This thread seems to be focused on her hideous appearance, which is understandable, but that's actually not the worst thing about her.
She is faking autism. Not the high functioning "I'm socially awkward and obsessed with anime" kind of autism, but the full retard, can barely speak or wipe their own ass, kind of autism. She claims to have an IQ of 85 even though she writes more intelligently than the average person, and has produced videos where she appears to be severely disabled:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnylM1hI2jcHowever… she does not have autism or mental retardation. Accounts from former acquaintances here
http://abaggs.blogspot.ca/ reveal that she attended a high school for gifted kids and went to college. She appeared intelligent and socially normal during this time.
Sometime during college she started doing a lot of acid and went nuts. She was given a diagnosis of schizophrenia. This is the only one of her diagnoses that seems legitimate. While schizophrenia can be disabling it would not produce any of the autism-like symptoms that she claims to suffer from. It is impossible to develop autism in adulthood, by definition it is a developmental condition.
She has claimed to have other disorders before, such as multiple personality disorder and manic depression, but later retracted those claims.
It's fucked up. She is pretending to be retarded and literally shitting in diapers to get attention/money. She's selling false hope to the parents of actual autistic children. She's more of a horrorcow than a lolcow.
tl;dr Amanda Baggs is a relatively normal person pretending to be a low-functioning autistic.

No. 207469
>>207456The group posts from after she'd been off of LSD for a while read like a creative writing project. One even had a poem in it that she supposedly heard from the elves. Given her later history, it wouldn't surprise me at all if she no longer had honest schizo symptoms at that point but kept it up for attention/to look hardcore. The different psychologists she went to afterwards might have trusted that the earlier diagnosis and didn't question it. Her experiences on LSD plus her interactions with patients online would have made her good at faking.
Also, I don't know much about schizophrenia but do the delusions usually relate so strongly to your interests? She was a sci-fi / fantasy nerd even before any of this started and the whole "I'm really an elf named Nightsong" thing reminds me of otherkin and 11 year old Lord of the Rings fans. Like, my great-aunt was schizophrenic and she just heard crying babies and thought God told her to give all her money to some crazy church.

How was someone who is mute, severely disorganized, lacks control of their bowels, has several caretaker visits per day and needs close access to machines to keep them alive accepted to an early college program? How does someone like that even attend school? Even if she dropped out,
someone thought she was capable. She and her parents thought so or else she wouldn't have gone. How did she go from being "normal" enough to attend school to being physically incapable of leaving her house or washing her own ass?

>>207568I wonder that too you know. Reckon she didn't just get a poo bag after an operation and then blagged to the government about some other "illnesses" in exchange of benefits tho? That's what the majority would and do here in the UK. Abuse the system like crazy.
I remember this girl from my high school, she was a bit like this minger tbh. Fat, short, manly, glasses, didn't speak and sounded like a man with a deep voice. Very anti-social and a complete cunt when everyone had finished feeling sorry for her.
From the first year of high school, she didn't make friends she would just sit on her own and she was one of those where people felt sorry for her so they were automatically nice to her.
She was a bit of a possessive cling-on to a friend of mine and wanted her all to herself. We'd all comment on this and she would get defensive, but walk away crying, pretend she had panic attacks and tell us all about her "illnesses" kek.
Then one day, I was walking to my class on the stairs when it was quiet and she was there at the top. She said after I had passed her… "You know, I've always been a pretty good actor."
I remember turning around and saying "What?"
and she goes "Yeah, that's right. They fell for it, that gag I pulled. You did too, ha."
I just nodded like really slowly.
Then she walks closer to me twiddling her umbrella. "You guys really think I have autism don't you? Well, you're wrong. I'm just a good actress, my mother always told me so. I think I'm a pretty good too."
Then she walks away with this cunt smirk on her face.
God, I still hate the bitch even after six years of not seeing her troll face.
No. 207572
>>207568Good find. Her acquaintances have stated that in college, she started doing huge amounts of psychedelic drugs and had a psychotic episode. I don't doubt that her mental health severely deteriorated at that time. However, she seems to be recovered now. Her writing is logical and even eloquent, and she doesn't seem to have any psychotic thought patterns (well.. besides pretending to be a low-functioning autistic). Definitely not what you'd expect from someone with a catastrophic case of schizophrenia.
It's definitely not autism - adult onset autism is simply not a thing. It is a developmental disorder by definition.
The impression I've gotten from reading her blog and her friends' accounts is something like this:
Amanda starts out as an intelligent and developmentally normal young woman. She has some emotional issues and is a bit socially awkward. In college she starts doing way too much acid and shrooms. She has a psychotic episode, gets committed and is diagnosed with schizophrenia. She finds out that she enjoys the attention she gets for being "sick". When her psychosis is under control, she begins faking various illnesses online (this is documented on the blogspot). She takes an interest in a low functioning autistic girl (also documented) and begins to pretend to have autism herself, even though her claims make no fucking sense. She's getting off on pity and her own helplessness.
Sorry for the long post, I just find this freak interesting. It's all so fucked up.

She's like the craziest bitch who is faking medical disorders who goes on and on about how NECESSARY and CRUCIAL her tube is to hide the fact she faked and exageratted (possibly hurt herself on purpose to show symptoms) the disorder to get the tube so she can go online and gloat in her rather eloquent and intelligent typing style about how SICK she is and how she has about 30 different physical, internal, mental, developmental disorders.
No one is this sick. She's like the most insane cow ever and y'all bitch about her weight?

If she has it together enough to be a disability rights activist and to advocate for herself, then she's not nearly as delayed as she's playing it off to be. When you see kids that bad off being advocated for, it's always the parents who are doing it, but no, somehow she's managing on her own? I don't believe it.
>>207570Lol I had a friend like yours too. "fit for work" when it was convenient for her, but "unfit for work" (and would brag about it and actually go out and celebrate whenever she got that decision from ATOS) when it wasn't. She said she had panic attacks and PTSD, and would talk about it all the time, but never actually show symptoms (probably did to the ATOS people though when she needed to) and could go for nights out and shows and shit like that just fine. Because I guess it was work that
triggered her? I dunno. I actually deal with PTSD, anxiety, and panic attacks, and tbh most of us dealing with this shit just want to go to work and live a normal life like anyone else. It's really shite too to see people like her and your high school acquaintance work so hard to milk the system when there are actual disabled people who need the money and are having trouble getting it, again because ATOS says they can work. ATOS seems incompetent and there are too many malingerers, and people dealing with actual challenges get fucked over because of this. I'd probably report mine to DWP tbh, but I'm no longer in contact with her, and that's really for the best.

She's not this sick. She doesn't have autism. She takes swlfiea looking vacant and covered in facial hair because it's all "evidence" of how she's super disabled and sick and special.

>>207394I have gastroparesis. It's nasty. You literally cannot overeat without puking or ending up in bed wishing you were dead.
But it looks like she's got other things wrong that contribute to her weight. But if she's eating so much with gastroparesis then she must be eating through the pain or has become used to it. Prescription medication like Ultram really helps. It's possible she's on something for stomach pains and nausea and just ignores the other symptoms.
I see a post about a feeding tube. I don't think you can get fat on those. Not unless you are eating as well or have some other problems. But I do believe she's got real conditions and not fake ones.
It's really unfortunate that she looks like this. But even ugly people can do things to make themselves more attractive. If she got her hair styld and fixed up the unibrow and facial hair she'd look a little better. Plus her wardrobe is bad. It reminds me of when kids put on their grandparents clothes.

The shit she posted about facial expressions is what really puts the nail in the coffin on her fake autism to me.

I've been around these types since i was a child, i had to help one of them wash his own face in the bathroom.
A low functioning autist wouldn't be able to put together such coherent sentences at all. She wouldn't have the mental power to reflect deeply. Hell, doctors wouldnt even tell
her what's wrong with her. She wouldn't live on her own, she'd been in some group home, constantly monitored. She posted a video of herself wandering in a kitchen alone, an autistic person who is as lown functioning as she claims she is wouldn't even be allowed to be in the kitchen alone.
If she decided to go the "i love trains" autist route, then I'd
maybe believe her. The only people who'd believe this sre people who have never actually seen a low functioning autistic person in action.

i've followed her for a long time. i thought she was fascinating. she lives independently and has caretakers that visit her daily to wash her and do chores. she chooses to keep her body hair because of an autism thing and can't remember her face unless she has a beard.
but now that i think of it, her laundry list of disorders/illnesses seems really bizarrely long and improbable. she has gastroparesis and if she eats anything she aspirates into her lungs and gets bronchitis, trigeminal neuralgia (considered to be the worst pain a human can ever experience, really terrifying shit) and gets painful nerve blockers to stop it, severe adrenal deficiency, severe autism, regularly gets meningitis, "something like mysanthia gravis," that one disorder where your cartilidge is too bendy that causes severe pain and deforms your hands and fingers, and in passing mentioned she has trouble peeing and has some kind of electric node in her bladder and needs an oxygen tank like those were least of her problems. i really couldn't fathom how someone can have so many problems but is still alive, still coherent and not in a home and i thought she was admirable. it was because of the way she looks that i believed she was severely disabled, like someone in so much pain probably can't take care of themselves properly. but now reading all of this stuff on her in the past, i don't know. i'm just floored. how can someone fake the severity of life threatening illnesses.

- She has autism. The severity is still questionable.
- She had a brain abnormality at 13, but we don't know what caused it, what became of it or what kinds of problems it caused.
- She has PTSD because of doctors' adherence to "autism stereotypes." She mentioned abuse at 14 but not 10 years later, so this can be assumed to be the primary cause.
- She had schizoid symptoms at 14.
- She seems to know what conditions she has (despite not being able to express herself or say where she feels pain?) and has had many past encounters with "bad doctors" who disagreed with her because they didn't know her and believed autism stereotypes.
- Caretakers must do what she tells them and have to provide a typed explanatory statement if they disagree with any of her directions. She is
triggered by caretakers and doctors doing things she doesn't want.
- There's still a large number of diagnoses unaccounted for.

>>208742I haven't seen many people online that talk about gastroparesis. I've been aspirating food over the past few months. I certainly don't want a tube going into my stomach. But reading up on her it seems that some doctors tried to talk her out of the tube surgeries. I remember asking if that or a liquid diet was an option and the doctors told me it was a last ditch solution and it wasn't something I'd be happy with.
So I have a hard time believing someone would actually want this after professionals tried to talk her out of it. Maybe they just gave her what she wanted so she'd stop bothering them.
I too find it amazing that she could have so many conditions and not be in a home. You'd think that it would be extremely dangerous if she had an accident or there was a fire.
>>208791That is really strange. You'd think that there would be a maid keeping it clean because of the danger. She can't wipe her ass or brush her teeth without help. Yet her typing is so literate. I'm sure she'd explain that as a quirk of her autism. But really her autism comes off as something out of a movie.
I don't doubt that she has health problems. But I wouldn't doubt that she's exacerbated them with unnecessary surgeries and procedures. She may have doctor shopped until she got the diagnosis she wanted. Or she complained so much that they just wanted to placate her.
I wonder if she's the kind of person who poisons themselves or purposely eats foods she can' digest just to look sicker? Since she's eating candies and pumping them out of the tube I've got to wonder what isn't getting pumped out. She's posted about eating ice cream. Dairy and gastroparesis don't really mix well. If she's eating ice cream she's going to feel sick. And after she pumps out the evidence she can complain about stomach pains to her doctors.

I don't want to defend this woman, not for a second. But I see a lot of people in this thread using pretty shitty logic as to why she's "Not really autistic"
The "functioning" part of an autism diagnosis refers to social development, because that's what autism primarily manifests as, it doesn't necessarily dictate the person's ability to function in other ways. For example, I knew someone with a diagnosis of "High functioning" asperger's and whilst he appeared mostly socially normal, pleasant even, he couldn't wash; feed himself properly; manage his finances at all or look after a house well enough to to stop himself from living in squalor. He needs slightly less care than this woman (Because he doesn't have a feeding tube or any other physical problem) but if you were to look at anything he'd written or his SNS or whatever you'd assume he was just a normal guy.
Not all low functioning autistic people are so bad they need 24/7 assistance - which is another thing. The highest level of care you can get outside of being institutionalised is usually a nurse visiting once a day. This is pretty standard, and it's really rare for people to actually need that amount of care. Remember these people don't have to work or have any real responsibilities, most are fine to potter about their houses doing whatever they do all day.
Again, I don't want to defend this woman, but remember that part of the reason fakes hurt real disabled people is because people start using this logic against actual disabled people. They make it harder for them to be believed about their conditions. It's a combination of all her stupid shit that makes it likely she's faking, not just "Autistic people always need to be exactly like X Y or Z or they're faking."
sorry for tl;dr I just worry some poor sperg is one day gonna have to deal with a witch hunt calling them a fake because of people like this cunt.

Its ridiculous to think that someone who can't keep her feeding tube clean is capable of introspective thought. She's selling false hope to parents of severely autistic children with her actions, and she should be called out as such.

No. 209216
>>209212I didn't once state that I believed her, or that I think anyone else should. but shit like this:
>Its ridiculous to think that a woman so autistic that she shits her self and cannot properly boil a pot of water in a reasonable time has the ability to sit down at a keyboard and type the way she does. Is exactly what I'm arguing against. Yes, it seems ridiculous, but unless you're a healthcare professional you have absolutely nothing to base that on other than intuition. I know people who've failed ATOS assessments because of people like you, who don't understand that the ability to do one thing is not linked to the ability to do others. Disabled people often struggle in very specific areas. It's like saying rainman was faking because how could he be incapable of looking after himself if he was that good at math. It's a non sequitur though. They're not related to one another.
>>209211This makes a lot more sense as an argument and doesn't have nearly as many holes. You can't just say "She's not really autistic because she can do this" because it just doesn't work like that, and that attitude genuinely hurts real disabled people. Which is why she's shit, remember? Don't be the vehicle her shittyness spreads into the world in.
No. 209222
>>209214Yeah, it's pretty obvious that the schizophrenia symptoms were directly related to LSD, especially because there was no mention of them a year earlier. I don't know if a brief period of drug abuse could be to blame for her overall regression over 10 years, though. But then I've never done LSD so idk. There has to have been something else that happened between 14 and 24 that nobody knows about. Meeting that autistic girl (who must have been worse off than her) is one possibility, but what made her come to crave all that medical attention?
I have a theory that she was deeply affected by being away at college at a young age - something that was mentioned in her records as a reason why she couldn't be institutionalized. She couldn't handle the idea of growing up and having real responsibilities, so she convinced herself that she was much worse than she was. She longed for the days where she was cared for and had nothing to worry about. All the attention and sympathy she got from schizophrenia may have given her a taste of what kinds of benefits she could expect if she took on the identity of a patient.
No. 209227
>>209222Yes,a brief period of extreme drug use (her case, check the testimonials from her friends) can do that to you. She even got her fairy tree friends delusions after doing a shitload of LSD. (Notice she doesn't talk about those things any more?)
There was a blog linked her that had emails from her former friends, and they all have said her problems arised after her extreme use of LSD. It will do that to you.

She's a faker for attention. She probably had drug abuse schizoid issues that dissapated when she stopped drugs and had medical treatment.
She loves being "sick" it's all she talks about, all her videos are about it and she writes mountains of crap defending her illnesses and "proving" how real they are. No one proves their disease to this extent. She's only going that far because she knows it's all fake. She's probably normal and can verbal at home, but fakes when it come to her videos and when people visit her.
She is mentally I'll with Munchausen's disorder, and the only cure is for doctors and the people in her life to bring that to light and tell her they know she's faking.
No. 209238
>>209216I would normally agree with you, but people with autism are known for their lack of writing/communication abilities. Its part of the diagnosis. Math os a different ballgame, because there are rules to math, there's a formula and pattern that they can grab on to. Even art would be better. She claims to be such a low functioning autistic person that she can't do anything, but sit down and write elegantly? When one of the first things they'll test you on is written and verbal communication skills? She chooses not to verbally communicate, but autism not only affect motor skills (in the severe form she fakes) but the parts of your brain that allow you to make, and follow a logical train of thought.
It's not really right to discount people for these reasons, but clear lines have to be drawn. I'm not a medical expert (yet) but from what i learned, her writing "voice" is too clear. Her non verbal communication is too natural, it's not forced and formal.
But yeah, this is the last I'll say about it.
No. 209240
>>209238Her communication skills being too good is a standalone issue though. If they're too good for an autistic person, then they're too good full stop. They're not too good compared to level of proficiency she displays in other areas, you get me? The problem I have is with people saying "Well, she can clearly do this so why can't she do this other, unrelated thing she says she can't?" That kind of reasoning is shitty.
Anyway, again, I don't doubt she's faking. Anon's theory about her developing a taste for being a patient after having a drug induced breakdown seems the most fitting to me. Also seems like the one most likely to have fooled all of the medical professionals she's dealing with.

The following 2014 post on her blog could have/should have been shortened to simply read "If the doctors would just take my word for it because I read about the diagnosis I wanted and just give me the meds, this wouldn't have happened."
https://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2014/08/26/almost-alike-a-medical-cautionary-tale/Seriously, I think Amanda is probably a nightmare to have as a patient. She seems to think Googling symptoms is the same as a doctor's diagnosis. Then she gets irritated when they don't automatically believe her and just start writing a prescription or perform the procedure. I have a feeling that when she does get the medicine or procedure she demands (and says she has to fight for because doctors don't "value her life"), it's because the doctor just wants to get this wacko off his or her back until the next visit when she complains that more shit is wrong with her.

No. 235383
>>235272
>If she doesnt have autism then no one has autism.Are you parroting her?. She doesn't have an official diagnosis, and it's not like she's been avoiding doctors.
She probably just fucked herself up from the too much LSD she did. She was fairly normal before that, only afterwards she started acting schizophrenic.
But actually developmentally disabled? No, she would have way more symptoms when she was younger, to look like that now. The only symptom she had was being a little bit awkward, which obviously doesn't qualify for an autism diagnosis.
So mental illness, YES, developmentally disabled, NO. She's obviously crazy, but actually disabled, no. She's acting disabled for attention.
Also the only autistic person (and I've seen 200+) I know who had weird eyes like her, was born with them and had no relation to his autism. Didn't help his case, but it wasn't related. So it isn't even an unofficial symptom of autism. I think it would rather be caused by her 'LSD' abuse.
Amanda was just a smart girl who went to college way too early, so she was dropped in an adult world, while she was still emotionally developing. She started mimicking diseases to flee from reality, to give up responsibility. Eventually she did a ton of LSD and other psychedelics, started hallucinating about fairies, trying to commit suicide and and being aggressive towards others. And she kept doing it, just switching from disease, to disease and even took up a fucking disability.

I was mostly talking about what might have caused the whole eye thing. You need to fuck your brain up somehow to get your eyes stuck like that, because in childhood pictures her eyes seem fine.
And for some reason I doubt she actually took LSD, I'd rather guess it was something more unsafe.
And I also doubt that she could force her eyes to stay like that all the time. So it would have to be something other than Munchhausen's.

Here is the transcript of the second half of the CNN story that led to people calling out Amanda as not having been autistic all her life. They follow her to an autism convention in Canada where she has a little episode when things don't go her way.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0804/02/acd.02.htmlI think it's kind of obvious what that tantrum was really about. She talked about living independently, but parents of REAL autistic kids for whom this is not a viable solution began asking REAL questions about things like guardianship. Uh-oh! They're not buying Amanda's bullshit as she's presented it to them! And as such, she's not the center of attention. So she has a prima donna tantrum under the guise of an autistic meltdown.

She's trying to emulate combinations that just don't happen with autism. To a person who doesn't know many autists or hasn't read up on it, she looks like the real deal. And that's what she's going for.
Actual parents of autists, actual autists, and actual professionals have said that she isn't really autistic or at least doubt her.
She's also experiencing weird delusions/synesthesia, and blaming it on 'autism', while those things aren't part of autism at all.

If you question Amanda or her behavior, it's because of YOUR prejudices and the fact that YOU'VE been brainwashed by able-bodied society into having certain opinions and attitudes.

Amanda's mother Anna "defended" her daughter via video. Despite her gentle tone of voice and pleasant expression, I get a very cold vibe from this woman. She apparently posts on her daughter's blogs under the name "mom".
https://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/from-my-mother/I've long suspected that mother and daughter were/are working together in this whole thing. Notice in those medical forms that Amanda put on her blogs that when she was brought to these specialists at 13 and 14, it says it was her mother who always brought her; her father (whose clothes she now wears every day) is barely mentioned other than to say the she lives with both parents. But I've never been able to decide how it got started. Did/does Anna have Munchausen by proxy and took Amanda to all these specialists and convinced her of her illnesses so well that this is all she knows? Or did Amanda start faking things because of the stresses of being in a college world at 14 and mom went along with it happily?

It can be pretty damn easy to sit and type at a computer, but not as much so to actually get up and do shit for yourself. A lot of autistic people also can't talk very well but can communicate better through typing. Not being able to speak doesn't make you some shit-flinging retard like a lot of people think.

>>237723The issue isn't the 'not speaking, but able to type novels' stuff. That is actually a fucking stereotype of autism, everyone knows that one.
That's actually exactly the point, she is miss-matching autism stereotypes from several functioning levels. She's taking the worst from every functioning level and combining it.
She is portraying classical autism stereotypes, classical PDD NOS stereotypes and aspergers stereotypes. It doesn't happen that someone has ALL the types and functioning levels, AT ONCE.
It clearly shows that she's going off a list of autism symptoms and trying to emulate every single one of them to seem real, while in reality NO autistic person has ALL the symptoms from ALL the variations.
She's trying way too hard, and if she can't emulate a symptom, she'll just miss-attribute stuff to autism.

>>237736Exactly. And notice that when people call her on those glaring inconsistencies, she responds with her usual "stock" answers of how everything we know about autism comes from our own prejudices, how functioning levels serve no purpose other than to oppress people with disabilities, how no one takes her seriously because abelism, etc.
I wish I could find it, but on a WrongPlanet (she used to post there under the name "anbuend") post where someone asked something about autism and schizophrenia, she actually stated that schizophrenia doesn't even exist and gave a long list of reasons why the whole concept of that disease is rooted in outdated concepts and biases!

>>237310Sage for OT/coolstorysis but in my case, a big part of it is a difficulty with transition combined with sensory issues. It's the same reason I take relatively long to leave the house in the morning and why I regularly hang around work longer than I need even though I'd much rather be at home; once I've gotten used to a certain condition (like filthy pajamas) I don't want to leave it. Showering requires me to go into the cold bathroom, get out of my comfy pjs, get wet and get used to the water temperature. Once I get my ass in there I tend to take very long showers because afterwards I have to do the same thing in reverse; turn off the warm water and be exposed to cold air, towel off and get dressed which requires me to get used to the feel of clothing again, etc. plus I have a whole skincare routine which takes a while. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't experience this but for some reason, change (no matter how minor) is very stressful to me so it's easier to sit around in a familiar condition, no matter how uncomfortable, than get off my ass and do do something. It took my psychologist forever to convince me it's not just me being a lazy fuck (although tbh I'm still very much a lazy fuck).
TL;DR showering is complicated when you're an autist
Please note that I do, in fact, shower every day. It takes me more willpower than the average person but that's no excuse to sit around being gross all the time. Learning to deal with this sort of thing is part of growing up.
But I guess if you're craving attention as much as this creature is, rolling around in your own filth until other people feel obliged to wipe your ass for you is a pretty good way to get it.

The blog site against her autism diagnoses says that her mother had a breakdown when she first heard her daughter had Paranoid Schizophrenia, she even thoroughly denied her daughter had it regardless of what the doctors said. Then Amanda was "institutionalised" by her parents and her treatments were paid for, one hospital stay cost 8K for 8 weeks… but she's never been state institutionalised, just private hospitals.
Her mom is also a gung-ho Christian who doesn't believe in mental health problems, and that God can cure anything.
Her mother's crazy, sure… but she doesn't have MbP, the blog also said that her mom eventually got worn down by Amanda's constant need to find something wrong with herself and eventually she just gave up and went along with anything Amanda said.

>>237914I read the part about her mother having a breakdown about the schizophrenia diagnosis, but where did you see the part about Amanda wearing her down to the point of giving in?
>> 209214I have a somewhat similar theory about her "problems" starting around the time she went to college. I wonder if part of her special snowflake mentality stems from the fact that when she was in a regular school, her high intelligence and academic achievements (malingering and lack of hygiene aside, there's no doubt that this is an extremely intelligent woman) made her something of a star. However, at the gifted college, she was surrounded by OTHER gifted teens for the first time in her life. She no longer stood out, she just sort of blended in. And what's more, being surrounded by other gifted kids may have meant that for the first time, she had some real competition. She burned out. When she started exaggerating the extent of her illness, it may have because she felt she could no longer stand out as a gifted student, but she now had to stand out in a different way. Either way, I think at least part of this comes from being thrust into a college world at such a young age and being made to live a more young adult type life before she was emotionally mature enough.

An old video of Amanda discussing her "three months in a regular high school" and the problems she faced. According to her, her ending up in college was a serious miscommunication.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-hW-ZLcejkCompare that to her Straight Dope message board posts here.
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=438331Whichever story she tells (and she tells several), they never add up. If she was as severely disabled as she says in the first video, what "serious miscommunication" could ever have possessed school officials to put her in a gifted college? And what's more, why would her PARENTS go along with such an arrangement? They would had to have approved of sending her there. As far as her posts on the message board where she says that she simply raised her hand in college because she was mimicking what her classmates were doing and not because she knew what was going on, would a teacher have called on her at some point? Wouldn't the teacher have seen her behavior in class and known there was a serious problem? Especially a PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER of all things?!?
And then in her blog post about fat people and feeding tubes, she mention "a period of starvation in my early 20s". Here a pics from her Flickr page from about age 19 to 24. She's thin at 19, but notice by 2001 when she was 21, she's built pretty much like she is now. So when the hell was she starving?

I had a theory. Is it possible that this apartment complex is just a regular complex and she's just lying about it being one of those communities for the disabled because it fits her story? Perhaps there aren't all these caregivers and staff that work there, but she needs all those medical supplies from Amazon so she can pretend she's getting round-the-clock treatment.

From what I've seen, Amanda is out in public a lot a doctor's appointments, therapy, etc., and that cat never appears to be present.
Speaking of Amanda being in public all the time, she never appears to have any type of aide with her. How could someone as severely impaired as she claims to be go out in public alone? She also mentions that she likes crocheting and often takes her yarn and hooks out in public with her and does it while waiting for buses and things. She says people are often fascinated by her knitting and start conversations with her about it, saying something like "It's nice that knitting gives me such readily-available social interaction with others". Well, I'd like to know how she communicates with these people. Does she use her device? Does she just sit there?

This entire thing sounds entirely fake. I'm unsurprised by the things humans are capable of. However, I am not buying that the kind of story this "person" (a humiliation fetishist) wrote would have ended with her "waking up in the hospital." It just sounds like a lazy storyteller who got tired of the character and didn't know where to go with the story.
*EDIT: There is a post in the comments claiming to post the other part of her story about when she was in the hospital. Apparently she wants us the readers to believe she was in a "coma" for but three days. And was never confronted by doctors as to why there were traces of meat and hundreds of maggots crawling in her vagoo. Sounds like OP just googled symptoms of TSS on Wiki and wrote the rest of it around that.
So this writer is going to get off on thinking her pussy is ruined, soiling her own sleeping space, and essentially dumpster diving for the pleasure. Yet she's not gonna spill the juicy, equally humiliating deets that surely would have happened in the hospital? She's not going to say how she "came" with humiliating embarrassment after she made her mother upset and lost her job? She can write anonymously on the internet about stuffing maggots and feces in her pussy but can't reveal the discussion between her mother while she was in the hospital for…reasons? Secrets? And her mother magically "understands" this kind of self-destructive fetish? Haha what?

I don't think that's what happened to this… thing. But it's hard to tell, everything she says is lies and she obviously has some sort of medical professional believing her version of events.
>>357403>>357412Yeah, the second anon is right. The pattern of use you're talking about does exist and cause psychosis though, just with with stimulants. It was really common back when doctors were prescribing housewives tons of "pep pills". Drug induced psychosis can occur after one trip on very strong hallucinogens, I think the type of trip is more important in the case of hallucinogens, because as the other anon said; your tolerance becomes so high they no longer work for a substantial time period.
People who are more susceptible to paranoid, grandiose thoughts are likely to have a "Bad trip" that leads to them exhibiting psychosis like symptoms. Instead of feeling like they're one with the universe or something nice and spiritual like that, they think they're at the center of a grand conspiracy. and just like the people who felt great are influenced by it when they're sober, so are the people who had a bad time.
It can literally tip people right over the edge into insanity, not that it's hopeless they can't recover though.

>>357425I think the only way she could've got fucked on hallucinogens every day; is if she had access to an actual bottle of LSD (to increase the dosage higher and higher on a daily basis) and the chances of an average joe getting their hands on something like that is extremely unlikely… she wouldn't be able to increase the dosages with regular tab acid, the tolerance would kick in after a couple of days, she would have to be a chemist to produce anything more than 250 mics of LSD, (and that was the dosage the creator of it made himself)
It sounds like a case of dumbass college peers making up stories to explain her psychosis, or as you mentioned - she was mixing regular tab acid with uppers on a daily basis, hallucinogens are very unlikely to be the sole cause and source of her problems though.

>>358010 I just forgot to mention that what her college peers seemed to be describing is something that gives the effects of schizophrenia… for all we know, it was more than likely she was taking dissociatives like DXM (which is commonly found in cough syrups)… I bet you anything she was hitting up the pharmacies and stocking up on over-the-counter shit like Robitussin or Benylin for a cheap dissociative trip.
It makes sense, especially considering it's a common drug abused by teenagers and fits in with the fact that students are usually short of money a lot of the time. It's cheap, legal and easy to get ahold of and taking enough of it gives a dissociative effect similar to the symptoms of schizophrenia.

She's one of my abiding fascinations in terms of lolcows. I first saw her famous video as part of a presentation about alternative and augmentative communication, and it just looked… off. Then I read her blog, where she really can't keep it straight why she needs a feeding tube (at times it's dysphagia and avoiding aspiration, at other times it's gastroparesis, then something about textures), and generally plays up the whole 'poor autistic flower in a fascist world that treats her like a burden' angle (the very title of the blog, Ballastexistenz, is so fishing for someone to tell her that no, you're a wonderful precious flower and we don't want to herd you into a camp of course!). Based on her former friends' statements (many of whom, tbh, are cows in their own right), I used to think she fried her brain with LSD and other hallucinogens but I'm starting to think she is a garden variety munchie who got into things before hypermobility, EDS, POTS and the rest were trendy, and latched on to this autism spiel. There are some very rare etiologies of acquired autism (for example, a rare autoimmune encephalitis called anti NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis can cause psychosis as well as symptoms that are pretty damn close to an acquired form of autism), but short of those very rare conditions and instances of very evident brain damage, this kind of adult onset autism just doesn't happen.

>>414225early autism shows first solid signs around 3, usually motor function and in severe cases prolonged language acquisition or nearly none at all. With the severity in adulthood it must have been noticeable quite early.

>>420084If that's the case, she actually looks really young for her age given her weight. Weird.
Looking at all of these pictures is pretty depressing, given how she turned out. It seems on the surface like she had a comfy life. Not gonna make an armchair diagnosis, but given her attention-seeking and illness-faking, she probably ran into some sort of problem as a kid, despite how nice her childhood looks in pictures. Behavior like this usually doesn't spring out of nowhere.
