I hate having aspergers because people call this kind of people "different" "weird", "special needs kid" etc. The last thing i would like to be is who fails to comply with society (i mean being strange). But here i am. I just wanted to fit in with the rest of people. I cant mask all the time to seem normal.

Sometimes I dislike it for those reasons too. But most of the time I don't care. I never mask. I am considered strange.

Yeah, it seems impossible. I fell behind neurotypicals before I was even 6 years old and have never come anywhere close to relating to the vast majority of them. Probably never will.

Being on the spectrum is a part of your human essence!
