| I hate telephones. Hate them, hate them, hate them. Be in landlines or mobiles, I hate them. I especially can't stand how our home phone had no caller ID. So when my work phoned me on a Tuesday morning to ask me to work, I couldn't avoid the phone call without ignoring ringing and ringing and ringin... |

| I was due on the 21st December and didn't show my face until 2nd January. My mother also had a difficult labour with me and I ended up as an emergency Caeserean (sp?) after showing signs of "distress". I have heard, however, of people claiming that difficult births can have something to do with it, ... |

| What would I do, what would I do... Frogmarch myself to the doctors and get a diagnosis early. Spending 16 years just being plain "different" was pretty much awful. Have a shot at educating my relatives in AS. Which would mostly likely fail and cause me to lose my temper at them. I'm not sure. To be... |

| They tried. They failed. If they've learnt anything about me this year, they won't try again. In all honesty, I have nothing better to do. On my laptop, I do the small bit of socialising, play Sims 2 for hours, hang around here, read the news, check the weather, do assignments, listen to music, watc... |

| Just to put the record straight: I am not a parent, I have no Aspie child. I /am/ the Aspie child xD My general advice to you would be to let him be who he is. My parents tried in vain for many, many years to socialise me when all I ever wanted was to be left alone. Also, I'd be careful using litera... |

I haven't told any other students at school yet, I'm not taking the risk of getting stick for having something wrong with me that no one can see. I, myself, take pride in not being normal. I know I think differently than "... |

Then again, I've been waiting for you to understand for years, so I won't hold my breath. Dear Friends, Thank you. Dear People at College, Please, p... |

Heck, I don't even proclaim them anymore. I do have strong beliefs over things like abortion, but I've stopped saying th... |

In college, it's easier for me to distract myself with work and excuse myself from having to socialise. Also, peopl... |

| I find the best method probably be to just smile. I'm actually the opposite - I'd rather people left me alone so I could get on with my own thing. Sitting with other people my age talking about, well...rubbish, in my opinion, bores the socks off me. But, yeah, smiling and answering anyone who talks ... |

I'll just launch into full-conversation, asking them about this and did they read that and what not. With everyone else (ie:... |

Oo Can't they see that getting drunk/high/smoking/sex will eventually come back to hit them. What doesn't help is I'm o... |
