My name is Missy, I do not have AS but my younger sister however does. I am doing a research paper for my school on Asperger Syndrome and I was wondering if anyone on here would be willing to help me. I have some questions to ask and try and get different point of views for different people with AS. So if you would like to help me please answer the following questions either on here or send them to my email. Mississippi1323@yahoo.com preferably email because I don't check this a lot.
Also is there anyone who wouldn't mind telling me their story? ex. when you were diagnosed, what your life has been like so far, school, problems you have encountered because of AS. It would be a huge help to my paper to write about someone's story. It doesn't need to be very long and don't worry about using any names because they will all be changed and will only be seen by me. If you are willing to tell me your story please send it to the email address listed above. Thank you.
Questions:
1. Age/Gender:
2. Do you ever feel like you are any different from anyone else?
3. How have you coped with behavioral problems?
4. If you were given the chance to change yourself so you didn't have AS anymore would you do it?
5. Do you also have problems with OCD?
6. What things set you off and upset you or make you happy?
7. What are your plans for the future? ex. school, career, family etc.
8. When were you diagnosed?
9. What things interest you? ex. movies, music, tv, hobbies
10. What is your family life like?
11. Do you have a lot of friends or do you find it hard to put yourself out there and make new friends?
12. What kind of grades do you/did you get in school?
13. Do you have a lot of problems with your teachers not understanding this disorder?
14. What do you think teachers should know about dealing with a child with AS?
15. What do you want people to know about people with AS?
16. How do you feel about people knowing you have AS?
17. Anything in particular you think I should add to my research paper about AS?
Thank you so much to anyone who helps me with this. I want to learn more about AS because of my sister...She has been diagnosed with it for as long as I can remember but I don't know nearly enough about it. So thank you.
P.S. Once again no real names with be used if I am given them. No matter how far away from me you live I will keep real names private, and Thank you again.
