I think you should just approach her tell her that, without waiting for her to ask. That way she will see that you are being truthful.
She had organised a mental gym for us the trainer was saying that all sort of disabilities can be healed by doing the set of exercises.
so i guess indirectly she wanted to help me

Is she familiar with professional psychology or is she just subscribing to some Hindu-type belief? According to professional opinion, Asperger cant be cured it can only be improved. Also a professional wont be making such sweeping statements as universal gym for all possible mental conditions. If I were you I would be a bit weary and at least ask your therapist what do they think.
No actually our office psychologist who also counsels students in the NGO had taken this session
She made the entire staff do this set of exercises

she said that disabilities can be reduced by doing these exercises
and both the side of the brain gets activated.

Hi this is Vijay,
I'm a self-diagnosed asp.... so either I definitely have it or after reading 3 books on the same, I have convinced myself that I have it. I still have anxiety attacks, thinking of going to a shrink to be professionally diagnosed ! !! In my head, keep imagining that I'll go and tell the doc that "My name is Khan ....... and I'm not a terrorist"
Nice to read through so many people and their inflictions with AS; I feel both happy and sad.
Happy that I can finally be free and realise that I am not alone, in being unable to understand this wretched illogical dishonest world. Sad that now I am not the chosen one (big Matrix fan), my ego had dreamt up me to be.
... I got absorbed in my own self chatter, forgot to mention I'm currently living in Bangalore.
Recently during appraisal my managers asked me why i am not interacting with others, why is there no rappo
I was caught redhanded i blurted out well i have asperger syndrome....so my manager asked are you diagnosed
I said yes..(actually i am not i am self diagnosed)
Can anyone help me out with diagnosis here in india
If its of any consolation same thing kinda happened to me too.
I told my team and boss of my AS condition after a nasty outburst. The ignorant chubs at office started to think I was "Taare Zameen Par" and since I am articulate in my language; everyone either thinks I'm a despo/wacko or making a bad joke.
I've now made extra effort to make it seem as a bad joke (my soul is burning and my nose is bigger than Pinocchio) ...

Thks, the sense of humour is due to some good friends and family wit .... along with long list of AS inflicted incidents which now you can only laugh about
Everyone is weird (in a good or bad way) ... the only thing to keep in mind, is that in most workplaces, unfortunately you get rewarded based on team performance. So I may not be the easiest person to work with, but I ensure that I am not at the bottom of the pyramid ..... until I find a job/place where I fit in.
After all "Yeah, Hindustan hain mere Jaan" .... where the official motto is 'Kindly Adjust'
Hi Nishanth! Is your username a backronym for ADD?
I see that you've posted in this thread before. I'm Gujju and I know Gujarati and Hindi well. I like languages, but I like scripts more. If I could make myself do it, I would learn Spanish, Korean and Tamil. The Korean script Hangul I know almost quite well (except for some vowels). I can read it very slowly, though it's no use because I don't know the language.
What are your other interests? Or some of the things that you like about India?

Hello Dhawal! It's funny that you mention the nickname, because..well, to be honest, around the same time that I was introduced to WP I was feeling bad about myself and there was a lot of chaos going on in my life, so I somehow decided because of that, the name was fitting as a kind of joke, I guess..Now, it seems kind of funny, and it's funny that you mentioned the ADD. As for interests, let's see...I have a lot of interests. Right now I am big into televisions shows such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It's an american tv show from the 1990's. I'm guessing you haven't heard of it although i could be wrong. In general I am interested strongly in science fiction/fantasy, all kinds of music, writing and different cultures, in particular the Indigenous cultures, such as the Native Americans. I also like learning about traditional cultures in general. I like to read, and I've started playing video games again. In truth I'm probably familiar with just about every kind of interest there is, including philosophy, and literature, and many different kinds of sciences including string theory.. with the heavier or higher subjects, (especially Reading and Writing) it's so easy to lose track of them and spend endless hours on the computer..sadly.
You should mention some things about yourself.
That Buffy serial used to be there on Star World in the 90s! I never saw it, but they always showed the advertisement on other Star channels. I was like - a modern urban vampire slayer girl Americans are crazy. Looking back, it was nowhere near as crazy as it is now.
Haha my list is nowhere near as big as yours! I like some Sci-fi movies but I don't read fiction books. I like all kinds of music except rock, jazz, classical and hip-hop. I think I listen to more of Bollywood, classic soul, nu-jazz, classic country and (accessible) world music. I love maps - right now I'm into population density maps. I like democracy and people's movements, but left-right politics turns me off. If there is something about India that you're interested in (provided it's not heavy) I would love to discuss that!
