| Due to the recent events beyond my control, all of the things I've worked on for the past five years have been completely destroyed. I don't know how much, if anything, I'll get back and for how long I'll be out of commission. I don't feel my life has been completely wasted, however, because I have ... |

| It feels horrible. Five years of hard work to become more independent down the drain. I don't know how much, if anything, I'll get back. Fortunately, I have friends calling me to ask how I'm doing and to provide updates on activities. That feels good. |

Sharon,
I'm the opposite, high verbal, average non-verbal (and a complete failure in tasks such as block design). Based on my scores, I was told that I wouldn't be able to perform most tasks others took for granted. It was demoralizing. |

| I noticed around fourth grade that I couldn't do certain simple things others took for granted. I got laughed at by fellow students, some who were functionally illiterate and failing all their classes. I knew something was wrong with me, but Asperger syndrome wasn't a diagnosis then. |

Social anxiety (Now I like being with people, especially those who share common interests).
Wasn't athletic at all and tended to be clumsy (Now I play tennis).
Trouble with mechanical things (Still have that)
As for multitasking, I can do it, but it's an ineffective way to work. |
