I to have Asperger's and sometimes I HATE having it. My social skills are not good.I get SO frustrated because I don't know what to say half of the time. I just feel broken with Asperger's!

Yeah, Asperger's f***ing sucks.

You can work on improving some of this stuff. I can pass as NT (albeit an eccentric one); I did that with practice and experimentation. Still, certain things I'd want for myself are far out of reach, and right now I'm trying to assess what goals I can achieve and figure out how to achieve them.

The OP opened this thread five years ago, and appears long gone from WP, so support is no longer needed. Reopening it to debate whether ASDs are a difference is misplaced here because this is a protected forum (see the guidelines above). Debate threads can be opened in nearly all other parts of WP, though not here please.

Welcome to WP Apple98. You'll soon get the hang of it :) You can open your own thread here if you are feeling a bit blue and would like some member support. Or you could open a debate thread in the General Autism forum if you want to explore the disorder/difference perspectives.
