Greetings hhc ^^ Ive been on this site for almost a year now and had some awesome pet advice which helped out alot! Now I just need some advice from experienced people about something else.
I was recently diagnosed with aspergers, for those of you who do not know what aspergers is, it's a high functioning autism, people with aspergers tend to make little eye contact, have trouble making friends, and become obbsessed with one topic or object (mine is sonic the hedgehog and human behavior) there are lots more symptoms but theyre difficult to remember, anyhow I just found out about my aspergers,And even though I had it all my life, it still comes as a struggle and a hard understanding to me. Like most things I can't understand or curious about, I researched aspergers. I've been reaserching for 3 days now and still have no idea what to make of it. The news wasn't a shock to me because i knew something wasn't right. I have mentioned and apologized to people about my disliking and discomfort to look people in the eyes, during a conversation. People often complain that my voice is to loud and I have lost friends because of that, and most of all I always had afwul hand-I-cordnation. So to get to my point, if anyone has expeirience with high function autism, id be more then happy for some tips, advice and facts. ![]() |

I helped with a young woman who had aspergers a couple years back. What we found to be most helpful during those situations that you are frustrated for not understanding or feeling very uncomfortable is a quick quiet time if possible whether it be with head phones on or some place quiet. It is also very important to remember that YOU have aspergers but are not defined by that label. The woman I helped with repeated that to herself every morning, although there is information out there only you know you and shouldn't let the title of the disease be your title.

There is a woman who blogs very successfully about careers who has Aspergers. Her name is Penelope Trunk, and I love reading her posts. Maybe her blog posts would give you an idea of how to live and be successful with Asperger's. Blog.penelopetrunk.com. Good luck.
I agree with chas0915, you are not your diagnosis, so don't let it define you. Let it be something you learn about and work with, but not who you are. Just like all of us, you have strengths and weaknesses and must learn to work with them. The great thing about having a diagnosis is that you can understand better what your strengths and weaknesses may tend toward. That is wonderful insight to have as you move forward to success in your life. Good luck in your endeavors! |

Don't let the aspberger's define who you are. You are you, and will always be you; nothing can change that. Remember to breathe when you get frustrated and find creative ways to express your frustration. My sister was diagnosed with Aspberger's when she was 12; she's 28 now. When she gets frustrated, she draws out her emotions and by the end, she's feeling just fine.

I do have lots of questions about my condition and how this will affect me in the future. Ive been thinking about it and Its very comforting to hear that you have it as well. I have trouble with loud banging and slamming noises, it'll give me twitches and anxiety, my dad doesnt believe me though, which makes me very very upset ![]() ![]() |
