question about my girlfriend

Post Reply New Topic

my girlfriends who either aspie or hfa always trys acting too normal
at times, it really gets to me sometimes b/cuz shes very hard to communicate
with sometimes i have to becareful of what I say or do or I will hear her complain
about it. Now my question is do you know any folks with aspie or other disabilty
that try acting too normal for their own good. I mean , i have nothing against people
trying to be normal the best they can but as long as they dont put other people down
with aspie or other disabilty. I love her alot, I just need some advice if this is common with
people who have aspie or hfa.

my little brother trys to act 'normal' the way he sees his friends act 'normal'. he always comes off acting too mucch like them.. i use to but realized my real personality was much mmore interesting. i geuss its pretty common. i don't think i know anyone who hasn't tried to be like everyone else at least once

I grew up trying to 'fake' normal and maybe that's often why people would not have guessed a lot of the issues I had. I forced myself into something I was not meant to be. I was meant to be different which I've finally accepted at 32 years of age. Of course, back when I was young too, things were a little different, Aspergers didn't exist as a diagnosis when I was a child, ADHD really didn't start being recognized where I lived till I was in late jr. high-sr. high. And being a female, well often issues are different as well.
