cheers man for trying to help

please dont think about killing urself in ur first message u talked about having a laugh wiv ur mates on friday nights sounds like u have good friends and u dont want to lose that.

u can have a normal life most ppl who find out about something and claim they cant live a normal life are the ones who stop themselves living a normal life. if u dont stop urself then theres nothing to stop u really.

it doesnt sound stupid coz i have felt it too lots of us have. this forum saved me coz i cud talk to ppl who understand wot i am going through. sounds like ur a male verison of me lol. this is was made to help aspies out and make them feel better and more secure wiv who they are.

at least thats wot i take from it.

*yawn* So late. Lol

I found these videos on Youtube- they present a realistic view of the spectrum, it can be hard to relate when you see all the drama in the media portraying us as voilent, hopeless idiots (and yet very clever too!). I've seen videos of people on this site. Some people are so obviously autistic and yet with some people you just can't tell at first glance- I think I'm somewhere in the middle. Sometimes you need to notice things about others to notice things about yourself, you know what I mean?

(some guy from this forum- I thought he did really well).

Living properly is in the eye of the beholder. If you are true to yourself and not harming anyone, then you are living properly.

There are many Aspies who are in relationships, have jobs they like, have friends, have respect....the whole thing. There are many people on this forum who fit that description. So don't give up on yourself. There is no reason to. You sound like a really nice, friendly person with a lot to offer. Whatever label a doctor puts on you doesn't change who you are.

No 2 aspies are the same. I doubt anybody has every symptom of an ASD. You seem to be very high functioning, from what you say about your relationships with your friends. There's no reason you can't have a normal life. It sounds like you have the skills to get along with your co-workers and a lover in the future, it sounds like you won't have the problems that lower-functioning aspies do. It's a spectrum - don't go all doom-and-gloom on us. You've done fine in society so far; no reason to think you won't continue to do fine.

I agree with someone who posted earlier - ask the Dr. who diagnosed you what makes him think you've got AS, and maybe get a 2nd opinion if the answer doesn't convince you. (Here in the US I think you'd need your parents to agree to that; hopefully it's different where you are,)

What's normal... & how important is it?
