| I'm actually (apparently) pretty damn perfect. I do well in school, obey my parents, and (since I don't have very many friends and don't see the appeal in going out to party) never get into much trouble. I usually stay in my room reading about European history, which keeps my 'rents happy. It's my (... |

| Thanks, guys, this really helps. It's just nice to be able to come home and get on WP and realize that I AM NOT ALONE. You'd think I was some freak case nobody'd ever heard speak about before or something, based on the reactions I got. Grrr... |

| At my school, I'm in an advanced program called the International Baccalaureate. We have a class called Theory of Knowledge, which is somewhat like philosophy; we discuss how language affects perception, culture, and emotion. This week we are doing a reading for a seminar by Temple Grandin, an autis... |

| I am most definitely proud. How could I not? I don't see how people could label Asperger's as a disability, if all it really does for me is help me do better in most subjects and have a passion that most of my classmates can only ever dream about. Sure, my social faux pas and inadequacies can be bad... |

One of my friends has it but does not know I do....
I suspect one of my friends might have it, but it'd be awkward to ask.
There is this guy at my school, who does the morning weather announcements, who I know is an Aspie for a fact...but I don't know how to approach him, it'd be strange...  |

| So, my mum refuses to accept I might have Asperger's. My dad has it for sure, and my older sister and I are both self-diagnosed. I show just about all the symptoms. Yet my mum says that I am perfectly neurotypical. She won't even let me see a psych. to ask, nor will she let my dad do so (they're div... |

| Scher, Why do you hate your stepmother? for the simple reason that she thinks that, because I'm an Aspie, I'm stupid, that I will never get any friends, and that I will end up begging for money in a street corner (since I won't be able to get a job). Also, she has tried to put my mum in jail repeat... |
