chimchar: some schools are no better than lord of the flies. have you talked to the teachers about the other students behaviour? do they know you have AS? do your parents know? in my mind I may be underestimating how your AS symptoms are affecting your life. so what symptoms do you have?

It was like I was able to take a sigh of relief after 32 years of not knowing wtf is going on . I've always had this profound sense that something was wrong with me and the way I felt about life, my interactions - massive confusion. it seemed that I can't open my mouth without hurting someone. The awareness of AS made me feel ok to be me. After a lifetime of trying to fit in and failing miserably, I can now focus on myself and embrace my identity. My therapist (who hates pshychiatric lables) said that I am the kind of person that will be much happier if I stop trying to fit in socially.
