When I was in school/college with my friends from 2003-2009 they never raised the subject of my aspergers and I just blended in with them very well. But these days its harder for me to fit in with my associates from school without them pointing out my aspergers.


Do you think it could be because in 2007 there was not as much awareness of AS or it could it simply be kids don't 'think' so much like adults do?

Life experience. Back then things did not matter, as we age we start to narrow down and broaden that which matters.

How does that relate to me standing out?

Their views are changing also.
