How do you feel being an aspie? Please respond

Post Reply New Topic

I'm actually glad that I have Aspergers, because without it, I would be an idiot like most NTs.

AS explains everything I have had to cope with, and I'm grateful I have a logical explanation for what I've had to cope with.

sometimes I wish I didn't have it but most times I don't even care if I have it because I'm happy and don't feel effected by it like right now.
But I am proud to be an apsie because it makes me special and different and a very strong person. Despite my disability, I’m not letting it stop it from me trying to have a relationship or have a job or live on my own. It has also left me with gifts. I remember when I was a kid, I always wondered why I had a better memory than everyone else. I could collect facts and absorb them in my head, I could remember people’s birthdays or where they were born. I also think narrow interests is a gift. I was obsessed with London and Dalmatians, and movies. I even got obsessed with the city Spokane after becoming obsessed with Benny & Joon. I got obsessed with London and Dalmatians after seeing 101 Dalmatians and I was obsessed with it right after I saw it in theaters. I was obsessed with other things my whole life.

Yeah I agree, aspieness invites negative things such as bullying and misunderstanding, but it also gives us gifts, like the ability to accomplish good academic results and the different behaviour.

I feel lonely, depressed, and anxious.

Special
It helps to understand myself better.
Also I feel lonely, frustrated and misunderstood (but that could just be adolescence).

I don't have anything against NT's, but I am actually thankful for my condition. Though the social part of it can be a bit of a hindrance, I excel in many other areas without trying. I managed to score an 800 on the math part of the SAT without studying, and am a fairly talented composer.

I have no problem with having AS itself. But I wish I rather was an aspie with high IQ, good look, good skills in math, physics, chemistry and biology.

If I had thoose skills it would not matter if I was NT or had AS.
