coming out of the closet with this text

Post Reply New Topic

Are you sitting comfortably? Try to imagine a world where most people do use a secret language and all people thinks that you know it. Imagine that people do not have any facial expressions nor tone of voice. Imagine that some people suddenly get mad at you without any apparent reason. Then imagine that people around you suddenly began to laugh. Imagine that people sometimes says something but mean something else and everyone else understand what they mean except you. Imagine that some smells make physically ill and try to imagine that bright light (also know as good weather) hurts your eye. Imagine that 20 mins break in a full coffee corner is more mentally draining than a full day of work. Imagine that your body works like a clockwork: Getting hungry at the same time of the day, and get sleepy same time at night. Imagine that you cannot eat some kind of food because that it have certain kind of textures. Imagine that you was an Aspie, just like me.

Do you think it cach the important part of being an aspie? Would you write it differently? And do I miss something?

I think you have caught the essence of what you wanted to say wonderfully.

That is beautifully put and pretty much covers what it is like to be an aspie. If you don't mind me asking, what inspired you to write something like this?

spot on.
i think i might even paraphrase what you have posted when people ask me what its like.

:')

salamandaqwerty: you are welcoem to paraphrase me if that will make your day. I am happy that you think it is woth it.

SRT456: My inpsiration was more like lag of good sources of explenation of what it feels like to be an Aspie. So I need to do it myself.

I think the text still need some work. In the current form it lakes the posetiv effect of being an aspie such as dedication of our interest and our loyalty for the few friends that we have. And our higher that avarage IQ

I'm also not so sure about the "are you sitting comfortably" bit at the start. It could be perceived as condescending to the reader or at least a bit unnecessary. I'd consider just dropping that sentence.

But other than that - yes, I think it's very well put!

I have alteret the text a bid. Now it looks like:

Imagine what you would do for a friend if you will go through hell and back again for a nice colleague.

Imagine that people keep telling that you are intelligent but you're have huge problem with figuring out how people are feeling based on how they behave. A last you should imagine that everything is in black or white.
Imagine that you was an Aspie, just like me. 

So you found a paper in the closet with that written on it? No, just kidding. Your paragraph is a pretty good snapshot of what its like be in certain parts of the Spectrum.
