice and effort to apply your understanding of it in a good way so people feel comfortable talking to you. Just with that, most misunderstandings and awkwardness can be avoided. And in time, you'll get used to it like everyone else and won't have to think about it so hard anymore; it'll just be automatic.
