Here I cooooooooooooooome!
I'm not a English speaker (I speak Chinese actually) so perhaps there will be a few mistakes.I'll try my best to avoid them but...something unexpected always happens,you know.I hope these mistakes won't screw up the meaning I originally intended to express.
So now,for god's sake,I wish there will be no grammar or vocabulary mistakes here.
I'm not really sure if talking some private things here is ok so I'm going to talk something about the Aspies in China.I do have something to say cuz I'm an Aspie myself.
Chinese people do know something about autism,what they know little is Asperger's Syndrome.It's understandable,in a way,because Aspies act as normal people the most of times.But the bad thing is some of then recognize Aspies as the badboys or badgirls and even blame them for this.Not every Chinese is like this but,SOME of them is really absurd.My family don't know that I'm an Aspie so emmm they just say something bad to me sometimes(it's not complaint,it's just a fact).I've got some Aspie pals and this is what we all think.
It may be really strange to have a Chinese minor here but I just noticed this forum while surfing then I signed up.Well I may offend someone so just tell me if you think you have been offended.
Wish you a good day!

你好
很高兴认识你
I totally know that feeling about making mistakes and always telling people first, that there might be some mistakes since English is my second language I also have the urge to tell that.

I can't imagine how hard it must be. In my experience mental health is still a not so open topic in the Chinese society. But at least the younger people I know are starting to open up about it.

Welcome to WP....

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.

Ahoy-hoy.

Welcome aboard.
Don't worry about your English...it's pretty good.
Not everyone in here is a spelling nazi. (Well....I can be, but I'm not going to correct anyone unless they ask.)
I think you'll find everyone in here pretty tolerant.

Ni-Hao!

Welcome to Wrong Planet. I have Asperger's Syndrome which is called Aspie for short. I am a male and Asperger's can display differently between men and women. Women tend to know how to hide it easier.

You mentioned that many times Aspies are looked at poorly. You wrote, "Aspies act as normal people the most of times. But the bad thing is some of then recognize Aspies as the badboys or badgirls and even blame them for this."

That is true. But let me try and explain this. I do not make eye to eye contact. Generally, I look a little off to one side. When people talk to me, they notice this immediately and falsely figure that I am trying to hide something. That I am evil, a liar, dangerous. I tested this theory out several years ago. I bought a pair of special glasses. They look like sunglasses but they allow me to see out without letting anyone see my eyes. I wore these glasses and something very strange happened to me. People would come up to me, strangers would come up to me and begin conversations. They could no longer tell I was an Aspie and I became a normal human to their eyes.

One other bit of information to add. The condition that we have is said to be hereditary. So if you look around throughout your family, your parents, your cousins, you may find that you are not alone. They run in the family.
