It's nice to have a place to communicate with others who understand you. Although I have quite a few friends, I know that they often get annoyed with me.
My son was diagnosed with aspergers 7 years ago by the leading specialist in Australia. At the time he asked me if I had it, to which I replied,of course not! He suggested I read a book, which I thought would help answer questions about my son. The book, in fact, was about a mother who realised she had aspergers after her child was diagnosed. OK, I got the message!
Then I thought back to the way I was as a kid:
Thought I was an alien at 15 years (well I always felt different).
Wrote in mirror writing (unfortunately the teachers refused to mark my work).
Took on the personalities of others (real and from books) including their accents and mannerisms. In my defense, it made me feel more socially acceptable
Anyway, I could keep going on, but the result is, I realised I am an aspie (and I don't mind it, if only others would let me be!).
Nice to know you
