Years ago I was in denial about my Aspergers Syndrome, terrified of being stereotyped and labelled. Yet now I almost want to be more uniform so that I can fit in more.
I thought that meeting other aspies offline (plus the many that are at my college) would be the natural way to go, but it seems like the only people who I can really relate to are too shy- and I'm not even that extroverted.
It's hard to say 'I have Aspergers Syndrome' and do a documentary on the subject when I see how different so many people are with AS. I know it's called a 'spectrum' for a reason, and that everyone is an individual no matter if they have AS or not, but it can get quite depressing when I'm not sure what things are caused by me having AS and what things aren't.
