Any comments?
All my life I knew I was different maybe even special because I possess so much talent it's pathetic but I always had massive problems when it came to social situations. I always had a diffacult time making friends because people think I don't care about them and that I can come off as a jerk but I'm not. When I found out I had Asperger's Syndrome I couldn't get out of bed for a week. I basically thought my life was over that I would never have any friends, that I would never enter a relationship with a girl, but after educating myself about AS I realized that I can still live a normal life but it will be difficult since my AS makes me a little bit odd. Anyway, I was told about this site by a close friend of mine. Just writing to say Hi and hoping I can be accepted at last because that's all I want.
